How the Hot Roller Press Process Works
Step 1: Parameter Setup
First, you set the desired parameters based on your electrode requirements:
- Roll gap: Adjust from 0-2mm using the precision ramp mechanism
- Temperature: Set thermostat for hot roller pressing (or choose unheated operation)
- Speed: Adjust feed rate from 0-40mm/s
Step 2: Electrode Feeding
Next, you feed the coated electrode between the dual Φ96mm rollers. The vertical roller placement makes loading simple and intuitive.
Step 3: Hot Roller Pressing
The electrodes pass through the heated rollers, which apply controlled pressure and temperature to compress the coating to the target density. The ≤±2um roller precision ensures consistent thickness across the entire 0-100mm rolling width.
Step 4: Heat-Assisted Compression
The adjustable thermostat maintains your set temperature throughout the process. Heat improves material flow and density, particularly beneficial for certain electrode chemistries. The hot roller press ensures uniform temperature distribution for consistent results.
Step 5: Collection
The calendared electrode exits the rollers, now optimized with proper density and thickness for subsequent battery assembly steps.
