What is a Bulk Powder Tanker?

Powder Tank Trucks are designed for bulk transport and pneumatic unloading of dry powder materials like fly ash, cement, lime powder, and other non-flammable, non-explosive, non-toxic, and non-corrosive powders with particle sizes up to 0.1mm. These trucks are widely utilized across industries such as agriculture, commerce, power generation, and construction, making them essential for efficiently handling large volumes of fine powder materials.

What is the structure of a powder tanker trailer?

The powder tank truck is built with a few key parts, like the tank body, power system (which can be a diesel engine or a power take-off unit with an air compressor), air circuit system, brake system, and some other essential components.

Tank Body: The tank body has a practical design with two sloped cones connected to the front and rear ends, all mounted on the truck frame. This part serves as the main load carrier. To make access easier, the tank includes a feed port (or manhole), a non-slip platform, and a ladder so loading and maintenance workers can get in and out easily. Inside the tank, you’ll find a slide plate, an air chamber, and a fluidized bed with a porous plate or special canvas to help with unloading. It also has a discharge port and reinforcement ribs for added stability. The tank body can come in different shapes—V-shaped, W-shaped, or a simpler, straight design—to handle various loading needs.

What is the working principle of the powder tanker ?

The vehicle-mounted air compressor is powered by either its own engine or the main engine of the truck, using a power take-off drive shaft or pulley. Compressed air is sent through a pipeline into the tank’s air chamber, which makes the powder and granular materials on the fluidized bed lift and move into a fluid-like state. Once the pressure inside the tank reaches the right level, the unloading butterfly valve is opened, and the materials flow smoothly out through the unloading system.

Why Choose Starway Bulk Cement Powder Tankers ?

Our sealed transportation tankers are built to be clean, efficient, and cost-effective. The sealed design keeps cargo safely contained, reducing the risk of spills and helping protect the environment. This setup means shorter transport times and high efficiency at a lower cost.

We use advanced 3D design software to optimize the tank’s structure for better reliability and performance. For lighter models, we use high-strength steel, which boosts durability while keeping the vehicle’s weight down. The tank is welded using fully automatic techniques for both longitudinal and circumferential welds, creating solid, clean seams that add to the tank’s strength and look.

To make the tankers even more durable, each one is shot-blasted to strengthen the body and improve paint adhesion, helping to prevent rust and peeling paint. We also equip them with high-quality parts from trusted brands, so you get tankers that are lightweight, reliable, and easy to operate. With these features, we’re proud to provide a transportation solution that’s high-quality, efficient, and environmentally friendly.
