Apologies if anyone has commented this already. There is a lot of discussion regarding the press.

I notice that the photo above the 'Lab' appears to be a small rotary kiln / furnace which may be utilised as the final step prior to packing, and after the centrifuge and washing sequence. Product from the centrifuge will be fed to the drying kiln, with the wash water from the centrifuge returning to the inlet of the centrifuge and mixed with additional product and water so that as much product is retained as possible.

Back to the kiln, the hopper on the right may be where the product is dropped and is fed into the kiln. The outlet protruding through the wall may be the exhaust / heat vent to outside. There is a slight downward grade on the kiln and speed of the kiln can be varied to allow retention time of product to be adjusted for optimum moisture removal.

And then hopefully some wonderful, high quality (99.5%+) lithium drops into some bags.

Happy to be corrected if already discussed, or people can confirm otherwise.
