Gericke Installs Pneumatic Conveying Systems for Lithium-Ion Battery Production

Pneumatic Conveying
16 May 2025  |
Process equipment manufacturer Gericke, recently celebrated the installation, commissioning, and startup of pneumatic conveying systems for a major rechargeable battery manufacturer. Featuring the company's Pulse-Flow(TM) PTA pneumatic conveyors, the conveying systems automatically transfer cathode materials from storage to mixers within a sealed system. This protects the sensitive EV battery materials from potential moisture exposure and safeguards workers from contact with toxic materials while ensuring the end product meets demanding quality targets.

Operating in dense phase, the pneumatic conveying systems are designed to safely and gently transfer a wide range of bulk powders at low velocities such as NMC, and others used in lithium-ion battery manufacturing. A proprietary coating applied throughout the conveyor interior provides extra wear resistance for smooth transfer of the abrasive materials without concern for product contamination due to metallic wear.

Gericke also designs and manufactures feeders, mixers, bulk bag unloaders, and other companion equipment proven suitable for battery manufacturing. Material and equipment testing are offered in the company’s test laboratories.
