Glovebox for lithium-ion battery material processing
Ensure optimum material integrity with a solution designed to maintain an ultra-pure and inert atmosphere, crucial for high-precision lithium-ion battery component processing.
Processes Battery Materials in Controlled Atmosphere
The Energy 11 PROTECT Glovebox Solution from Thermo Scientific sets itself apart as an integrated system for precise battery material processing. It combines a robust twin-screw extruder with a meticulously controlled argon atmosphere, ensuring less than 1ppm of O2 and H2O for optimal material preservation. This unique setup is essential for producing high-quality components such as lithium-ion and solid-state battery cells, including cathodes, anodes, and separator films. Its working principle revolves around high dispersive and distributive mixing, with continuous processing to eliminate batch variations. The system operates under a PLC-controlled mechanism offering customization of feed options for solids and liquids, enhancing operational flexibility. All contact parts can be swiftly disassembled for thorough cleaning, reducing downtime and cross-contamination risks. With the optional nitrogen removal and solvent filtration, the glovebox maintains an ideal environment for sensitive battery materials, ensuring consistent and efficient production.
