Case Study: Small Laboratory Centrifuge Solution for a Norwegian Battery R&D Company

Table of Contents

Introduction

In the rapidly evolving field of new energy technologies, precision material processing plays a critical role in battery performance. Recently, ZYLAB successfully delivered a customized 10L laboratory centrifuge to a Norwegian client specializing in advanced battery component research.

This case study highlights how we provided a corrosion-resistant, high-efficiency centrifuge solution tailored to demanding chemical conditions and strict particle separation requirements.

Customer Background

The client is a European new energy technology company based in Norway, focused on battery component research and development. Their work involves handling fine particles and corrosive chemical media, requiring highly specialized laboratory equipment.

Key Requirements:

  • Particle size: 5–8 microns
  • Medium: Hydrochloric acid (HCl), pH ≈ 1
  • Final process condition: Neutralized to pH ≈ 7 after centrifugation
  • Capacity: 10L laboratory centrifuge
  • Material preference:
    • 316L stainless steel OR
    • Plastic-lined interior for corrosion resistance

The client also required:

  • Reliable filtration performance
  • Short delivery time
  • Competitive pricing

Application Scenario

The centrifuge is used in battery material separation and purification processes, where:

  • Fine particles must be efficiently separated from acidic slurry
  • Corrosion resistance is critical due to strong acid conditions
  • Filtration precision directly impacts final material quality

ZYLAB Solution

Based on the client’s technical requirements, ZYLAB engineered a customized laboratory small filter centrifuge with the following configuration:

Equipment Configuration

  • Model: 10L Laboratory Filter Centrifuge
  • Material:
    • 316 stainless steel structure
    • Internal plastic lining for enhanced acid resistance
  • Filter System:
    • PET filter bags (2 micron precision)
  • Design Features:
    • Excellent corrosion resistance for HCl environments
    • Stable operation for fine particle separation
    • Easy cleaning and maintenance

Key Advantages of the Solution

1. Superior Corrosion Resistance

The combination of 316 stainless steel and plastic lining ensures long-term durability when handling strong acidic media (pH 1).

2. High Filtration Accuracy

Using 2-micron PET filter bags, the system effectively captures particles within the 5–8 micron range, ensuring high product purity.

3. Process Compatibility

The centrifuge supports gradual neutralization, allowing safe transition from acidic to neutral pH conditions during operation.

4. Fast Delivery

ZYLAB completed production and global shipping within 4 weeks, delivering directly to the client’s facility in Norway.

Project Results

  • ✅ Efficient separation of fine battery materials
  • ✅ Stable operation under strong acid conditions
  • ✅ Improved product quality and consistency
  • ✅ On-time delivery within 4 weeks (door-to-door)
  • ✅ High customer satisfaction and successful implementation
