Guangdong Foshan Lithium Auto-Feeding Pneumatic Conveying Project

Project Overview

Headpowder successfully delivered a fully automated lithium material pneumatic conveying system for a battery-grade production facility in Foshan, Guangdong. This project integrates closed-loop material handling from storage hoppers to mixing stations, ensuring consistent feed rates and minimal product degradation.

Customer Challenges

The client faced significant operational issues: manual material loading led to inconsistent dosing, airborne dust compromised workshop cleanliness, and frequent line blockages increased downtime. Additionally, manual handling posed safety risks for operators working with fine lithium powders.

Our Solution

Headpowder implemented a customized negative-pressure pneumatic conveying line with real-time flow monitoring and automated filter cleaning. The system uses a centralized control unit to adjust suction pressure based on material characteristics, reducing dust emissions by over 90% while maintaining throughput at 5 tons per hour. The closed-loop design also recovers residual material from filters, cutting waste by 15%.

Key Outcomes

After commissioning, the client reported a 40% increase in production efficiency, zero dust leak incidents, and a 60% reduction in manual labor for material transfer. The system's modular design allows easy expansion for future capacity upgrades.
