As smart manufacturing expands globally, Changzhou YIBU Drying Equipment Co., Ltd.—recognized as a National "Little Giant" Enterprise—has successfully delivered an XSG-2200 Spin Flash Drying smart production line to Congo, Africa. Designed for an annual output of 5,000 tons of cobalt hydroxide, this project highlights YIBU's engineering expertise and empowers Africa's new energy industry with advanced drying technology.

As a leading manufacturer of industrial drying equipment, YIBU completed the entire project lifecycle—from preliminary technical consultation and contract signing to manufacturing, quality inspection, and dispatch—in just three months. To guarantee on-time delivery, multiple departments collaborated seamlessly to finalize production and inventory ahead of schedule. On dispatch day, five heavy-duty trucks were efficiently loaded, demonstrating YIBU’s robust production management and reliable order fulfillment capabilities.

The XSG Spin Flash Dryer is specifically engineered for drying cobalt hydroxide (Co(OH)₂), an inorganic compound primarily used to manufacture other cobalt derivatives, glass colorants, and paint driers. The equipment integrates drying, crushing, and classifying into a single, continuous step. Once the wet cobalt hydroxide enters the system, it is instantly dispersed, dried, and separated under the dual action of high-temperature airflow and a high-speed rotational mechanism. The entire transformation from raw filter-cake to finished powder takes only seconds, dramatically increasing throughput.

Core Applications

● Lithium Battery Materials: Used to dry cobalt hydroxide, a critical precursor for lithium battery cathode materials. The rapid flash drying process prevents any thermal or structural damage to the material.

● Chemical & Pharmaceutical Processing: Ideal for handling other paste-like, viscous, and highly heat-sensitive materials, such as pharmaceutical intermediates and chemical catalysts.

Equipment Advantages

● High Energy Efficiency: Utilizes advanced cyclone technology to maximize thermal efficiency while maintaining a clean, optimized operating environment.

● Automated Control: Fully supports continuous, automated production, yielding finished powders with excellent dispersion, flowability, and solubility.

● Anti-Sticking & Anti-Coking: A specialized internal structural design effectively prevents heat-sensitive materials from adhering to the chamber walls or discoloring, ensuring consistent product quality even in high-temperature scenarios.

With green manufacturing becoming a global standard, the successful deployment of this 5,000-ton capacity production line will inject strong momentum into Congo’s new energy sector. The processed cobalt hydroxide will directly supply local gigafactories for battery cathode production, accelerating the expansion of the renewable energy supply chain across the region.
