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.

Hotron Inc. has launched its new product, the "Vehicle Count Sensor CCS3"! This product is a ceiling-mounted sensor that combines infrared and radar technology. It reliably detects vehicles in both directions with a single unit, accommodating traffic during congestion and vehicle passing, thus achieving efficient occupancy management in large parking lots. Additionally, it can be utilized for exit warning purposes in addition to vehicle counting, contributing to the safe and smooth operation of parking facilities. 'Features' - Improved detection performance against changes in road surface during rainy weather by using both infrared and radar. - Equipped with IP67 waterproof and dustproof performance, making it effective even in salt damage areas. - Various settings can be configured from a dedicated app (for Android devices), with current settings easily understandable at a glance. - The base dimensions are the same as the previous model "CCS2," allowing for smooth replacement of existing equipment. *For more details, please refer to the product information, catalog download, or contact us.*

The wooden lightweight sheet "Hyper CLT Sheet," utilizing CLT (Cross Laminated Timber), is a sponsor of the Masters Koshien (Okayama). The Masters Koshien is where those who have experienced high school baseball come together across generations to pursue their goals once again. We resonate with their "attitude of continuing to challenge" and support their activities from Okayama. The Hyper CLT Sheet is a product created to provide a new option in civil engineering sites, which have primarily relied on steel sheets until now. It is lightweight, easy to handle, and features the environmental value unique to wood. Furthermore, it is registered as a **Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism NETIS technology "TH-250021-A,"** aiming for widespread adoption in various sites, starting with public works. Wood, NETIS, civil engineering, CLT, wooden lightweight sheets. We will continue to support challenges in both the field and sports from Okayama.
