Spray dryers for lithium iron phosphate powder production
In the automotive industry, transitioning to electric vehicles requires reliable production of lithium-iron phosphate (LFP) batteries. Producing these batteries demands exceptionally fine lithium powder to ensure fast charging and high-capacity energy storage.
Create fine lithium powders with spray drying technology
The spray dryers from Dedert are designed for the production of lithium iron phosphate powders used in electric vehicle batteries. These dryers employ advanced atomizing technologies to generate fine lithium particles, typically within the range of 5-10 microns. The key technologies include the Air Bearing Atomizer (ABA) and the Air Assisted Pressure Nozzle (AAPN), both of which specialize in creating small particle sizes necessary for high energy density. The ABA, being oil-free and contact-free, uses instrument air for atomization. On the other hand, the AAPN, a dual fluid pressure nozzle developed by Dedert, delivers exceptionally fine atomization, catering to high-capacity production needs. Energy efficiency is a priority, with strategies like waste heat recovery and integration of flue gases from other parts of the process to reduce energy consumption. This makes Dedert’s spray dryers a versatile choice for lithium-based battery production.
