MACHINES, PROCESSES AND DIGITAL SOLUTIONS
Machinery/Equipment

One important factor that could affects the Lithium-ion batteries and fuel cells production, is the slitting quality of their components such as coated copper and aluminium foils and PEM (Polymer Electrolyte Membrane also known as Proton Exchange Membrane). The slitting process must be precise, accurate and clean to avoid damaging the coating, the foil and the membrane.

Present on converting equipment manufacturing since 1955, Spoolex gained a strong expertise in slitting and rewinding technology especially for sensitive materials. Our equipment allows to unwind with sensitive tension control a wide web to precisely slit it for producing strips. Then, these strips are carefully rewound in pads with no strip and material alteration, but also with straight wall and burr-free, to ensure a highly productive and consistent production process for optimal performance batteries and fuel cells.

Thanks to our integrated R&D and Engineering department, we also offer 4.0 solutions for monitoring and productivity improvement processes, but also, fully or semi-automated solutions for loading/conveying/unloading operations.
