What is Battery-Grade Iron Phosphate? Battery-grade iron phosphate (FePO₄) is a critical material used in the production of Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) batteries. These batteries are highly valued for their long cycle life, thermal stability, and safety, making them ideal for electric vehicles, stationary energy storage, and portable electronics. Achieving battery-grade purity and consistent particle size distribution is essential for maximizing battery efficiency, longevity, and safety.
Precise particle size control significantly affects battery performance, energy density, and charge cycles. Uniformly fine powders ensure optimal packing density, consistent chemical reactions, and stable battery performance. Traditional sieving methods struggle with iron phosphate powders, as they are prone to agglomeration, electrostatic charges, and screen mesh blinding. Advanced sieving solutions are required to achieve consistent particle sizing below 20 microns, which is critical for high-quality battery production.
Elcan Industries offers specialized solutions for sieving high-value battery materials such as battery-grade iron phosphate. Our advanced Hi-Sifter screening machine delivers strong vertical energy, effectively breaking up agglomerates and ensuring precise particle sizing down to 10 microns without mesh blinding. For applications requiring even finer classification, our Elbow Jet Air Classifier provides a no-screen solution, achieving ultra-fine particle separations down to 1 micron, essential for next-generation battery technologies.
To further enhance purity, Elcan’s CG Electromagnetic Separator (Class II Div II & UL rated) removes ferrous contaminants, achieving up to 18,500 Gauss. Our state-of-the-art toll processing facility allows battery manufacturers to conduct full-scale trials, optimizing particle size and purity before implementing large-scale production processes.
