About The Entry

The vehicle is designed for desertification control and sand prevention. It integrates dust suction, filtration, storage, filling, and sealing into a single mobile unit. Featuring a compact body structure, the vehicle is equipped with an openable hatch at the top and a concealed foldable bag hanging device at the rear. This design reduces exposed components and space occupation, minimizing the bulky appearance typical of traditional heavy machinery. Inspired by the structure of a telescopic straw, the bag hanging mechanism deploys and retracts through a push and pull linkage, allowing mechanical movements to integrate naturally with the vehicle shape.

Unlike traditional excavation or open collection methods, the equipment utilizes a vacuum pump to generate negative pressure suction. A precision filtration device is positioned at the inlet of the pump to block sand particles and discharge filtered air. This keeps the sand inside the equipment while reducing wear on core components like the pump. After installing the nylon bag, the operator only needs a single push and pull action to deploy the bag hanging mechanism and align it precisely with the discharge pipe. The equipment then continuously fills and seals the bags, reducing manual handling and repetitive operations.

The annular infrared heat sealing device, combined with AI temperature control technology, utilizes the thermoplastic properties of nylon to seal bag openings rapidly. This replaces manual sewing and rope tying associated with traditional gunny sacks or standard woven bags. Closed collection and instant heat sealing minimize dust dispersion, sand leakage, and material loss. This improves the efficiency of continuous filling and packaging while enhancing working conditions in high dust environments. Workers shift from heavy physical labor to equipment control and monitoring, making the system better suited for sustained operations in desert environments.
