1. Downtime is a significant challenge in graphite milling industry, affecting production efficiency.
2. Dependency on China for graphite poses supply chain risks and delays in equipment procurement.
3. Frewitt offers reliable milling equipment solutions to reduce downtime and ensure operator safety in graphite processing.
Downtime is a significant challenge in the manufacturing industry, especially in graphite milling where efficiency is crucial. Reduced maintenance, improved equipment reliability, and proper containment are essential to minimize cleaning and worker health issues. Supply chain bottlenecks for raw materials can also contribute to downtime in milling operations. The global demand for graphite is increasing due to its use in lithium-ion batteries, which are essential for electric vehicles and the power sector.
Most graphite processing is currently concentrated in China, creating a risk of supply-chain disruption. Dependence on Chinese manufacturers for processing equipment can lead to delays and downtime in operations. Effective containment in graphite milling is necessary to reduce downtime by preventing the release of harmful graphite dust and particles. Frewitt, a Swiss manufacturer, provides reliable equipment and turnkey solutions to improve milling efficiency and operator safety.
