Lithium & Battery Materials Processing Solutions
Lithium production and battery material processing demand extreme precision. From spodumene conversion to lithium hydroxide refining and black mass recycling, producers must control moisture, temperature, particle size, and purity while handling fine, abrasive, and high-value materials.
Carrier Vibrating Equipment designs and builds vibrating conveyors, feeders, fluid bed dryers, coolers, and fully integrated processing systems engineered for lithium carbonate, lithium hydroxide, calcined spodumene, cathode materials, and recycled battery feedstocks.
Our systems provide stable material flow, uniform thermal processing, dust-tight containment, and continuous-duty reliability required for battery-grade production.

Carrier solutions deliver:
Equipment for Li-Ion Batteries
& Other Critical Minerals
Engineered for advanced material processing, this high-energy milling solution reduces particle size, creates highly spherical particles, and modifies surface properties in a single system.
Produce uniform spherical materials that pack more efficiently to maximize battery energy density while delivering precise control over critical material characteristics for lithium-ion battery and other high-performance, critical mineral applications.
Vibrating fluid bed dryers are engineered to minimize energy consumption and maximize throughput. These highly efficient dryers are the ideal solution for dehydrating lithium and other metal compounds used in the cathode component of batteries.
Fluidization, with the aid of vibration, ensures intimate contact between the solids and process air, making fluid bed dryers more energy-efficient than other drying technologies. Fluid beds can accommodate a wide range of particle sizes and types, including temperature-sensitive and fragile solids. Cooling can be accomplished on the same machine by zoning the air plenum. This versatility ensures consistent and efficient operation, making vibrating fluid bed dryers a valuable choice for processing and recycling lithium-ion battery materials.
Flash dryers deliver an inexpensive method of drying fine or granular materials, such as graphite, used in the anode component of batteries.
Instantly remove surface moisture from fine, powdered, or granular minerals by suspending them in a high-temperature gas stream for a few seconds. For lithium-ion battery production and recycling, they provide high-capacity, space-saving drying while preventing material degradation. Deagglomeration equipment, such as a cage mill or mechanical slinger, can be integrated into the design to break apart wet lumps and expose trapped internal moisture for uniform processing.
Carrier Tornesh dryers provide rapid, uniform moisture removal for wet, fine, or sticky minerals and powders like lithium hydroxide and carbonate.
Condition black mass from spent batteries by removing moisture and stabilizing particles during mineral recovery. An additional cage mill or mechanical slinger can be integrated to optimize particle size and increase thermal efficiency. High temperatures can be utilized to reduce equipment size and increase capacity. Our unique tornesh design extends the residence time of the solids in the hot airstream by imparting a spin on the air, allowing for lower discharge moisture levels to be achieved.
Coolers are critical for the thermal stabilization and moisture control of cathode powders, anode powders, and battery recycling “black mass”, to ensure these sensitive materials meet the exact performance and safety specifications required for batteries.
Carrier’s vibrating fluid bed technology integrates seamlessly with drying zones so materials are dried and immediately cooled without atmospheric moisture reabsorption. Unlike static fluid beds or rotary coolers, the combination of upward airflow and mechanical vibration prevents agglomeration, breaking up clumps of fine, sticky, or lightweight lithium powders.
Vibrating conveyors streamline the transport of cathode and anode materials while maintaining material integrity. Jacketed pans can be incorporated to heat or cool solids during transfer, enhancing process flexibility.
Ensure your critical minerals line is equipped with rugged process machines with configurable designs to suit your specific battery manufacturing requirements.
Carrier’s vibratory conveyors are engineered for reliable and continuous operation to help battery manufacturers improve process efficiency and maintain consistent material handling and product quality throughout the battery material production.
Carrier vibrating spiral elevators provide efficient vertical conveying and thermal processing of lithium-ion battery materials, gently lifting cathode and anode solids while maintaining particle integrity.
Simultaneously heat, cool, or dry materials during transport to optimize process steps and reduce your battery production line equipment footprint. Designed for durability and customization, Carrier’s spiral conveyors handle demanding battery recycling and production environments while delivering consistent throughput and reliable performance.
Carrier’s vibrating feeders precisely meter and regulate the flow of battery materials into production equipment, ensuring consistent throughput and improved process control.
Efficiently feed raw materials like spodumene, lithium carbonate, and lithium hydroxide with Carrier’s unique vibratory motion. As a pioneer in vibratory equipment, our feeders prevent fine, moisture-sensitive powders from clumping or sticking to ensure even feed rates into crushers, calciners, and dryers.
Vibratory screeners meet the demanding requirements of lithium-ion and critical minerals processing by performing vital mechanical separation, classification, and contaminant removal for battery-grade materials.
Prevent clumping, control thermal environments, and ensure fine anode and cathode powders are uniform in size. Carrier screeners separate recycled batteries and efficiently sort cathode and anode materials, dewater liquids from crushed batteries, and separate battery casings for downstream processing.
