In powder conveying systems, chute air permeable fabric is a core component. Selecting a suitable one can reduce the failure rate by over 40% and energy consumption by 15%-20%. This article provides practical references from the aspects of performance indicators, selection process, scenario-specific solutions and key points to avoid pitfalls.
The selection of chute air permeable fabric centers on "air permeability uniformity, wear resistance and environmental adaptability", with six key indicators: Air permeability is matched according to material density (80-120 L/(m²·s) for light materials, 50-80 L/(m²·s) for medium materials, 30-50 L/(m²·s) for heavy materials), and the deviation must be ≤5%; Uniformity is determined by the coefficient of variation (≤3%) or smoke test to prevent conveying fluctuations; Wear resistance is selected based on working conditions (≥5,000 cycles/mm for low-wear conditions, ≥8,000 cycles/mm for medium-wear conditions, ≥12,000 cycles/mm for high-wear conditions), and the tear strength must be ≥200N; For temperature resistance, a 10-20℃ margin is reserved according to the material temperature (polypropylene/polyester for normal temperature, aramid for medium temperature, glass fiber + fluororesin for high temperature); Corrosion resistance is selected based on pH value (acid-resistant polyester/PTFE for acidic environments, polypropylene/modified polyester for alkaline environments, PTFE for strong corrosion); For fine powder conveying, "gradient pores" and a surface contact angle ≥90° are required to extend the cleaning cycle to 3-6 months.
Scientific selection follows four steps: The first step is to clarify three types of parameters: chute system, material characteristics and working condition requirements; The second step is to match the air permeability, temperature and corrosion resistant materials, and wear resistance grade; The third step is to verify through laboratory testing (deviation ≤5%) and 72-hour trial installation (air permeability attenuation ≤3%, wear ≤0.1mm/100h), and calculate the comprehensive cost; The fourth step is to ensure proper installation and sealing (using silicone gaskets), uniform tensioning (deviation ≤5%), conduct weekly inspections for damage and monthly backwashing in daily maintenance, and replace when the wear reaches 30% or the air permeability decreases by 20%.
Scenario-specific adaptations for various industries: For the cement industry, modified polyester/polypropylene is selected (air permeability 50-80 L/(m²·s), wear resistance ≥8,000 cycles/mm) with a service life of 2-3 years; For the grain industry, food-grade polypropylene/polyester is used (air permeability 80-120 L/(m²·s), antibacterial rate ≥99%) with a service life of 1-2 years; For the chemical industry, selection is made "on a material-specific basis", and PTFE-coated glass fiber is chosen for strong corrosion/high temperature conditions with a service life of 1.5-3 years; For the power industry, aramid or glass fiber + fluororesin is adopted (temperature resistance ≥200℃, wear resistance ≥12,000 cycles/mm) with a service life of 3-5 years.
Five key pitfalls to avoid in selection: Do not ignore air permeability uniformity; Do not blindly pursue high temperature resistance; Must select gradient pores for fine powder; Calculate the whole-life cycle cost; Ensure professional installation to prevent air leakage (≤5%).
In conclusion, the selection of chute air permeable fabric requires comprehensive consideration of material properties, working conditions and system parameters. It is recommended to cooperate with professional parties to develop customized solutions to ensure compatibility and guarantee stable and efficient conveying.
