Energy-efficient and low of contamination: Battery cell production with NORD

Efficiency and process stability are two requirements that play a decisive role in the complex battery cell production process . NORD DRIVESYSTEMS supports the industry with tailor-made drive solutions with which manufacturers can have their total cost of ownership under control. This includes energy-efficient low-contamination components

Battery cell production comprises various highly sensitive and energy-intensive process steps. Drive solutions are one important aspect in order to ensure stable and cost-efficient production processes and continuous product quality. NORD supports OEMs and system operators along the entire process chain with complete solutions from a single source. Two examples:

  • Calendering: In this process step, the active material gets its electrochemical properties using a role-to-role method. Here, NORD components ensure consistently high rolling forces that are decisive for the product quality. The UNICASE helical bevel geared motor achieves torques of up to 50,000 Nm and provides a wide ratio range. The decentralised NORDAC FLEX frequency inverter ensures the save and even power transfer to the rollers.
  • Drying the electrodes: Users benefit from the efficient NORD solutions when it comes to expensive process steps. This includes the highly efficient IE5+ synchronous motor with an efficiency that surpasses the highest defined energy efficiency class across the entire adjustment range. It can thus not only increase the conveyor system’s overall efficiency but also provides the possibility of variant reduction, significantly contributing to the reduction of the total cost of ownership.

High product quality thanks to low-contamination components

On demand, NORD equips its components with a self-developed coating to protect the sensitive material against contamination, especially in the lithium battery cell production. It does completely without copper, zinc and several other non-ferrous metals. Furthermore, galvanised components such as screws, washers or oil filler caps can be replaced by corrosion-resistant V4A stainless steel. The resulting drive systems significantly minimise the risk of ionisation between cathode and anode material and the drives.
