Battery performance, reliability and safety plays a critical role in the success of any battery production line. To produce lithium-ion batteries, a number of common process stages are required. If, however, there are any stages in which contaminants become embedded it can damage the separator film, causing serious threats to both production and performance.
This could be in any or all these following stages:
- pre-coating,
- coating roller cleaning,
- pre calendaring,
- post slitting,
- Post cutting/stamping/laser cutting of electrodes
- Cleaning & static control on the separator film
No, the RoClean brush is a high accuracy non-abrasive brush constructed from a low water absorption material that will not risk damage to the substrate.
Other materials for the brush are available upon request.
The control of the rotational speed of the brush depends on the following options:
- If a RoClean is purchased with a control panel and AHU, the control panel communicates between the screen of the AHU and the RoClean Motor. The brush rotational speed and direction can be controlled through the screen.
- If a RoClean is purchased without a control panel, it is up to the customer to configure and interface for an operator to control these factors.
RoClean is specifically designed to work in both clean and dry room environments, purity class according to ISO 14644-1.
Under a microscope, it is possible that the brush fibres build up deposits over time. Meech have come up with a method to clean the brushes and carry out the operation in situ in the clean production area.
This involves fitting a close-fitting purge-plate below the cleaner which has a ridge that flicks the bristles. The brush can be driven in both directions to maximise the cleaning effect. The positive and vacuum air flows will ensure that released particles are extracted without spreading contamination far and wide in the clean production area.
To learn more about the Meech RoClean Cleaning Plate reach out to your local Meech distributor or contact Meech directly for more assistance.
The RoClean is optimised to effectively clean at machines speeds of 500m/min, or 1640ft/min.
For applications which exceed this parameter please reach out to your local Meech distributor or contact Meech directly for more assistance.
