KREFELD, Germany and ZÜRICH,
July 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/
-- Swiss Battery Technology pioneer Battrion AG together with
its partner Jagenberg Converting Solution GmbH have demonstrated
the Aligned Graphite® Technology at industrial speeds. This
important milestone validates Battrion's technology for mass scale
production.
In March of this year, Swiss battery technology provider
Battrion AG and Jagenberg Group with its sub-entity Jagenberg
Converting Solutions GmbH communicated their partnership to bring
the Aligned Graphite® Technology to mass market. Today, the two
companies have announced that they have successfully demonstrated
the Aligned Graphite® Technology on a large-scale coating line with
speeds up to 100m/min. This
achievement marks an important milestone in Jagenberg's and
Battrion's collaboration, as it validates the feasibility of the
technology for mass scale anode production.
Achieving this breakthrough comes at a crucial time. With raw
material prices surging, cell manufacturers are looking for ways to
reduce costs, all while expanding their production capacity and
further improving battery performance. With the Aligned Graphite®
Technology cell manufacturers are now given a new powerful lever to
address these issues, resulting in more flexibility in the cost vs.
performance tradeoff. Negative electrodes can be made thicker
without adversely impacting charging rate or can be charged faster
at the same energy-density, safety, and lifetime.
Jagenberg is proud to announce that its coating line product
portfolio is now fully compatible for use with Battrion's
technology. The Aligned Graphite® technology can be used by either
implementing a new pilot or full production line (GWh-scale), or by
retrofitting existing battery manufacturing lines.
