In Zhongwei, Ningxia, a lithium battery materials company has invested in building a fully automatic pneumatic conveying project for lithium battery powder. The company focuses on large-scale production of lithium battery cathode and anode materials, setting strict requirements for the cleanliness, efficiency, and automation level of powder transportation. As a supplier of pneumatic conveying system solutions, Head Powder undertook the overall design and implementation of this project.

Customer pain points

Before the project was implemented, the client faced multiple challenges: traditional mechanical conveying methods caused dust leakage, which not only polluted the workshop environment but also caused material loss; There are many manual operation steps, relying on experience adjustment, which leads to unstable conveying efficiency; When switching between multiple powder varieties, pipeline cleaning is cumbersome and prone to cross-contamination; Additionally, the limited space in the production area requires high precision in equipment layout and installation.

Product advantages and solutions

To address these pain points, Head Powder has upgraded its fully automatic pneumatic conveying system. The system uses compressed air as its power source and achieves full automation of the powder process from feeding, conveying, metering to storage through sealed pipelines. Its main features include:

• Sealed dust-free conveying:The system operates in a sealed seal throughout, eliminating dust leakage, meeting workshop environment standards, and reducing material loss to within 0.1%.
• Intelligent Control:Integrated PLC and host computer control system can monitor parameters such as pressure, flow, and material level in real time, automatically adjust conveying speed, and support remote monitoring and fault diagnosis.
• Flexible switching:With valve assembly and flow channel design, switching between different powder types can be completed within minutes, eliminating the need for complicated cleaning and eliminating cross-contamination.
• Compact layout:The conveying pipeline and equipment adopt modular combinations, flexibly adapting to existing factory space, saving floor space, and shortening installation cycles by 30%.

After the project was implemented, the powder conveying efficiency of the customer's production line increased by more than 40%, workshop dust concentrations dropped below environmental standards, labor costs decreased by 60%, and overall operational efficiency improved.
