Case study of sealed automatic feeding of lithium battery powder in Ma'anshan, Anhui
In the production process of lithium battery materials, the sealing and automation level of powder conveying directly affect product quality and the workshop environment. A lithium battery company (located in Ma'anshan, Anhui) faced numerous challenges in the cathode powder feeding and transportation process. Head Powder customized a sealed automatic pneumatic feeding and conveying system for it, improving production difficulties.
Customer pain points
The company's original powder feeding method involved manual unpacking and dumping, which had the following prominent issues:
- Powder dust is severe, polluting the workshop environment and posing a threat to operators' health;
- Low efficiency in manual feeding, unable to meet capacity increase needs;
- Powders are prone to moisture and mixed with impurities, affecting the purity and consistency of battery materials;
- There is a lack of automated control during production, making data traceability difficult.
Product advantages and solutions
To address these pain points, Head Powder has provided a sealed automatic pneumatic feeding and conveying system:
- Fully enclosed pipeline conveying to prevent dust leakage and achieve dust-free operation;
- The automatic unpacking machine is linked with the pneumatic conveying device, requiring no manual intervention, increasing feeding efficiency by over 60%;
- The system is equipped with nitrogen protection and dehumidification functions to prevent lithium battery powder from absorbing moisture and deteriorating;
- PLC intelligent control monitors conveying pressure, flow, and material level in real time, helping ensure stable and traceable production.
This solution has been successfully implemented at the Ma'anshan plant, helping the company achieve clean, efficient, and automated lithium battery powder feeding and conveying goals, laying the foundation for future capacity expansion.
