High-Speed Dry Coating Line Introduced by LEAD - Significant Energy Savings, Enhanced Battery Efficiency Achieved
In an era of tightening global regulations, rising carbon tariffs, and rapid industry expansion, a groundbreaking solution is emerging as a key enabler for greener and more economical production – dry coating technology. Leading the charge in this revolution is LEAD's mass-production integrated dry mixing and coating system for lithium battery anodes and cathodes.
Key Features ------------------
At the heart of the system lies a solvent-free dry coating technology, which eliminates the use of toxic solvents involved in traditional wet coating methods, thus reducing environmental hazards and recovery costs. The system boasts high industrial throughput, supporting product widths of up to 1000mm, and coating speeds of 80 meters per minute for anodes and 60 meters per minute for cathodes, enabling large-scale, flexible production for both liquid and solid-state batteries.
The system offers an integrated dry mixing and coating process, optimised for consistent, high-quality electrode preparation without the extensive time and energy demands typical of mechanical dry mixing. Furthermore, an energy-efficient design incorporates innovative engineering to reduce energy consumption in coating processes by about 35%, compared to traditional wet coating drying stages.
Benefits ------------------
The system's benefits are manifold. Significant energy savings of approximately 35% reduce the carbon footprint of battery production, aligning well with tightening global regulations and carbon tariffs amid rapid industry growth and the push towards electrification. The elimination of solvents and drying ovens also lowers operational and capital expenses, with reported cost savings exceeding 20%.
The solvent-free and dry process reduces toxic emissions, minimises environmental impact, and simplifies regulatory compliance. The system is also designed to support industry transition, as combustion engine bans approach (e.g., the 2035 ban), facilitating scalable production of next-generation batteries more sustainably and economically.
The system's flexibility extends to various electrode formats suitable for both current lithium-ion and evolving solid-state batteries, preparing manufacturers for future market needs.
Contribution to Greener, More Economical Battery Manufacturing -----------------------------------------------------------------
LEAD's system addresses the biggest energy-intensive bottleneck in battery production – the drying stage of wet coatings – by completely removing solvents and drying ovens from the process. This leads to lower energy consumption, a smaller manufacturing carbon footprint, reduced hazardous waste, improved workplace safety and environmental compliance, decreased production costs, and enhanced scalability and adaptability aligned with rapidly growing battery demand and stricter environmental standards worldwide.
In summary, LEAD's integrated dry mixing and coating system sets a new industry standard by combining solvent-free, energy-efficient, high-speed production with environmental sustainability, enabling battery manufacturers to meet global EV and energy storage demands more economically and responsibly.
The system features multi-format dry electrode production, independent roller temperature zones for maintaining coating precision, improving workshop cleanliness, and simplifying maintenance, as well as a complete dry coating solution optimised for mass production. LEAD has recently launched this innovative system, marking a significant leap forward in the battery manufacturing industry.
