Continuous manufacturing of dry coated electrodes
...as key to greater profitability. Manufacturing electrode masses in a continuous process with Coperion’s ZSK twin screw extruder can optimize the process significantly.
Automated processes ensure even product flow with reduced space and personnel requirements. With its highly dispersive and distributive mixing properties, the ZSK extruder provides higher homogeneity and thus higher product quality, even when adding difficult-to-mix ingredients.
Electrode manufacturing can be accomplished in the extruder using either wet or dry coating processes, whereby the latter provides clear advantages. By doing away with watery or organic solvents, not only do production costs drop, but the energy-intensive drying step is eliminated as well — the powdered or granula
