Lithium Salt Storage Tank Cleaning Equipment

With the rapid development of new energy sources, the demand for lithium battery electrolytes is increasing, leading to a corresponding increase in the demand for electrolyte storage tanks/ton containers. Electrolyte storage tanks are reusable packaging items, also called electrolyte containers, electrolyte ton containers, electrolyte storage tanks, lithium battery electrolyte turnover containers, etc.

The quality requirements for electrolyte ton containers are high, with impurities required to be at the parts per million (ppm) level. Therefore, to achieve the goal of reusing electrolyte tanks while ensuring electrolyte quality, the electrolyte tanks must be cleaned to reduce the impurity content and prevent electrolyte residue from affecting the quality of subsequent batches.

The disadvantages of manual water washing of electrolyte ton containers include the need to disassemble the electrolyte tanks for cleaning, time-consuming process, low washing efficiency, high energy consumption and cost (using nitrogen, large quantities of high-purity water, and requiring a drying room), and significant health risks to employees (the disassembly process releases organic solvents).

CYCO spray technology provided a new energy company with a cleaning system solution for stainless steel electrolyte tank cleaning. This system operates fully automatically, employing an ultra-high-pressure three-dimensional tank washer to achieve comprehensive scanning and cleaning of sealed containers. After multiple cycles, no blind spots are found inside the containers. Only a few operators are required for external auxiliary work, inspection, and monitoring. This completely eliminates the safety hazards of manual tank entry and the associated environmental pollution. Because it uses water as the cleaning medium, it achieves a safe, environmentally friendly, non-corrosive, and non-damaging cleaning process.

After the CYCO spray electrolyte tank cleaning equipment is put into operation, it is expected to increase cleaning efficiency by 400% compared to traditional manual cleaning, while reducing labor requirements by 70% and water consumption by 50%. This effectively ensures cleaning results, reduces quality control risks, lowers production and environmental costs, improves the intelligence of production and logistics, and increases overall efficiency.

CYCO spray technology’s electrolyte storage tank cleaning equipment is a specialized cleaning device for cleaning stainless steel storage tanks containing lithium-ion battery electrolyte (lithium hexafluorophosphate). It is suitable for residual liquid collection, opening, cleaning, water control, tightening, and drying of various packaged tanks. This system achieves fully automatic tank/cage loading, fully automatic external wall cleaning, fully automatic positioning of irregularly shaped tanks, fully enclosed cleaning and pressure holding of the inner tank wall, and fully automatic tank unloading.

1. It offers significant advantages over traditional closed solvent cleaning or open tap water rinsing methods.

2. In terms of spray cleaning, this method uses spray cleaning instead of rinsing, avoiding the waste of large amounts of solvent or tap water and saving cleaning resources.

Internal and external cleaning mechanisms—including positioning, drainage, and reflux design; the internal cleaning system uses solvent to clean the inside of the 200L stainless steel lithium salt tank;

High-pressure fan-shaped nozzles—high impact force, made of 316L stainless steel;

Three-dimensional tank washer—professionally developed for cleaning electrolytes, with high flow rate, self-lubrication, self-cleaning, and an independent gearbox design.

CYCO spray can develop corresponding lithium salt tank cleaning systems according to customer requirements, such as: lithium hexafluorophosphate tank cleaning systems, lithium hexafluorophosphate tank cleaning equipment, electrolyte tank cleaning systems, electrolyte tank cleaning equipment, 200L lithium salt tank cleaning systems, 1000L lithium salt tank cleaning systems, and 112L lithium salt tank cleaning systems. We believe that the fully automated, high-efficiency, and high-cleanliness CYCO spray lithium salt tank cleaning system will definitely bring a better development prospect to the new energy industry.
