Project description
Energy efficient battery cell manufacturing
The European battery cell industry requires sustainable manufacturing processes. The EU-funded BATMACHINE project aims to strengthen Europe’s battery cell industrial manufacturing value chain through the development of advanced battery cell manufacturing machinery. The primary focus is on minimising energy consumption during cell production, enhancing plant efficiency rates, and integrating intelligent control processes to reduce waste. The project will employ an energy efficient and optimised process chain for manufacturing steps such as slurry mixing, slot-die coating, calendering, and drying. BATMACHINE will establish a collaborative, FAIR data space for battery production, develop digital interfaces to streamline battery manufacturing, and investigate the environmental impact of machinery and factory designs. In this way, it will pave the way for a novel battery passport system.
Objective
The core vision of the BATMACHINE project is centred on strengthening Europe’s battery cell industrial manufacturing value chain by developing new battery cell manufacturing machinery. This is done whilst giving priority to minimising the energy energy for cells production, enhancing plant efficiency rates and integrating intelligent control processes to reduce scrap.
BATMACHINE will develop and implement an optimised and energy-efficient process chain considering:
• Slurry mixing (automated modular process set-up including monitoring techniques);
• Exclusive slot-die coating and drying novel machinery (with one side coating, a coating speed of 1m/min up to 20m/min and a web-width of 300 mm);
• Together with a calendaring tool to be integrated in a battery manufacturer for process optimisation.
Moreover, intelligent control processes and Industry 4.0 will be intensively integrated through the creation of a collaborative and FAIR data space for battery production. Digital interfaces between battery manufacturing equipment, control system, and engineers will be developed with the aim of building universal digitalisation tools to enhance the battery production and create a battery passport. The environmental and economic impact of different machinery, production line configurations and factory designs will be deeply studied to reduce the cost and energy consumption of manufacturing processes.
