Weighing and feeding solutions for battery cell production - 2

Great batteries start with perfect conditions Battery cell production is complex. Maximum precision and protection for employees and the environment are required. This is because producers of lithium-ion batteries have to handle materials that are difficult to process, in some cases highly flammable and highly toxic. Two different types of processes are possible for weighing and mixing raw materials in battery production. In continuous processes, the material is continuously weighed and dosed; in batch processes, there are breaks between weighing and dosing processes. Weighers and feeders...

Safe weighing and dosing according to ATEX Safe to high-performance battery cells with OEB The ATEX Directive (ATEX = Atmospère Explosible) lays down standardized, applicable regulations for devices and protective systems intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres areas. Its aim is to ensure that products fulfil certain requirements, to ensure a high level of protection of the health and safety of persons and goods is guaranteed. The OEB value (Occupational Exposure Band) indicates the toxic hazard potential that the raw material has. The higher the value, the more toxic the...

Customized solutions for your battery cell production There are various methods for producing cathode and anode mixtures to manufacture batteries. The most common method is batch dosing into a mixer. This can be done dry or wet and may vary depending on the type of mixer used. Additionally, there is continuous extrusion. Each variation brings its own specifics and requirements to the equipment used to ensure the production of high-quality electrode paste. In both methods, highly accurate dosing is necessary to introduce the materials into the mixer and subsequent processes in the correct...

Example 1 Batching process with planet mixer C lear and flexible interfaces to material handling and downstream equipment (hopper, mixer, reactor etc.) T he LIW concept makes simultaneous dosing possible. This shortens batch times and speeds up production. A specially developed filling concept is used to increase the dosing accuracy. A newly patented solution is used. A combination of a fast closing flap and a screwend bearing. This prevents material from trickling out while preventing the screw from coming into contact with the discharge. F ilter concept and pressure compensation available...

Example 2 Batching process with Inline-Disperser Conti-TDS by Ystral he cathode material powder is fed into a storage container using T differential dosing scales. Under nitrogen blanketing, the individual materials are replenished from the refill containers. They are then simultaneously dosed into the holding container via a screw. The Inline Disperser subsequently draws the powder from this holding container and mixes it with the liquid pre-set in the tank. his solution allows for extremely short mixing times in a very T compact space. stral GmbH’s Conti-TDS, in combination with LIW...

Example 3 Continous & semi-continous dosing with extruder ignificantly higher throughputs, as production can be continuous. S After just a short time, the correct ratio of raw materials is achieved and a very high quality slurry can be produced. Batch traceability is no longer a problem thanks to new inline quality control methods. lar has a lot of experience resulting from many years of joined Q effort with with extruder manufacturers in other industries. ontinuous extrusion often proves to be more cost-effective in the C long run. While the initial setup costs may be higher compared to...
