Control Equipment’s Product Advantages

________________

Focused solutions for all aspects of
Lithium-ion Battery Production

Control Equipment Pty Ltd has developed gas detection solutions for all production processes of lithium-ion battery manufacturing, which are typically high temperature environments. By utilising direct insertion and heat resistant gas detection technology, accurate gas monitoring can be achieved in high temperature conditions often required by coating and drying processes.

Importance of Gas Detection

Why detect for gases in lithium-ion battery production?

During the production of lithium-ion batteries, processes use or generate gases, which can be combustible or toxic. Exceeding safe concentrations of these gases can put your people and equipment at risk. Protect your people and property by installing gas detection designed for lithium-ion manufacturing applications.

Electrode Manufacturing

Drying Process

In the production of electrodes for lithium-ion batteries, NMP is used as a solvent. NMP will only vaporize at high temperatures during the drying processes. As concentrations of NMP build up, the risk of explosion increases. An ideal location to detect NMP is within the exhaust duct. By utilising direct insertion design into the exhaust duct, detection of NMP will be at the center of the duct and able to withstand high temperatures and high concentrations.

Cell Assembly

Electrolyte filling process

A variety of solvents are mixed in electrolytes, such as DMC, EMC, and DEC.These have the potential to explode if vaporized, so gas detectors are required.

Cell Finishing

Testing Process

Every Lithium-ion battery is required to pass a test without emitting gas in a harsh environment. Combustible gas and toxic gas may be generated from the battery in the evaluation test process. Gas concentration monitoring is essential to prevent ignition and poisoning accidents during the testing process. When the gas detector detects the target gas, it is necessary to take outside air from the intake / exhaust damper to reduce the gas concentration in the test equipment.

Testing Process Gas Monitors

Separator

Separation Production Process

Dichloromethane (DCM) and other solvents are used for cleaning purposes in the production process of separators for lithium-ion batteries. For measuring low-concentration solvent gas and combustible gas, Control Equipment Pty Ltd’s gas detectors are ideal solutions for separator processes.
