Lime Handling System
Shalimar Engineering delivers industrial-grade pneumatic lime handling systems for lime transfer, storage, and feeding across manufacturing plants. Our lime conveying systems handle hydrated lime, quicklime, and lime powder through enclosed pressure and vacuum configurations ensuring dust-controlled operation for plants in India, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait, Bahrain, Iraq, Iran, and South Africa.
Industrial Lime Handling System Product Overview
The lime handling system provides complete material transfer solutions for cement, steel, power, and water treatment plants requiring consistent lime feeding and storage. Our industrial lime handling equipment employs pneumatic conveying moving lime powder through enclosed pipelines without manual intervention.
The system handles dense phase lime conveying for shorter distances and dilute phase lime conveying for long-distance applications. Automated PLC controls ensure precise feeding while integrated dust collection systems maintain environmental compliance.

How the Lime Handling System Works
The lime transfer system operates through integrated stages: lime stored in sealed silos, controlled discharge through rotary airlock valves or screw conveyors, pneumatic conveying via compressed air or vacuum, material separation at receiver using cyclone separators, and dust filtration through pulse jet collectors. This enclosed process eliminates manual handling while ensuring consistent material quality and zero-emission operation.

Key Components of the System
Storage Silo – Heavy-duty steel construction with conical bottom, moisture-proof design, and level indicators.
Feeding Device – Rotary airlock valves or screw feeders providing controlled discharge without air leakage.
Air Blower – Centrifugal blowers for dilute phase or compressed air for dense phase conveying.
Conveying Pipeline – Abrasion-resistant steel piping with smooth bends minimizing pressure drop.
Receiver & Separation – Cyclone separators or filter receivers extracting lime from conveying air efficiently.
Dust Collection – Integrated bag filters capturing fine particles and maintaining air quality standards.
Control Panel – PLC-based automation managing feed rates, pressure, and system interlocks for continuous operation.

FAQs
A: A Lime Handling System is an industrial setup used for storing, conveying, and feeding lime in a safe and dust-free manner. It automates the transfer of hydrated lime or quicklime using pneumatic conveying to ensure continuous and controlled plant operations.
A: A Lime Handling System works by storing lime in silos and transferring it through pipelines using compressed air or vacuum pressure. The material is separated at the receiver and filtered to maintain a clean, enclosed, and emission-free process.
A: Lime Handling Systems are widely used in cement plants, steel industries, power plants, and water treatment facilities. These industries require accurate lime feeding for processes like desulfurization, pH control, and emission treatment.
A: Dense phase conveying moves lime at low velocity and high pressure, making it suitable for shorter distances with minimal material degradation. Dilute phase conveying uses higher air velocity for long-distance transfer and higher throughput applications.
A: A typical Lime Handling System includes a storage silo, feeding device, pneumatic pipeline, blower or compressor, dust collector, and PLC control panel. These components work together to ensure efficient, automated, and dust-controlled lime transfer.
A: Before installation, factors like conveying capacity, distance, type of lime, automation level, and plant layout must be evaluated. Selecting the right configuration improves efficiency, reduces downtime, and ensures long-term operational reliability.
