UPFLOW successfully designed and manufactured two customized Positive Pressure Pneumatic Conveying Systems for an industrial customer, providing reliable powder transportation solutions for calcium carbonate and barium carbonate materials.
Unlike a single-material conveying application, this project required two independent conveying systems designed according to the characteristics of different powder materials. Although both calcium carbonate and barium carbonate are commonly used industrial powders, differences in material properties, production requirements and process conditions require careful engineering consideration during system design.
Based on the customer’s production requirements, conveying distance and powder handling conditions, UPFLOW developed customized positive pressure conveying solutions to achieve stable, efficient and enclosed transportation of both materials.
The project demonstrated UPFLOW’s capability in providing customized powder conveying systems for international customers with different material handling requirements.
The customer required a reliable automated powder transportation solution for two different raw materials:
Calcium carbonate powder
Barium carbonate powder
The main objective was to replace traditional manual or mechanical transfer methods with an enclosed pneumatic conveying solution that could improve production efficiency and ensure stable material feeding.
The project requirements included:
Two separate conveying systems for different powders
Reliable long-distance powder transportation
Stable material feeding performance
Reduced dust generation
Easy integration with existing production processes
Customized equipment design according to factory layout
Because calcium carbonate and barium carbonate have different flow characteristics and handling requirements, each system required individual engineering evaluation and parameter optimization.

Calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) is one of the most widely used industrial minerals and is commonly applied in industries including plastics, coatings, rubber, construction materials and chemical processing.
During pneumatic transportation, calcium carbonate powder requires proper airflow control and conveying parameter selection to prevent unstable material flow, excessive dust generation or pipeline blockage.
A well-designed Calcium Carbonate Pneumatic Conveying System needs to consider:
Powder particle size
Bulk density
Conveying distance
Required capacity
Feeding stability

Barium carbonate (BaCO₃) is an important industrial chemical powder widely used in ceramics, specialty glass, chemical manufacturing and other applications.
Due to its specific material characteristics and industrial requirements, barium carbonate conveying systems need to focus on:
Enclosed powder transportation
Stable feeding accuracy
Dust control
Equipment reliability
For both materials, customized pneumatic conveying design is essential to achieve consistent production performance.
For industrial powder applications, selecting the appropriate conveying technology is critical because different materials may behave differently under airflow conditions.
The customer required a system capable of providing:
Continuous powder transfer
Reliable operation
Reduced manual handling
Flexible installation
Stable production supply
After evaluating the material characteristics and process requirements, UPFLOW selected positive pressure pneumatic conveying technology as the preferred solution.
Positive pressure conveying is particularly suitable for applications requiring longer conveying distances and higher transportation capacity because compressed air pushes the powder through enclosed pipelines toward the receiving point.

To meet the customer’s requirements, UPFLOW designed and supplied two independent Positive Pressure Pneumatic Conveying Systems.
The complete solutions included:
Powder feeding equipment
Positive pressure conveying units
Conveying pipelines
Receiving equipment
Control system
System integration components
Each system was customized according to the specific powder material and production requirements.
The positive pressure conveying design provided:
Stable powder transportation
Enclosed material transfer
Reduced dust emission
Flexible pipeline arrangement
Improved production automation
Although calcium carbonate and barium carbonate are both powder materials, their conveying behavior can vary depending on particle characteristics and process conditions.
UPFLOW optimized each conveying system according to the specific material requirements rather than applying a standard configuration.
The positive pressure conveying system allows powder materials to be transported efficiently over longer distances while maintaining stable operation.
Compared with open transfer methods, pneumatic conveying provides a closed transportation process that helps reduce powder leakage and improve workplace cleanliness.
Through customized engineering design, UPFLOW successfully delivered two positive pressure pneumatic conveying systems for calcium carbonate and barium carbonate powder handling.
The completed systems provided the customer with:
Reliable automated powder transportation
Stable material feeding performance
Improved production efficiency
Reduced manual handling requirements
Customized solutions for different powder materials
This project highlights UPFLOW’s experience in designing pneumatic conveying systems for multiple industrial powder applications and international customers.

UPFLOW provides customized Pneumatic Conveying Systems for industries handling various powder materials, including:
Minerals
Chemicals
Pharmaceutical powders
Food ingredients
Battery materials
Construction materials
Our engineering team evaluates each project based on:
Material characteristics
Powder flow behavior
Conveying distance
Required capacity
Production process requirements
By combining pneumatic conveying technology with customized engineering solutions, UPFLOW helps customers achieve efficient and reliable powder handling performance.
For more project cases:
A positive pressure pneumatic conveying system uses compressed air to push powder materials through pipelines from the feeding point to the receiving equipment.
Calcium carbonate is commonly handled using pneumatic conveying because it is a fine industrial powder requiring enclosed and efficient transportation.
Different powder materials usually require separate evaluation and system design because material characteristics influence conveying performance.
Yes. UPFLOW designs customized pneumatic conveying solutions according to material properties, production requirements and customer factory conditions.
