Screening, Weighing & Metered Feeding for Ternary Battery Materials

Challenge

Manual transfer of cobalt and ternary powders caused dust, inconsistent feed rates and poor batch traceability between screening and downstream reactors.

Solution

CYprocess supplied an enclosed line: screening → automatic feeder → weigh metering → controlled discharge into process, with sealed interfaces and recipe setpoints.

Results

Stable metered feed into downstream process
Reduced open handling of fine battery powders
Repeatable weigh accuracy for each batch
Cleaner intake and feeding area

Project Details

Project background

A ternary materials plant needed consistent powder feed after screening. Operators previously adjusted feed by experience, which created dust and batch-to-batch variation for cobalt-bearing and NCM materials.

Battery materials industry — Battery cathode materials require enclosed, accurate feeding

Process design

After screening, an automatic feeder loads a weigh hopper. The control system runs high / medium / low / pulse stages to the setpoint, then meters product to the next step. All transfer points are enclosed with local dust extraction.

Weighing system — Gain-in-weight stages deliver accurate battery powder batches

Results

The line now delivers documented weigh cycles with less operator exposure. The same architecture can expand to multi-ingredient recipes as capacity grows.
