Slitter Equipment for UKBIC Flexible Industrialisation Line (FIL)
Main contract details
<p style="margin-left: 1cm; line-height: normal"><span style="font-family: "Calibri", sans-serif">This new electrode capability will be supplemented by flexible equipment to Calender and slit the electrode reels allowing them to be converted into cells using the main UKBIC cylindrical and pouch cell assembly lines, or other flexible cell manufacturing equipment that may be installed during a later phase.</span></p>
<p style="margin-left: 1cm"><span style="font-family: "Calibri", sans-serif">Slitting process equipment is required to allow UKBIC to process Anode and Cathode electrodes from its own in-house Coating and Calendering processes or from third party material produced external to UKBIC.</span></p>
<p style="margin-left: 1cm"><span style="font-family: "Calibri", sans-serif">UKBIC currently has Slitting equipment in its Volume Industrialisation Line allowing for segregated Slitting of Anode and Cathode material however the size of the equipment is desired for Electrode Material at high levels of maturity and/or on a mass production scale. As a result, UKBIC is looking to install smaller equipment for customers at lower maturity level and allow for added flexibility and modularity as such that new/missing technologies from UKBICs Volume Industrialisation line can be used and proven.</span></p>
<p style="margin-left: 1cm; line-height: normal"><span style="font-family: "Calibri", sans-serif">The Slitting equipment will be installed in a new internal Clean Room facility to UKBIC and should allow for futureproofing with the known assumption of battery industry evolution and changes.</span></p>
