YINCHI’s Three-Stage Unclogging Method Resolves Pneumatic Conveying Clogging in 30 Minutes

2025-04-23

Clogging in pneumatic conveying systems remains a critical challenge for industries worldwide. YINCHI , a pioneer in pneumatic conveying solutions, introduces a proven Three-Stage Unclogging Method developed by veteran engineers. This systematic approach enables operators to resolve silo pump blockages within 30 minutes, minimizing downtime and maximizing productivity.



Silo Pump Clogging: A Persistent Challenge in Pneumatic Conveying Systems

As core components of YINCHI pneumatic conveying systems, silo pumps are vital for transferring powders and granules. However, clogging accounts for 45% of system failures, causing production delays, safety risks, and energy waste. Key factors include:


  • Material mismatches (28% of cases)
  • Improper equipment sizing (22%)
  • Operational errors (20%)
  • Aging components (18%)


YINCHI’s analysis of 100+ cases reveals that clogging costs industries an average of 2-4 hours of downtime per incident, with energy consumption spiking by 30-50%.

The Three-Stage Unclogging Method: Engineer-Proven Solutions

Developed through 30 years of field expertise, YINCHI’s Three-Stage Unclogging Method combines airflow dynamics and mechanical intervention for rapid results.


  • Stage 1: Airflow Shock (0-10 Minutes)

           Step 1: Identify blockage via pressure gauges and acoustic checks

           Step 2: Apply controlled air pulses (0.6 MPa max) to dislodge material

           Success Rate: 65% for fresh blockages


  • Stage 2: Vibration Loosening (10-20 Minutes)

           For stubborn clogs, YINCHI engineers recommend:

           Targeted mechanical vibration (1-2 Hz frequency)

           Simultaneous air pressure adjustments (60-70% capacity)

           Case Study: A cement plant reduced downtime by 72% using this method


  • Stage 3: Chemical Assistance (20-30 Minutes)

           For hardened or hygroscopic materials, YINCHI’s chemical protocols include:

           Food-grade alcohol for dry powders

           Silica-based agents for moist materials

           MSDS-compliant solvents for industrial compounds

           Safety Note: Always verify chemical compatibility via YINCHI’s Material Guide.
