Inline disperser for lithium-ion electrode slurry mixing

Achieve highly efficient dispersion and homogeneity for battery slurries with this inline solution, ensuring precise mixing and wetting processes while minimizing metal contamination.

Inducts Powders and Disperses Slurries Efficiently

The Batt-TDS from Ystral is an innovative inline disperser specifically tailored for the lithium-ion battery industry, as well as chemical and pharmaceutical sectors. This equipment excels in its ability to induct powders under vacuum and disperse them within liquid streams to form homogeneous slurries. Its unique design allows for precise control over flow and shear rates, optimizing the dispersion process without the need for high-viscosity conditions typically required in conventional systems. Applications include the efficient preparation of lithium iron phosphate battery slurry, conductive carbon suspensions, and cosmetic creams, among others.

Capable of scaling from pilot to industrial production, the Batt-TDS performs powder induction and dissolution in a single cohesive process, reducing batch times significantly and ensuring consistent batch-to-batch quality. The integrated PLC control provides seamless automation, allowing for real-time adjustment and monitoring of processing parameters. This feature enhances production accuracy while minimizing operator intervention.

Engineered from durable materials, the Batt-TDS can withstand aggressive chemical environments, ensuring longevity and reduced maintenance costs. Its compact form facilitates easy integration into existing manufacturing lines, conserving valuable factory space. The Batt-TDS complies with rigorous industry standards and supports clean-in-place procedures, enabling efficient maintenance and uninterrupted operation.
