Battery Manufacturing

LCI Corporation offers customized solutions and process expertise to solve your most difficult battery manufacturing process problems. LCI has specialty feeding solutions to precisely feed the difficult to handle battery powders to create batteries for Electric Vehicles.

LCI Corporation offers customized solutions and process expertise for the difficult feeding challenges faced in the manufacturing of electric vehicle batteries.

Our Circle Feeder technology has the unique ability to precisely feed the difficult to handle high-value materials used in the manufacturing of electric vehicle batteries.

Electric Vehicle Batteries (EVBs) such as lithium ion batteries, utilize the chemistry of various high-value powders to create the power cells. The physical properties of these powders result in poor material flow when dispensed with traditional hopper and feeders. Bridging and ratholing prevents accurate and efficient feeding of these important battery materials.

The Circle Feeder provides high accuracy and uniform-rate feeding for materials such as:

  • Cobalt
  • Nickel
  • Manganese
  • Iron Phosphate
  • Graphite
  • Lithium Titanate

Why Battery Manufacturers Choose the Circle Feeder

  • Prevent bridging and ratholing
  • Prevent segregation with mass flow
  • Flow splitting increases capacity and saves floor space
  • Lower the total height requirement
  • High batch accuracy with difficult-to- handle material
  • Able to work with a variety of material with flow adjusting mechanism

The Circle Feeder is utilized in all stages of the battery supply chain including raw material feeding (mining), mixing, calcination, and recycling.
