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!

In civil engineering sites, in addition to construction feasibility and safety, material selection that takes environmental considerations into account is required. Materials used for temporary roads, access roads, heavy machinery work yards, and material storage areas are now focusing not only on traditional steel plates but also on materials that can contribute to reducing environmental impact. Hyper CLT sheets are civil engineering CLT materials made from wooden CLT. Because they utilize wood, they are characterized by their ability to easily connect to proposals that consider site environments, such as CO2 fixation, glare reduction, and noise reduction. The 5×10 sheet weighs about 230 kg, and the 5×20 sheet weighs about 460 kg, making them lightweight and easy to handle even with small machinery, thus helping to reduce the burden of transportation, installation, and removal. Furthermore, they can be used in a wide range of applications as an alternative to steel plates for measures against muddy conditions, ground protection, and ensuring work pathways. In public works, they are also easy to propose as materials that demonstrate the adoption of environmentally friendly materials and ingenuity during construction, which can lead to improved site evaluations. As a registered technology with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism under NETIS "TH-250021-A," they can also be utilized as materials for proposals on creativity and environmental measures in public works. We recommend them as a new alternative to steel plates for companies considering environmental considerations, NETIS, civil engineering utilization, and civil engineering CLT.

The particle visualization technology developed under our brand "ViEST" has a very high level of detection sensitivity that allows for real-time visualization of the suspended and adhered states of micro and nano-sized particles. We are engaged in the sale of visualization systems and contract services for evaluation (investigating particles and airflow in production processes, manufacturing equipment, and factory environments, evaluating the performance of cleaning products, proposing yield improvement measures, etc.) both domestically and internationally. In manufacturing environments, invisible fine foreign substances, dust generation, particle adhesion due to static electricity, and airflow disturbances can lead to quality defects and reduced yield. Our company clarifies these contamination factors through visualization technology and provides consistent support from identifying the source of the problem to considering and confirming improvement measures. Do you have any of the following concerns? - Unable to identify the cause of foreign matter contamination - Want to check airflow and cleanliness in clean rooms - Want to understand dust generation from manufacturing equipment and transport systems - Want to reduce particle adhesion to films and substrates - Want to improve contamination that causes yield reduction

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Conventional welding repair methods can alter the base material around the crack due to heat, leading to residual stress and deformation, which always carries the risk of "crack recurrence" or "secondary damage." Hinode Water Supply Equipment Co., Ltd.'s "Mechanical Stitching Method" is a new technique that allows for metal crack repair without applying heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, the crack is physically removed without affecting the base material with heat. Repairs can be made even in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized. For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.
