Conical Dryer CD - Battery Solution


The IKA Conical Dryer CD represents a significant advancement in the field of vacuum contact drying, specifically tailored to the needs of the battery manufacturers.

This equipment operates at maximum temperatures of 250°C and under precise vacuum conditions to facilitate effective drying. Its design heats the vessel wall, cover, and spiral agitator, optimizing energy transfer and uniform product drying. The solvent vapors produced in the process are removed efficiently through a reversible flow dust filter. Operators can adjust the agitator's speed to suit the specific drying requirements of the materials.

IKA conical dryers offer a scalable solution with a wide range of available sizes, spanning from 10 to 10,000 liters of usable volume. Upon request, IKA offers complementary equipment like solid filling/packing units, heating/cooling modules, vacuum systems with solvent recovery, and fully automated process controls.

The IKA Conical Dryer demonstrates remarkable versatility in addressing drying needs across the battery manufacturing, including:
  • Specializes in vacuum contact drying of humid solid battery materials under continuous mixing, ensuring high-quality component production.
  • Suspension separation and thermal drying of advanced battery materials.
  • Separation of free water from crystallization water in lithium hydroxide monohydrate.
  • Separating active ingredients from solvents during battery material synthesis to ensure purity and performance.
  • Recovering valuable materials from used batteries, enhancing recycling processes.
This vacuum contact dryer offers an effective solution for drying lithium compounds. The vacuum technology lowers water's boiling point, allowing efficient, low-temperature drying. This prevents lithium hydroxide degradation during mining and preparation, enabling precise moisture control and enhancing lithium production quality.
