Solutions For Lithium-Ion Battery Production

In Separator Film Manufacturing, Electrode Coatings Application, and Calendar Roll Cleaning, the common thread is the need for a plastic doctor blade. The utilization of steel doctor blades poses risks to the lithium-ion production process and the final product’s safety. With steel blades, the gradual wear introduces metallic micro-particles, causing contamination that can lead to thermal runaway. This, in turn, jeopardizes the storage and performance of lithium-ion batteries.

Eliminate Steel Doctor Blade Particles When Manufacturing

Separator Film

Separator film manufacturers employ a gravure process where the doctor blade is crucial for achieving a uniform ceramic coating thickness on a base film, optimizing separator film performance. This process is also used in anode and cathode manufacturing to apply electrode slurry to materials such as copper and aluminum.

Specialty Coatings

Specialty coatings, applied with tools like slot die, doctor blade, and anilox roller during lithium-ion battery production, are crucial for optimizing energy storage capabilities and discharge efficiency by ensuring a consistent and uniform thickness of the anode and cathode materials’ electrode coating.

Calendar Roll Cleaning

Calendar rolls are another place that doctor blades play a key role in the lithium-ion battery production process. Keeping the calendaring rolls clean and free of debris is crucial to the performance of the final product.

Although lithium batteries are a new technology, the methods being used for applying coatings during their production process are time tested. Both reverse angle and positive-angle metering blade configurations are used In either direction, high performance polymers with great stiffness and wear properties are required to coat consistently and reduce the number of blade changes.
