Why lamination matters in a battery cell
In a stacked cell, electrodes and separator have to stay precisely aligned. Laminating the layers fixes them in position before stacking. That makes the stack more stable and easier to handle, and reduces the risk of misalignment. A precise, repeatable cell structure is the basis for consistent cell performance.
Pressure, temperature and alignment
Three parameters decide the quality of a laminated cell. Too little pressure and the layers do not bond; too much and the separator can be damaged. Temperature has to be even across the full width, and web tension has to stay constant so the layers do not shift. These are the parameters our engineers work with every day in industrial lamination.
Every project starts with your process
Battery cell production has its own materials and requirements. That is why we start from your materials, your cell format and your targets, and work out with you what a laminating machine needs to do. Engineering, production and service are all in-house in Raalte, the Netherlands, so you work directly with the people who design and build the machine.
