In the fabrication of dry battery electrodes—where active materials, conductive agents, and PTFE binders are "fibrillated" without the use of NMP solvent. The Roll-to-Roll (R2R) Hot Rolling Press is the equipment that bridges the gap between raw powder and a functional, commercial-grade electrode. The hot rolling in a dry process serves as the primary film-forming and lamination engine.

A complete R2R dry processing line typically utilizes the hot rolling press in two distinct stages: (1) The fibrillated "battery dough" from your high-speed dry mixer is fed into the heated nip of the press. (2) In the second pass, the free-standing film is paired with a current collector (aluminum or copper foil) that has been pre-coated with a thin conductive primer.

Part Number
  • ESMDBER2RHRPGAS (ESM-DBE-R2RHRPGAS)
Power
  • AC220V±10%, single phase, 50/60Hz, 6000 W 
Hot Rollers
  • Φ150×220mm mm (effective hot rolling width: 200 mm)
  • Roller is made of DC53 stainless steel
  • Heating temperature on three rollers: Max:150℃ (independently controlled). 
  • The recommended temperature for three rollers can be 80°C, 80°C, and 60°C.

         

Calendering Speed
  • 0.05- 1 m/min (the rolling speed of each roller can be adjusted independently)
  • Normally the recommended gradient speed: 0.1 m/min (roller 1), 0.12 m/min (roller 2); 0.15 m/min (roller 3). 
  • The slight speed difference is beneficial to high quality film formation without any damages.  
Calendering Gap/Pressure
  • 0-1.2 mm (digital set and adjustable)
  • The recommended gap for roller 1 and 2 is 0.1 mm, while that for roller 2 and 3 is 0.18 mm (stainless steel foil is go through it)
  • Max. 15 T (pressure adjustable)
  • 0.1-0.5 T for roller 1 and 2; while 0.2-2 T for roller 2 and 3 (depends on active material types) 
Powder Feeding Hopper
  • A powder feeding hopper is design at the top of rolling press, which is convenient for powder feeding to form electrode sheet. 

         

Note

 Dry electrode fabrication processes: 

The active material (eg: graphite, LFP, NMC) is mixed with conductive carbon at medium level speed, and then add the PTFE into the mixture and mix it at a low speed (Temperature=10-15℃). A high-speed mixing was conducted in a short time to generate partially PTFE fibrillation. The large agglomerates were removed with a 30 mesh filter.  

         

  • (2) Sheet Formation/Rolling Press 

Place the powder mixture into the feeding hopper. The three rollers with gradient gap/pressure will from the self-standing dry film. A cutter is designed to cut the film edge.

                           

    • (3) Electrode Lamination (combined with another roll-to-roll laminator)

    The thin self-standing dry film can be further laminated (same speed) with carbon-coated foil (eg: CBACCCCFR, CBCCCCAFR) to form the complete dry battery electrode.
