[Takumina Product Information] Strong against wear! We have released the latest information on the PLSS metering pump for precise supply processes for coating liquids and electrode materials in die coaters.

Excellent liquid delivery precision, wear resistance, and cleanability! Pump 'PLSS' for precise supply processes of coating liquids and electrode materials to die coaters.

Solving all pump-related issues from research and development to process lines at once! The Smooth Flow Pump provided by Takumina, a precision pump manufacturer. The 'PLSS' is specifically designed for coating liquids and electrode material supply. It excels in delivery accuracy, wear resistance, and cleanability, contributing to improved yield. 【Features】 ■ No shear applied No localized shear is applied, eliminating air generation during liquid delivery. ■ Does not alter the liquid With no sliding parts, it consistently supplies a fixed amount without altering the liquid. ■ Easy to disassemble and inline cleaning possible The pump head is easy to disassemble. The wetted parts have a mirror finish, ensuring excellent cleanability. ■ Pulsation suppression by the refiner effect The integrated refiner suppresses any residual pulsation. ■ No concern for foreign matter contamination No foreign matter contamination from external air contact or sliding parts. ■ Suitable for thin film coating liquids of all properties Applicable to slurries, low-viscosity liquids, delicate liquids, and thin film coating liquids of all characteristics. The Smooth Flow Pump offers a lineup that accommodates various usage conditions and liquids, including flow rate, pressure, liquid viscosity, discharge accuracy, slurry diameter and material, installation and transfer conditions, and cost. Please feel free to contact us as we will help you select and introduce the most suitable product for your needs.

For granulation, dispersion, filtration, and coating processes. Precision pumps for the manufacturing of secondary batteries with a contamination-free structure.

The "PLSS Series" smooth flow pump, designed exclusively for electrode material supply, prevents wear on the pump itself as there are no rotating or sliding parts in the liquid contact area, eliminating concerns about the generation of metal wear particles. Additionally, the frequency of consumable replacements is reduced, leading to lower running costs. With fewer disassembly points, it is easy to disassemble and clean, offering excellent maintenance characteristics. By enhancing delivery accuracy, it significantly contributes to the quality and productivity of batteries. The smooth flow pump comes with a lineup that accommodates various operating conditions and liquids, including flow rate, pressure, liquid viscosity, discharge accuracy, slurry diameter and material, installation and transfer conditions, and costs.

The time for celebration has come! The new production hall has started operations! While finishing work continues in other parts of the building, metal shavings are already being produced in the first machining center. Last Friday afternoon, employees and their families, along with companies involved in the construction, gathered to celebrate the achievements so far. Cold drinks, hot barbecue, and an ice cream stand were provided. During the celebration, many employees had the opportunity to tour the entire new building for the first time. Visitors were introduced to the new machines and improved logistics through guided tours of the production area. The new training room, the training center on the upper floor, and the latest conference room for customers were also unveiled. With this new building, Volkmann GmbH has secured an additional 4,500 square meters of production space. This expansion was very important, as the existing hall had already reached its limits due to the company's ongoing growth and increased production volume.

▶Issue: Before further processing the powder in the next stage (such as packaging machines), it is necessary to inspect for the presence of metal foreign objects using a metal detector. To achieve high sensitivity, the powder needs to be inspected through free fall, but due to low ceiling height and operational inconvenience, it is not possible to install the metal detector in the next stage. ▶Solution: The CEIA metal detector will be installed under a Volkmann vacuum conveyor and on a Volkmann mobile lift. The height-adjustable lift will allow the product discharge outlet of the metal detector to be adjusted to the appropriate height for the mobile container. Additionally, the vacuum conveyor can be lowered to a height that allows the mobile lift to pass through doors. The powder will be transported, for example, from an IBC container to the mobile lift and then to the metal detector via vacuum transfer. Metal foreign objects will be sorted and collected in a separate bottle. The inspected powder will be collected in a mobile container. Another vacuum conveyor is installed for the next stage, such as the packaging machine, from which the powder will be drawn from this container. Inspection and separation of metal parts can be conducted very close to the next stage, and it is also possible in more distant production areas.

The video shows that there is a tank at the bottom of the vacuum conveyor, and steam is constantly being released (in a simulated manner). If no measures are taken, the steam will enter the inside of the vacuum conveyor, condense into water droplets, and cause powder adhesion. Both our company and our customers have been troubled by such installations. This time, with the special module jointly developed with Minato Engineering Co., Ltd., we have succeeded in blocking the rising steam. From around the middle of the video, you can see that this function is turned on. You should be able to understand that the steam that was previously rising has disappeared. As a result, it has become possible to install equipment in a steam atmosphere, which was previously difficult to do, with peace of mind.
