Starting tomorrow, we will be exhibiting at the Secondary Battery Expo (Tokyo Big Sight) ◇ For inquiries about slurry dispersion, Plimix will be at your service.

Regarding the particle dispersion method for slurry, we propose the solid kneading method → CDM process (patented) [related video available].

We propose a CDM process using our Filmix® as a method for manufacturing electrode slurries for lithium-ion batteries. Compared to traditional solid kneading methods, it offers the following advantages: - Short processing time - High dispersion capability - High reproducibility - Easy scale-up for mass production ■ Solid Kneading Method Process We use kneading machines such as Hibis Dispermix. The typical process involves adding all the powdered raw materials → gradually adding liquid raw materials → kneading until it forms a crumbly to dough-like consistency → further adding liquid raw materials gradually for dilution → performing viscosity adjustment and degassing. <Problems with the Solid Kneading Method> - Maximum scale is around 1,000L - Takes 5 to 10 hours per batch - Low reproducibility ■ CDM Process Steps In the CDM process, instead of taking 5 to 10 hours, we slurry the mixture by adding all liquid and powdered raw materials at once and pre-mixing for about 30 minutes until it can be pumped → then we continuously process the entire amount using Filmix® in 30 minutes. <Effects of the CDM Process> 1) MAX processing of 1,920L/H 2) High reproducibility due to fewer man-hours 3) Reduction in the number of personnel required 4) Decrease in the number of devices and installation area needed

Continuous manufacturing process and equipment for electrode slurry using Filmix® developed for dispersing electrode materials of lithium-ion batteries and fuel cells.

CDM stands for Continuous Dispersion Mixing, which is a continuous manufacturing process for electrode slurries using Filmix® developed for the dispersion applications of electrode materials in lithium-ion batteries and fuel cells. The nanoparticle design mixer (dispersion stirring device) Filmix® 56-L type is compatible with both batch and continuous processes. It can also be used by setting up a continuous line on a tabletop. ▼▼ Basic Procedure for Continuous Operation ▼▼ 1) Preliminary dispersion with a homodisperse or similar device 2) Transfer of the processing liquid using a pump 3) Dispersion with Filmix® ■ This single unit can be compactly used from research and development to small-scale production! ■ There are many successful scale-up cases from research machines to production machines! ◆◇━━━━━━━━━━ 　　Testing Now Available! ━━━━━━━━━━━◇◆ If you have materials that are problematic for dispersion or homogenization, please give it a try.

[Video Available] Improve the quality and reduce costs of electrode material slurry! Numerous delivery achievements in the battery industry with the slurry manufacturing equipment Filmix® *Catalog available.

Filmix® is a mixer (dispersion stirring device) that enables sharp particle size distribution and micronization to nanometer sizes, which was difficult to achieve with conventional high-speed stirrers. It has a proven track record in the battery industry. ● Uniform Mixing The performance of lithium-ion battery electrode materials cannot be realized without uniform mixing. By using Filmix® to mix materials uniformly, a highly stable slurry can be produced. ● Accelerated Development Speed By achieving emulsification, dispersion, and nanometer-level micronization in seconds with Filmix®, development time can be significantly reduced. ● Testing Now Available! If you have materials that are challenging to disperse or homogenize, please give it a try! Additionally, we are currently offering two catalogs related to electrode material slurry production as a gift! ◎ "Continuous Production Technology CDM Process (Filmix® Catalog)" ◎ "Booklet on Fuel Cell MEA Manufacturing" *If you would like to request a test or catalogs, please feel free to contact us.

In a civil engineering site material yard, not only is material storage conducted, but also the frequent movement of trucks and heavy machinery, unloading, and the movement of workers. On unpaved ground, mud and ruts can occur due to rain, which may reduce work efficiency. Hyper CLT mats are civil engineering CLT materials that utilize wood CLT. By laying them in material yards or storage areas, a work space that facilitates the movement of vehicles and heavy machinery can be established while protecting the ground. They can be laid only in necessary locations, and relocation or repurposing in accordance with construction progress is also possible. The 5×10 panel weighs approximately 230 kg, and the 5×20 panel weighs about 460 kg, making them lightweight and easy to install and remove even with small machinery. After use, they can also be utilized as temporary roads, access routes, or heavy machinery work yards. Additionally, they offer unique benefits of wood, such as glare reduction, noise suppression, and CO2 fixation. As a registered technology with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism under NETIS "TH-250021-A," these wooden mats can also be used for environmental improvement in material yards and innovative public works.
