Cathode Material Cost Saving

Problems at the site

One of the leading cathode material producers for secondary batteries, who has a lot of factories around the world, installs approximately 40 dust collectors in each factory to collect and reuse raw materials because those raw materials for the process are expensive and valuable.

However, the company used to hold a problem of raw materials leakage from the process due to deterioration of dust collectors or insufficient maintenance.

This raw materials loss was about US$200,000 per every month.

Furthermore, it was also concerned about the problem of air pollution.

As a result, large losses due to leakage of expensive and valuable raw materials had become an issue.

Solved by the Dust Monitor

The dust monitor continuously monitors the exhaust from the dust collector and solves the problem!

By installing a dust monitor in the exhaust duct of a dust collector, it is possible to detect dust leaks from the dust collector at a minute level and predicts signs of dust leakage.

Provides 24H continuous measurement which is highly correlated with the absolute measurement (isokinetic sampling method) at a reasonable cost.

No complicated commissioning required.

It is done by selecting a measurement range with screwdriver only.

Compact type, Remote sensor type, Correlation compensation function, High temperature resistant, Ex-proof (Ex ib IIB T4), Corrosion resistant, etc.

Achieved by the technology

Continuous dust monitoring enables predictive maintenance, allowing early detection of abnormal conditions and preventing filter failures before they occur.

In this case, continuous dust leakage monitoring reduced monthly material losses of approximately USD 200,000 to zero.

Periodic filter replacement is no longer required, and post-leakage cleaning work is significantly reduced.
