Chemical Process Systems

Project Description

We were task to provide an automatic cathode process system, so that the customer can support multiple alkaline battery production lines.

One of the keys to such a system is the compaction and granulating system. Our system utilizes a 30Hp high torque drive, this allows us to apply up to 248,000 lbs of radial force to both compactor rolls. This in combination with a precise metering, blending systems results in a very consistent and high-performance cathode mix. Some of the advantages are outlines below,

• The system offers a high throughput rate in a very compact arrangement to produce highly compacted and granulated powder with consistent particle size distribution.
• The system is fully programmable and features low maintenance and ease of servicing.
• Advanced system controls including menus for programming the required batch quantities of the powder (& liquid) components, the process parameters and the readout for all operating parameters.
• It is a fully automated and integrated system for producing high quality granulated Cathode powder (using manganese dioxide powders, graphite & KOH electrolyte) with a throughput of 800-1000 kg hour.
