Client Pain Points

Lithium hydroxide powder is a high-value, moisture-sensitive material critical for battery manufacturing and other industries. Clients often face significant challenges in conveying this powder: dust generation during transport leads to material loss and safety hazards; moisture absorption causes clumping, degradation, and quality inconsistencies; manual handling or inefficient systems increase operational downtime and labor costs; and the fine, cohesive nature of the powder frequently results in blockages, bridging, and uneven flow in standard conveying equipment.

Material Characteristics

Lithium hydroxide powder exhibits fine particle size (typically D50 of 10–50 microns), low bulk density (0.3–0.6 g/cm³), high hygroscopicity, and strong alkalinity. It is abrasive, cohesive, and prone to electrostatic charging. These properties demand a pneumatic conveying solution that minimizes moisture exposure, prevents dust leakage, maintains consistent flow, and withstands chemical corrosion.

Product Introduction

Headpowder offers a customized pneumatic conveying solution specifically engineered for lithium hydroxide powder. Our systems are designed as enclosed, vacuum or pressure-driven lines that transport powder from storage to mixing, dosing, or packaging points with controlled air velocity, filtration, and dehumidification. Each system is tailored to site layout, throughput requirements (from 500 kg/h to 10 t/h), and existing process integration. Key components include wear-resistant piping, corrosion-proof receiver hoppers, high-efficiency cartridge filters, and rotary airlocks with moisture seals.

Product Advantages

To address client pain points, our solution delivers: (1) complete enclosure with negative-pressure or positive-pressure design to eliminate dust emission and protect operator health; (2) integrated dehumidification and nitrogen purge options to prevent moisture absorption and caking; (3) automated control with PLC-driven pressure and flow monitoring to ensure consistent, blockage-free conveying; (4) modular, easy-to-clean construction with CIP-ready surfaces for rapid product changeovers; and (5) durability through stainless steel or specialty alloy contact parts to resist alkaline corrosion.
