Lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) powder is a key cathode material for lithium-ion batteries. Its handling requires careful engineering because the powder is fine, slightly abrasive, and must stay contaminant-free. Pneumatic conveying provides a closed, reliable, and efficient way to move LiFePO4 powder from storage silos, mixers, mills, and classifiers to packing or processing lines. A well-designed system prevents dust emission, reduces manual work, and protects product quality through the entire transfer process.

We specialize in customized LiFePO4 powder pneumatic conveying solutions. We design and manufacture complete conveying systems, including dilute-phase and dense-phase pneumatic conveying, vacuum conveying, pressure conveying, and combined systems. Each system is matched to particle size, bulk density, moisture content, flowability, and abrasiveness. Conveying distance, elevation change, throughput, and site layout are also considered to ensure stable and economical operation.

Key equipment includes a feed hopper, rotary airlock, screw conveyor, pressure vessel, roots blower, air compressor, filter receiver, dust collector, pipe network, and automated control panel. Dense-phase conveying uses high-pressure air to push material slugs at low velocity, reducing particle breakage and pipe wear. Dilute-phase conveying uses high-velocity air to carry powder through the pipeline at high capacity for short or medium distances. Our engineers select the best mode for your production needs.

LiFePO4 powder has unique characteristics that require special attention. Irregular and sharp particles can erode conventional pipe bends, so we use wear-resistant ceramic bends, high-hardness alloy elbows, and large-radius bends. To minimize dust, all connections are sealed and a pulse-jet filter is installed at discharge points. The system can also be designed with nitrogen supply for oxygen-free conveying, greatly improving safety for sensitive battery materials.

Our pneumatic conveying system brings many benefits. It creates a dust-free environment, protecting operators and meeting environmental regulations. It enables fully automated operation with start-up, pressure monitoring, filter cleaning, and alarm management. It saves floor space by routing pipes overhead or through walls. It also reduces product loss and cross-contamination because material remains inside a closed pipe from inlet to outlet.

Every system is custom engineered. Capacities range from 50 kg/h pilot units to over 20,000 kg/h production lines, with conveying distances from 5 m to more than 200 m. We provide explosion-proof electrical components, antistatic filters, grounding relays, pressure relief ports, and inert gas control where required. Equipment can be carbon steel with food-grade coating, stainless steel, or special surface treatment to meet your battery manufacturing standards.

Our experience covers many battery material plants. Typical applications include feeding LiFePO4 powder to mixers, ball mills, jet mills, sifters, packing machines, and storage silos. We integrate batching and weighing functions to improve recipe accuracy. Advanced PLC and HMI controls let operators monitor material flow, air pressure, filter status, and equipment faults in real time. Our software can connect to MES or ERP systems for smart factory management and batch traceability.

We provide more than equipment; we provide a complete solution. Our team handles material testing, process design, layout drawings, manufacturing, installation, commissioning, operator training, and long-term maintenance.
