1.The bottleneck problem of pipeline system efficiency is highlighted.

In the production and operation of the metallurgical industry, a metallurgical plant is facing the bottleneck problem of pipeline system efficiency, which has a significant impact on the production stability and economic benefits of the enterprise. For a long time, the factory in the material unloading process using domestic commonly used lining wear-resistant corrugated hose, the pipeline system is responsible for 24 hours of continuous operation of the high strength production tasks. However, the actual working conditions show that the service life of such corrugated hoses is significantly insufficient. Under normal production load, the average service cycle is less than one week, which has become a key factor restricting the improvement of production efficiency.

2.Corrugated hose technology defect analysis

Through in-depth analysis of the performance of the corrugated hose in practical applications, it can be found that there are many technical defects. First, the wear resistance is seriously insufficient. In the process of transporting materials, due to the continuous erosion of particulate materials, the wear rate of the inner wall of the pipeline is extremely high, resulting in an effective service life of only 2-3 days under normal conditions, which is difficult to meet the reliability requirements of continuous production. Secondly, frequent pipeline replacement brings high operation and maintenance costs. It not only needs to invest a lot of manpower for disassembly and installation, but also increases the consumption of manual working hours. Moreover, the production interruption caused by material loss and equipment shutdown has a negative impact on the orderly advancement of production plans. Third, there is a big hidden danger of safety and environmental protection. Excessive wear of pipelines may lead to material leakage accidents, which will not only pollute the surrounding production environment, but also endanger the personal safety of field operators, which does not meet the requirements of modern industrial safety production.

3.Enterprises urgently need to reduce costs and increase efficiency.

With the expansion of production scale and the intensification of market competition, the operation and maintenance cost and shutdown loss of pipeline system are increasing year by year, which brings great economic burden to enterprises. In this regard, the enterprise management attaches great importance to it, and clearly requires the technical department to carry out technical research quickly to solve the above problems and enhance the core competitiveness of the enterprise.

4.Professional technical team involved in research

In this context, Sitomat Company has become a partner of the metallurgical plant with its professional and technical advantages and rich industry experience in the field of industrial pipelines. Sitomat adheres to the customer demand-oriented, through in-depth communication with the technical team of the metallurgical plant and detailed investigation of the working conditions, the key technical parameters such as the operating parameters, material characteristics and installation environment of the pipeline system are comprehensively connected, which lays a solid foundation for the formulation of targeted solutions.

5.Development and implementation of systemic solutions

Based on the accurate diagnosis of the problem, Sitomat proposed a systematic solution. First, the Sitomat brand ceramic rubber hose is used to replace the original corrugated hose. As a kind of wear-resistant ceramic pipe, the main material of the ceramic rubber hose is composed of high hardness wear-resistant ceramic particles and elastic rubber matrix, which has both the high wear resistance of ceramic materials and the impact toughness of rubber materials. It has been verified by laboratory tests and industrial applications that its wear resistance is significantly improved compared with traditional corrugated hoses, which can effectively resist the erosion and wear of material particles. At the same time, the elastic buffering effect of rubber matrix can reduce the damage of material impact on the pipeline, thus prolonging the service life of the pipeline and reducing the replacement frequency. Secondly, the pipeline connection mode is optimized. By adopting flexible connection structure and flow channel optimization technology, the turbulence and impact phenomenon in the process of material transportation are reduced, the material flow is more stable, and the mechanical stress and wear rate of the pipeline system are further reduced. In addition, Sitomat provides a full range of technical support services, including early pipeline selection consulting, installation scheme design, and later on-site commissioning, operator training and regular maintenance to help the stable operation of the pipeline system.

6.Prospects of program implementation

In summary, Sitomat ‘s solution has formed a complete technical system for the key issues of the metallurgical plant pipeline system, from material selection, structural optimization to service guarantee. Through the implementation of this scheme, it is expected to effectively improve the reliability and service life of the pipeline system, reduce the operation and maintenance cost and production downtime, and provide strong support for enterprises to improve production efficiency and enhance market competitiveness. With the professional support of Sitomat, the metallurgical plant is expected to break through the technical bottleneck of the pipeline system and achieve efficient and sustainable development of production operations.
