Lithium battery pneumatic conveying
The pneumatic conveying system adopts a fully enclosed pipeline for material conveying, effectively avoiding the dust generated by the positive and negative electrodes of lithium batteries and other powder materials during the conveying process, thus creating a dust-free production environment. This is not only beneficial for protecting the health of production workers, but also reduces environmental pollution and improves the overall cleanliness of the production workshop.
The pneumatic conveying system can achieve continuous and efficient transportation of materials, with fast conveying speed and long distance, greatly improving production efficiency. At the same time, pneumatic conveying can be combined with automated control systems to achieve intelligent management of production lines and further improve production efficiency.
The pneumatic conveying system reduces the manual handling of materials, lowers the labor intensity of workers, and thus reduces the number of workers and labor costs. In addition, automated control systems can reduce production errors caused by human factors and improve production stability.
The pneumatic conveying system can accurately control the conveying volume and speed of materials, avoiding waste and pollution during the conveying process. At the same time, combined with the automatic batching system, precise measurement and mixing of materials can be achieved, thereby improving the quality and consistency of products.
The pneumatic conveying system uses gas as the power source, which can reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions compared to traditional mechanical conveying methods. At the same time, due to the reduction of dust pollution and material waste, it also conforms to the environmental protection concept of modern enterprises.
During the pneumatic conveying process, due to the conveying characteristics, powder materials such as the positive and negative electrodes of lithium batteries are prone to delamination, resulting in low-speed conveying of large particles and high-speed conveying of small particles. This will affect the consistency of the material, thereby affecting the performance and quality of the battery.
The metal content of negative electrode materials for lithium batteries is one of the important indicators for evaluating their quality. However, in the process of pneumatic conveying, the friction and collision of materials may lead to the mixing of metal impurities, thereby affecting the metal content of the material.
Due to the conductivity of lithium battery negative electrode materials, there are high requirements for electrical control equipment and electrical control cabinets. It is necessary to ensure that the equipment has good insulation performance and protection level to prevent electrical faults and safety accidents from occurring.
Most negative electrode materials for lithium batteries are micron sized powder materials with small particle size and light weight, making gas-solid separation difficult. The design and operation requirements for cyclone separation dust collectors and other equipment are very high to ensure effective separation and recovery of materials.
In pneumatic conveying systems, if the material conveying is not smooth or the pipeline design is unreasonable, it may lead to material blockage problems. This will not only affect the normal operation of the production line, but also cause material waste and equipment damage. Therefore, effective measures need to be taken to prevent and solve the problem of material blockage.
In summary, pneumatic conveying has significant application advantages in the lithium battery industry, but there are also some technical difficulties that need to be overcome. With the continuous advancement of technology and the continuous improvement of equipment, it is believed that the application of pneumatic conveying in the lithium battery industry will become more extensive and in-depth.

It is equipped with dual bin pump interlocking and end cyclone+bag separation. The entire process is sealed to isolate air and moisture, avoiding oxidation and moisture absorption, while controlling particle damage to ensure batch consistency and cycle life of battery cells.
The lithium iron phosphate production line adopts positive pressure dilute phase pneumatic conveying to transport the precursor from the synthesis section to the calcination feed bin. The pipelines and components are made of high-purity stainless steel and undergo demagnetization and anti-static treatment. The system realizes continuous feeding, eliminates the introduction of metal impurities, solves the problems of dust and cross pollution caused by manual transportation, and improves the yield rate of the production line.
The artificial graphite negative electrode production line adopts a combination of positive and negative pressure pneumatic conveying: negative pressure is responsible for the dust-free collection and short distance transportation of crushed powder, while positive pressure is responsible for long-distance transportation across workshops to the homogenization bin. The entire process is sealed and equipped with a ground dust removal system to completely solve the problem of dust escape, while meeting the needs of multi section scheduling and continuous production.
