How a Papermaking Plant Improved Material Flow with Conveyor System
Author :
To improve material flow, a paper mill in Yeni, Myanmar, optimized its soda ash handling using a high-performance En-masse Conveyor and Bucket Elevator system. This combination solved issues with dust and abrasion, ensuring a clean, enclosed, and space-efficient vertical and horizontal transport process. The upgrade resulted in 10% less waste and significantly lower maintenance costs, proving that these two machines are the perfect duo for demanding industrial chemical transport.
In the high-stakes world of paper production, the efficiency of chemical handling is often the difference between a profitable run and a maintenance nightmare. A prominent papermaking facility in Yeni, Myanmar, recently set a new benchmark for operational excellence by upgrading its soda ash (sodium carbonate) transport line.
The goal was simple but demanding: move bulk soda ash safely, prevent environmental contamination, and minimize equipment wear.
The Challenge: Managing "Difficult" Bulk Materials
Soda ash is vital for pH control and pulping in paper mills, but it is notoriously hard on equipment. It is abrasive, prone to dusting, and highly sensitive to moisture. In the humid climate of Yeni, traditional open-belt systems were failing, causing material clumping and hazardous dust levels in the factory.
Why This Equipment Just Works
Instead of over-complicating things, the plant went back to basics with two heavy-duty workhorses designed to handle the "dirty work" of chemical transport:
En-masse Conveyors (Buried Scraper Conveyor): These handle the horizontal heavy lifting. By moving the soda ash in a solid, enclosed column, they keep the dust inside the machine and the humidity out. No mess, no wastage.
Bucket Elevators: When the material needs to go up, these elevators provide a small footprint with big results. They were custom-built to resist the abrasive nature of the soda ash, ensuring the buckets don't wear down after just a few months of use.
Case Study: Success in Yeni, Myanmar
Project Focus: Optimizing Soda Ash Delivery for Pulping
Key Equipment: En-masse Conveyors & Bucket Elevators
Feature | Advantage in Papermaking |
Total Enclosure | Prevents soda ash dust from escaping, ensuring a clean and safe workspace. |
Space Efficiency | The vertical lift of the bucket elevator allowed the plant to expand capacity without taking up extra floor space. |
Low Maintenance | The "buried" chain design reduces friction and wear compared to traditional conveyors. |
The Outcome: By switching to this integrated system, the Yeni plant achieved a 10% reduction in material waste and significantly lowered its annual maintenance budget. The automated flow ensures that the pulping process receives a consistent supply of chemicals, removing the bottleneck that previously hindered production.
Conclusion
The Yeni project proves that the right hardware is the backbone of industrial efficiency. For papermaking plants dealing with corrosive or abrasive powders, the combination of buried scrapers and bucket elevators is the most reliable way to keep production moving.
