Solutions For Lithium-Ion Battery Production
In Separator Film Manufacturing, Electrode Coatings Application, and Calendar Roll Cleaning, the common thread is the need for a plastic doctor blade. The utilization of steel doctor blades poses risks to the lithium-ion production process and the final product’s safety. With steel blades, the gradual wear introduces metallic micro-particles, causing contamination that can lead to thermal runaway. This, in turn, jeopardizes the storage and performance of lithium-ion batteries.
Doctor blades play a key roll in keeping the calandering rolls clean and free of debris which is essential for the performance of the final product.
Specialty coatings, applied during lithium-ion battery production using tools like slot die, doctor blade, and anilox roller, optimize energy storage and discharge efficiency by ensuring a uniform thickness of the anode and cathode materials’ electrode coating.
Separator film manufacturers use a gravure process with a doctor blade to achieve uniform ceramic coating, enhancing film performance. This technique is also used to coat anode and cathode materials with electrode slurry.
Common Doctor Blade Configurations
Although lithium batteries are a new technology, the methods being used for applying coatings during their production process are time tested. Both reverse angle and positive-angle metering blade configurations are used in either direction, high performance polymers with great stiffness and wear properties are required to coat consistently and reduce the number of blade changes.
