Carbon black is a vital component across numerous industries ranging from rubber reinforcement and pigment production to conductive additives. While Carbon Black is used and seen in products we use in our everyday life, getting the powder into a workable format can be a difficult and tedious task using conventional equipment. Carbon black is typically a very fine, lightweight powder that, aside from its tendency to coat everything it touches, is also prone to agglomeration, contamination, and inconsistent particle size.
While many companies turn and run away when they hear Carbon Black, at Elcan Industries, we welcome the challenges associated with processing it. Elcan offers turnkey powder processing services for carbon black that are difficult to find in the marketplace. Whether it’s our unique, high-energy sieves, our exclusive electromagnetic separators, or our ability to offer custom down-packing services for the powder, we offer consistent, high-quality results.
Ultra Fine Sieving for Carbon Black Agglomerate Removal
Traditional and ultrasonic sieving systems often fall short when handling carbon black due to its low density and tendency to clump. This can lead to very inefficient separations and slow processing rates when trying to sieve the powder at finer mesh sizes. Elcan’s proprietary Hi-Sifter sieving machine technology uses a high energy approach to break up agglomerates and remove oversize and fines from the particles efficiently down to 20um. The result is precise particle control, improved flowability and reduced processing waste, while seeing consistent results across production batches.
Electromagnetic Separation to Eliminate Contaminants
Carbon Black powder can be highly sensitive to metallic contamination, especially in applications like lithium-ion batteries, polymers, or high performance coatings. Elcan’s CG Electromagnetic Separators are capable of pulling out both ferrous and weakly magnetic contaminants that regular magnets can miss, even at sub micron levels. The systems are ideal for battery grade or electronic grade carbon black and purity sensitive applications.
Carbon Black Repackaging and Custom Blending
Elcan Industries also offers flexible custom repackaging services to help clients transition their carbon black into formats that match their manufacturing or distribution needs. Whether you are moving bulk bags into 25 kg liners, we can also provide heat sealing bags, or creating custom blends with other additives, we can help manage the material flow from start to finish.
