Innovation in Product and Processes

Advancement in technology and materials that are taking place in the field of Li-ion cell manufacturing, will have a positive impact on production costs, reducing the cost of not only raw material but also the final battery cell. Innovation has always led to better performance and quality of the end product.

• Various mixing technologies and mixing tools are now available: intensive mixers, planetary mixers, dispersers, etc.
• Simultaneous coating process that enables coating of the top and bottom sides of the foil at the same time using two opposite application tools.
• Dry coating application of the active material on the carrier foil can be done in powder form without using a solvent, greatly reducing thermal activation time. Removing the solvent and drying process allows large-scale Li-ion battery production to be more economically viable.
• The conventional dryers can be supported by infrared heating, making them more efficient
• Lamination is a key technology for Lithium-ion battery production. The individual electrode and separator sheets are laminated onto each other in a continuous process and are then usually pressed together by a heat press, improving production line speed.
