Copper, zinc and nickel in battery production
The production of battery cells is a complex and challenging process that involves many individual steps, each of which has different quality requirements and potential sources of error. One of these is the use of equipment that can consist of parts made of copper, zinc or nickel, which can lead to contamination. These impurities reduce quality and, in addition to functional defects, can also pose a serious safety risk.
BST "Impurity free" solutions for the elimination of security risks
To minimize these risks and thus ensure sustainable and efficient battery cell production, we have already limited the use of copper, zinc and nickel to less than 3% in many of our solutions. These products, which have been specially developed for use with battery materials, meet the highest quality standards and are labeled with the BST "Impurity free" logo for better orientation. It goes without saying that this does not impair the function of the systems in any way.
The following BST solutions currently bear the "Impurity free" logo and are perfectly suited for use in battery cell production:
- FRAMEGuide Pro S
- FRAMEGuide Pro M
- EMS 18 / 50 /4,21 / 16x5 / FG / Step
- EMS 18 / 100 /4,21 / 16x5 / FG / Step
- IR2011 / 40 / AL
- IR2011 / 70 / AL
- US2010 / 40 / AL
- US2010 / 70 / AL
- CLS PRO 600
This list will be continuously expanded.
Suitable for use in drying rooms
In lithium-ion cell production, it is common to use a dry room environment with a pressure dew point between -50 °C and sometimes -70 °C. This special environment serves to minimize the risk of harmful acids forming due to ambient humidity and thus extend the service life of the batteries. The BST "Impurity free" solutions are also up to this challenge and can be used in extremely dry environments with pressure dew points of -30 °C to -70 °C.
