The middle and coarse fractions were recovered directly as products, while the fine fractions were reprocessed at an 85% yield, minimizing waste and maximizing product quality. This achievement is a game-changer for industries requiring tight particle size control, particularly in the rapidly growing battery materials industry and energy storage sector.
Why This Matters: Graphite is a crucial material in battery manufacturing, and its performance relies heavily on achieving consistent particle sizes. With the Elbow-Jet Air Classifier, Elcan Industries has pushed the boundaries of what is possible in material processing, ensuring that companies in the energy storage sector can meet their stringent quality demands.
“Achieving the separation of graphite particles below 5 microns while maintaining a 96% recovery rate of good product reflects the years of expertise, we’ve built at Elcan. Our separation technology has been and continues to be pivotal in advancing the performance of energy storage materials. By consistently pushing the limits of precision and efficiency, we’re helping to drive higher-performing end-use applications for clean energy solutions in the battery industry and energy storage sector.” said Jason Risolo, Lead Quality Engineer at Elcan Industries.
What’s Next for Elcan Industries: Elcan Industries continues to innovate in advanced particle separations, enhancing material performance for industries such as energy storage, powdered metals, aerospace and additive manufacturing. The Elbow-Jet Air Classifier has played a vital role in helping manufacturers refine their materials to meet the highest standards of quality and efficiency.
