Accelerating impact together.
Our offering – your advantages
Continuous mixing solution for wet and dry electrode compounds - maximizing performance and uptime in electrode manufacturing process
Yield
Up to 99.95%, enabled by continuous operation, a small active mixing volume, and the proprietary inline quality control system QuaLiB — significantly higher than the 99.0% yield of planetary mixers.
Quality
Superior product consistency with QuaLiB inline quality control ensuring seamless traceability and minimal scrap. Continuous processing eliminates batch-to-batch variation and reduces wear through custom-engineered screw and liner materials.
Energy Efficiency
75% lower specific energy consumption compared to planetary mixers.
Labour Efficiency
Requires 50% fewer operators thanks to fewer mixing lines and a high degree of automation.
