In battery production, the practical application of a defoaming mixer involves the mixing and preparation of various materials crucial for the battery manufacturing process. Here are common practical applications of the planetary centrifugal mixer in battery production:

 

Electrode Slurry Preparation:

 

Application Scenario: In the manufacturing of positive and negative electrode materials, the preparation of electrode slurry is a critical step. The electrode slurry typically comprises particulate active materials, conductive additives, binders, etc.

Practical Use: Employing the vacuum centrifugal mixer for the mixing of electrode slurry ensures uniformity and eliminates foam, contributing to electrode homogeneity and improved battery performance.

Electrolyte Mixing:

 

Application Scenario: The electrolyte is a vital component in batteries, containing dissolved electrolytes and solvents. Accurate preparation of the electrolyte is crucial, especially in systems like lithium-ion batteries.

Practical Use: Using the planetary degassing mixer for electrolyte mixing ensures a bubble-free electrolyte, maintaining the stability and performance of the battery.

Separator Coating:

 

Application Scenario: Separators in batteries prevent short circuits between positive and negative electrodes. Coating the separator requires an even coating without the presence of bubbles.

Practical Use: Employing the defoaming mixer for mixing separator coating materials ensures an even coating and enhances the quality of the coating by eliminating foam.

Battery Assembly Processes:

 

Application Scenario: Various liquid-involved steps such as stacking, pressing, and other assembly processes are part of battery manufacturing.

Practical Use: Using the defoaming mixer in liquid-involved assembly steps ensures the stability of the liquid and removes foam, improving the overall assembly quality.

Circulation of Charging and Discharging Fluids:

 

Application Scenario: Certain battery systems involve the circulation of fluids during charging and discharging, as seen in flow battery systems.

Practical Use: Incorporating the defoaming mixer in fluid circulation ensures efficient operation by maintaining a bubble-free electrolyte, supporting the system's efficiency and performance.

Other Liquid Handling Steps in Battery Production:

 

Application Scenario: Battery production includes various liquid handling steps, such as solvent processing, impregnation, coating, etc.

Practical Use: Utilizing the defoaming mixer in these steps ensures uniformity and stability in liquid processes.

Considerations:

 

Defoaming Agent Selection: Depending on the nature of the liquid and process requirements, specific defoaming agents may be added.

Equipment Cleanliness: Regular cleaning and maintenance of the defoaming mixer are essential for efficient operation.

Control of Operating Parameters: Adjusting stirring speed, time, and other operating parameters based on the specific application ensures optimal foam removal.

Quality Control: For steps affecting product quality, quality control tests are recommended to ensure that the use of the defoaming mixer does not compromise the final battery product's quality.
