Lithium battery automatic drying line enterprise

What is yinghe lithium battery automatic production equipment technology research institute?

The YINGHE lithium battery automatic production equipment technology research institute (“Institute” for short) was formally listed. The back-end equipment such as assembly line and liquid injection were put into the market, forming a complete equipment production line.

Does laser drying reduce energy consumption in lithium-ion batteries?

The innovative manufacturing process significantly reduces energy consumption in electrode production and at the same time enables the drying speed to be doubled. © Fraunhofer ILT, Aachen, Germany. Laser drying in a roll-to-roll process makes the series production of lithium-ion batteries significantly more sustainable and economical.

Can laser-dried lithium-ion batteries be produced in a roll-to-roll process?

The IDEEL research project aims to introduce a laser drying process as a more climate-friendly and economical method for the volume production of lithium-ion batteries. Within this context, it has now been possible to produce laser-dried anodes and LFP cathodes in a roll-to-roll process for the first time.

Can a convection dryer dry electrode coating?

Up to now, convection dryers have been used to dry this electrode coating, but the thermal energy transfer is only indirect into the material and thus places a heavy burden on both the CO2 balance and the energy costs of battery production.

Does laser drying reduce energy consumption in electrode production?

Initial results indicate that for pure laser drying, the new manufacturing process reduces energy consumption in electrode production by up to 85 percent. Through the addition of the laser, the hybrid process also yielded a doubling of the drying speed when compared to convection drying only.

How will the laser-based drying process be scaled up?

Based on these contributions, the laser-based drying process will be scaled up to industry-typical feed rates within a demonstrator (Coatema) and the physics-based model of the new drying process subsequently validated (ILT, FFB). The research results are to be incorporated into the FFB's processes in the future.
