Liaoning Jinzhou lithium battery anode graphite powder wear-resistant pipeline transportation case
In the production of lithium battery anode materials, pneumatic conveying of graphite powder has always been a technical challenge. Issues such as strong material wear, easily worn pipelines, and unstable conveying efficiency trouble many manufacturers. A lithium battery materials company located in Jinzhou, Liaoning, previously used traditional transportation methods, which frequently experienced pipeline wear, blockages, and dust leakage, which not only increased maintenance costs but also affected production continuity. After extensive investigation and comparison, the company ultimately adopted the wear-resistant pipeline pneumatic conveying system customized for its company, Head Powder, successfully solving these problems.
Case Summary
This client is a lithium battery anode material manufacturer in Jinzhou, Liaoning, mainly involved in the transfer and feeding of graphite powder. During production, graphite powder is characterized by high hardness and high abrasion, and its fine particle size makes it prone to dust generation, which places strict demands on the sealing and wear resistance of the conveying system. The company's original conveying solution could not meet the demands of continuous operation, and there was an urgent need for a reliable pneumatic conveying system.
Customer pain points
Customers face the following prominent issues in actual production: 1. Graphite powder causes severe wear on the inner walls of pipelines. Ordinary carbon steel pipes experience perforation and material leakage within less than two months of use, with frequent replacement and long downtime; Second, powder accumulation and blockage at elbows cause conveying pressure fluctuations, affecting the feeding stability of downstream processes; Third, insufficient system sealing leads to dust on site, which not only leads to raw material waste but also fails to meet environmental protection requirements; Fourth, the energy consumption of existing equipment is high, and operating costs remain high.
Product advantages
To address these pain points, Head Powder offers a comprehensive solution: using high-wear-resistant alloy-lined pipes to significantly extend their service life, with measured wear rates reduced to less than one-tenth of those of traditional pipes; Optimized elbow curvature radius and runner design to ensure smooth material flow and eliminate blockages; The system is fully sealed, combined with negative or positive pressure sealed conveying to achieve dust-free operation; Utilizes highly efficient and energy-saving Roots fans and intelligent control systems, automatically adjusting air volume based on actual conveying volume, reducing overall energy consumption by about 20%. In addition, the entire system is specially adapted to the special physical properties of lithium battery anode graphite powder, with anti-static and explosion-proof treatments applied from the feeding device to the separation and dust removal stages, helping to enhance production safety. After project implementation, the client reported smooth equipment operation, extended maintenance cycles from two months to over two years, significantly improved on-site environments, and effectively controlled overall operating costs.
