Containment in battery production

The increasing demand for lithium and other raw materials such as cobalt, nickel and manganese, especially in battery production, is due to the trend towards electric mobility and storage. In the production of batteries, the feedstock plays a crucial role in the quality of the final product. An important challenge here is bulk material handling, which must take into account both explosion protection and containment aspects.

Lugaia offers modern technology for handling of powder raw materials for the production of battery components. Lugaia is also a reliable partner for powder handling during the process for the chemical industry, for safe waste disposal via Continuous Liner System (CLS) as well as for well-known automotive manufacturers and suppliers.

Consistently high quality of battery masses is an important requirement during production. The raw materials, which come from different parts of the world, are often delivered in big bags or sacks. Dust-tight discharge and clean introduction into the manufacturing process is as important as avoiding contamination of the final product. An effective containment strategy is necessary to protect employees from toxic and carcinogenic dusts and to keep the final product free of contamination.

Dust-tightness and containment class up to OEB 5 are guaranteed throughout the entire process. With its know-how and expert knowledge in the areas of containment and powder handling, Lugaia offers a comprehensive range for the production of batteries (TransferBags, SafeFlex Isolators, Continuous Liner System).
