Screw Feeder Boosts Material Handling Efficiency for a Lithium Battery Raw Material Enterprise

2026-01-27

Case Study: Enhanced Material Feeding

Problem

A lithium battery raw material manufacturer was facing challenges in its production process: manual feeding of powder materials led to low efficiency, high dust pollution, and inconsistent feeding accuracy, which affected the stability of downstream mixing processes. The previous manual feeding method could only achieve a throughput of 2 tons per hour, with a material loss rate of 5%, and required frequent cleaning of the production site, leading to an overall line efficiency of only 75%.

Solution

To address these issues, the enterprise introduced TMY Machinery’s Screw Feeder. This equipment uses a precision helical blade design to achieve continuous, stable, and dust-free conveying of powder materials, with a feeding accuracy of ±1% and a throughput increased to 8 tons per hour. Its fully enclosed structure eliminates dust leakage, reducing material loss to less than 0.5%, while the frequency converter control enables flexible adjustment of feeding speed to match downstream production needs.

Results & Benefits

After implementation, the production line’s overall efficiency increased to 93%, and labor costs for feeding were reduced by 60%. The stable feeding accuracy also improved the uniformity of material mixing, reducing product defect rates by 8%. This upgrade helped the enterprise meet the strict environmental and quality standards of the new energy industry, supporting its expansion into high-end battery material markets.

Performance Comparison

Metric	Before (Manual)	After (Screw Feeder)	Improvement
Throughput	2 tons/hour	8 tons/hour	+300%
Material Loss Rate	5%	<0.5%	-90%
Line Efficiency	75%	93%	+18% points
Labor Costs (Feeding)	High	Reduced by 60%	-60%
Product Defect Rate	Higher	Reduced by 8%	-8%
