In the Liupanshui area of Guizhou, a large lithium battery materials manufacturer faces the challenge of long-distance transportation of raw materials (such as lithium carbonate, lithium hydroxide powders, etc.). The company's original transportation method was mainly bulk vehicle loading, which faced issues such as dust emissions, high material loss, significant weather impact, and continuously rising labor costs. After extensive evaluation, the long-distance sealed pipeline pneumatic conveying system provided by Head Powder was finally adopted, achieving automated and clean transportation from the raw material warehouse to the production workshop.

Customer pain points

1.Environmental protection and occupational health stress: Lithium battery raw materials are mostly fine powders. The traditional open loading and transfer processes generate large amounts of dust, which not only pollute the factory environment but also pose potential respiratory hazards to operators. 2.Material loss is severe: Conventional transportation methods can result in material loss rates as high as 3%~5% due to spillage, residues, moisture, etc., directly increasing production costs. 3.Transportation efficiency is low: Frequent vehicle entry and exit, long waiting times for loading and unloading, and external factors such as rainy season and road conditions prevent continuous and stable feeding. 4.Low level of automation: There are many manual operation steps, and data cannot be collected in real time, which is not conducive to the overall digital upgrade of the factory.

Head Powder Solutions and Product Advantages

Head Powder has customized an overall plan for the long-distance pipeline pipeline transportation project of lithium battery raw materials in Liupanshui, Guizhou, to address these pain points. The main features are as follows:

• Fully enclosed pipeline transportation: The entire process from receiving to discharge is enclosed, equipped with high-efficiency dust collectors to achieve dust-free operation, meeting strict environmental protection requirements while preventing moisture and contamination of materials.
• Low energy consumption, high stability: By using optimized fluidization technology and segmented boosting design, while supporting conveying distances (over 1.5 km per line), energy consumption is reduced by more than 20% compared to traditional pneumatic conveying, resulting in a low system failure rate.
• Intelligent centralized control: Integrated PLC and host computer monitoring system, capable of displaying parameters such as conveying pressure, flow, and material level in real time, supporting remote start/stop, fault diagnosis, and historical data traceability, assisting intelligent factory management.
• Modularity and adaptability: Flexible pipeline layout and can be adjusted according to the plant's terrain and process requirements; The system supports the alternating transfer of various lithium battery raw materials (such as lithium carbonate, lithium hydroxide, lithium iron phosphate, etc.), with easy switching.

After the project was put into operation, the company's material loss dropped below 0.5%, dust emission concentrations were below national standards, saving over one million yuan in transportation and labor costs annually, while also reserving interfaces for future capacity expansion. Head Powder further extends system service life through independently developed wear-resistant elbows and sealed rotary feeders, facilitating long-term normal operation.
