Sihyde developed a customized high-precision powder batching system for advanced ceramic manufacturing, designed to solve key production challenges including material traceability, batching accuracy, dust control, and complex multi-material management.
The system integrates intelligent material charging, multi-silo storage, precision weighing, pneumatic conveying, and digital production management technologies to provide a complete automated batching solution.
With high weighing accuracy, flexible recipe management, and full-process data tracking, the system helps ceramic manufacturers improve production consistency, reduce manual operation, and achieve more efficient intelligent manufacturing.
1. Smart Material Charging System with Barcode Verification and Dust Control
The automated charging system is designed to ensure accurate raw material identification and safe material handling.
Ton bags are lifted to the unpacking station by an electric hoist, while barcode verification technology ensures that the correct material is charged according to the production requirements.
This traceability system helps prevent material mixing errors and improves raw material management accuracy.
During unpacking, an independent dust collection system captures generated dust through a pulse-jet baghouse filter. The collected material is recovered into the storage process, reducing material waste and creating a cleaner production environment.
The intermediate storage system is equipped with vibration devices, screening components, and material level alarms to ensure stable material supply and prevent bridging or blockage.
2. 26-Silo Intelligent Storage System for Flexible Material Management
The system includes 26 storage silos arranged in an optimized layout to support efficient production operations.
Multiple production lines can operate simultaneously, improving manufacturing flexibility and reducing material handling complexity.
Each silo is equipped with high and low material level monitoring to prevent shortage or overfilling.
For powder materials with poor flow characteristics, pneumatic bin activators and air fluidizing devices are integrated to effectively prevent material bridging and ensure continuous discharge.
3. Ultra-High Precision Metering System with Self-Learning Control
The automated weighing system adopts a fixed weigh hopper structure with independent support design to minimize external vibration interference.
Dual variable-frequency screw feeders are used for coarse and fine feeding control, enabling precise two-stage material metering.
The system achieves weighing accuracy up to ±0.2%, meeting the strict requirements of high-quality ceramic production.
Automatic calibration functions simplify daily operation, while the intelligent self-learning algorithm continuously optimizes feeding parameters based on historical weighing data, improving long-term batching stability and consistency.
4. Fully Enclosed Pneumatic Conveying System
After accurate weighing, materials are transferred to the mixer through a fully enclosed positive-pressure dense-phase pneumatic conveying system.
The closed conveying process prevents secondary contamination and improves material cleanliness.
The receiving system is equipped with dust collection devices and pressure balance protection components to ensure safe and stable operation.
The pipeline layout includes expansion interfaces for future production capacity upgrades, while the control system is prepared for additional production lines without major software modification.
5. Safe and Efficient Equipment Design for Easy Maintenance
The system incorporates comprehensive safety and maintenance features.
Operator platforms are equipped with safety guardrails and access structures, while moving components are protected to improve workplace safety.
The weighing discharge system uses pneumatic valves for rapid material release and cleaning, reducing cross-contamination risks between different materials.
Inspection points are designed with convenient maintenance access, simplifying equipment servicing and troubleshooting.
6. Intelligent Control System with Full Production Traceability
The control system is based on Siemens PLC technology combined with high-precision weighing instruments and industrial-grade electrical components.
The integrated HMI/SCADA management system provides comprehensive production control functions, including:
Recipe creation and management
Raw material barcode tracking
User permission management
Historical production data recording
Weighing reports and consumption analysis
The system supports automatic and manual operation switching, providing flexible control during production, commissioning, and maintenance.
