Complete set of sealed, leak-free pneumatic conveying of lithium powder in Wuhai, Inner Mongolia
A lithium battery materials company in Wuhai, Inner Mongolia, needs to transport lithium powder from the raw material silo to downstream processes during production. Due to lithium powder's characteristics such as being prone to oxidation, flammability, and high value, traditional transportation methods face issues such as dust leakage, material contamination, and safety hazards. After extensive research, the company ultimately adopted a pneumatic conveying system designed by Head Powder, achieving fully sealed, leak-free automated conveying throughout the process.
Customer pain points
The main pain points faced by this customer include: First, the lithium powder particles are extremely fine, and conventional conveying equipment lacks sufficient sealing, leading to dust leakage, which not only wastes materials but also pollutes the workshop environment; Second, lithium powder faces a risk of spontaneous combustion when exposed to water or air, requiring extremely high safety performance in the conveying system; Third, the original conveying method frequently experienced pipe blockages and wear, resulting in high maintenance costs and long downtime, which affected overall production efficiency.
Product advantages
To address these pain points, Head Powder offers customized pneumatic conveying solutions. The system uses a fully sealed pipeline design, combined with high-precision airtight valves and anti-static filtration devices, eliminating dust leakage at the source and achieving truly "low-emission" transportation. The transportation process uses inert gas protection, effectively isolating oxygen and fully eliminating the risks of lithium powder oxidation and explosion. At the same time, the system is equipped with an intelligent control module that can monitor pipeline pressure, flow rate, and material-gas ratio in real time, automatically adjust conveying parameters, and prevent pipe blockages and excessive wear. The equipment uses wear-resistant stainless steel lining, significantly extending service life and reducing maintenance frequency. After commissioning, the customer's production efficiency increased by about 30%, material loss rate dropped below 0.1%, and the workshop's airborne particulate matter concentration met national occupational health standards.
