Guangxi Baise Lithium Ore Powder Closed Conveying Project

Project Background

In the Guangxi Baise region, a lithium ore processing facility faced significant challenges in transporting powdered materials between production stages. The open conveying methods previously used led to severe dust emissions, material loss, and occupational health concerns. The facility required a reliable, enclosed solution to maintain product quality and comply with environmental regulations.

Customer Challenges

The client’s primary pain points included uncontrollable dust dispersion during transfer, which not only wasted valuable lithium ore powder but also created hazardous working conditions. Frequent equipment clogging and wear from abrasive particles resulted in high maintenance costs and unplanned downtime. Additionally, the open system could not guarantee the moisture content stability required for downstream processes, affecting final product consistency.

Headpowder Solution

Headpowder designed and implemented a closed pneumatic conveying system tailored for lithium ore powder. The system utilizes a fully sealed pipeline with controlled airflow, ensuring zero dust leakage and minimal material degradation. Key components include wear-resistant bends, automated pressure monitoring, and a centralized control interface that adjusts conveying speed based on real-time load conditions. This approach not only eliminated environmental pollution but also reduced material loss by over 95% compared to the previous method.

Key Advantages

The closed conveying solution provides several operational benefits. It maintains consistent powder flow without clogging, even for fine, cohesive lithium ore particles. The sealed design prevents moisture ingress, keeping the powder within specified moisture limits. Maintenance intervals have been extended significantly due to the use of hardened alloy pipes and replaceable wear liners. Furthermore, the system’s modular layout allows for easy integration with existing equipment and future capacity expansion.
