Leading Manufacturers of Lithium-Ion Batteries Choose Edwards for Vacuum
Reliability of vacuum pumps key to production process
The GXS dry screw pump technology is used in different processes in lithium-ion battery manufacturing; in the vacuum drying of electrodes and complete battery cells effective removal of moisture and solvents is critical to the process. In electrolyte filling and degassing applications the GXS is used to prevent the formation of micro air bubbles and for the removal of water vapour, ensuring efficient charging and discharging cycles. This results in a reliable battery with high performance and a long life for use in electrical vehicles.
