Use of mini environments
A unique solution: ULT develops solutions for air drying in relation to so-called "mini environments". This concept has significant advantages in terms of energy savings (up to 77%) for companies and clean working conditions for personnel. Through energy-optimized processes, battery manufacturers can not only save money, but also significantly increase productivity.
In these "mini-environments", the production machine for battery cell manufacturing is enclosed and its air is dehumidified to the necessary level between -4°F (-20°C) and -76°F (-60°C) dew point temperature. In addition, contaminated air is collected and filtered at the respective laser cutting and laser welding units. ULT masters the necessary air balance management.
In this area, ULT supports users from conceptual consulting and system design to installation and commissioning of the entire system technology.
Mini environments in the battery cell production
Battery production
Battery manufacturing processes are diverse. Typical steps along the battery manufacturing process that require air drying, exhaust and filtration solutions are:
Cleaning and bonding
Contacting of battery cells
Assembly and welding
Separation and joining processes or surface structuring by means of lasers or similar processes are used. processes are used. ULT offers a wide range of consulting and product solutions for this.
Preassembly of the cell modules
Disposal
The disposal of batteries produces a wide variety of toxic pollutants, many of which are harmful to health. ULT offers a broad portfolio of consulting and product solutions for air pollution control and thus occupational health and safety.
