The goal is not to compress an electrode further; it is to fuse two surfaces — typically a PTFE-bound dry electrode film against a primer-coated aluminum or copper foil — using heat just above the binder's softening point and a controlled nip pressure. Steel-on-steel calenders deliver the high line load needed for densification but are unforgiving on thickness variation; soft-nip rubber rollers conform to small thickness gradients and protect delicate layers such as ion-exchange membranes or coated separators.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe two formats covered here serve different scales of work:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRoll-to-roll hot rolling presses\u003c\/strong\u003e — heated steel rollers fed from an unwind\/rewind pair, suited to continuous lamination of dry-electrode webs onto pre-primed foil.
