Guangxi Liuzhou Lithium Filler Pneumatic Conveying Case

A lithium battery material manufacturer in Guangxi Liuzhou faced critical challenges in transferring lithium filler materials, including lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide. The existing mechanical conveying equipment caused frequent blockages, high dust emissions, and excessive equipment wear, resulting in costly downtime and safety risks. To address these issues, headpowder provided a tailored pneumatic conveying solution designed for fine, abrasive, and moisture-sensitive powders.

Case Overview

A leading lithium battery material producer in Liuzhou, Guangxi, required a reliable conveying system for lithium filler materials. The client's production environment involved high-purity powders that demanded dust-free, low-contamination handling. Prior methods led to product degradation, environmental compliance issues, and frequent maintenance interruptions.

Customer Pain Points

The client reported several operational difficulties:
- Severe dust leakage during conveying, creating health hazards and requiring frequent cleaning.
- Pipeline blockages caused by material adhesion, reducing throughput by up to 30%.
- High wear on mechanical parts, leading to replacement costs every 45 days.
- Inability to integrate with existing automated batching systems due to inconsistent flow.
- Safety concerns with fine lithium powders prone to static buildup and combustion.

Solution Highlights

headpowder implemented a dense-phase pneumatic conveying system with the following key elements:
- Enclosed pipeline design to eliminate dust escape and ensure material purity.
- Use of anti-static and wear-resistant materials to extend equipment lifespan.
- Variable-speed air supply controlled by a PLC system, achieving stable material-to-air ratio.
- Incorporation of pressure sensors and flow meters to monitor blockages in real time.
- Modular layout allowing future expansion without major system redesign.

Application Benefits

After deploying the headpowder system, the client observed:
- Dust emission reduced to near zero, meeting strict environmental standards.
- Downtime decreased by 60% due to intelligent alarm and self-cleaning features.
- Energy consumption per ton of material lowered by 25% compared to previous pneumatic systems.
- System payback period within 14 months through reduced maintenance and improved yield.
