Lead Oxide

Grey Oxide is main raw material for manufacturing battery plates in Lead Acid Batteries and it requires production to strict specifications .Refined Lead (99.97% purity) ingots are used for manufacturing plant, The oxide manufacturing process is known as  the ball mill process. It comprises of a small Lead Melting

Furnace, operating in line with a hemispherical ball-casting machine, which feeds the balls to the ball mill .In the ball mill, Lead is converted to Lead Sub Oxide in an exothermic process, in conditions of a maintained temperature range of 135-145 degrees centigrade and constant airflow. The Grey Oxide is harvested through a high efficiency cyclone, bag-house filtration unit and induction draft fan arrangement. It is in a grey powder form. The desired  particle size and free Lead content is  ensured through proper plant configuration and precise control of ID Fan suction.
