IP Pouch Port®
Our Smart Battery Innovation
Our novel technology for electrolyte filling of pouch battery cells enables a quick and optimal wetting. The innovative concept offers great potential for saving energy, materials and costs as well as reducing the CO₂ footprint during battery cell assembly. The patent is granted.
The IP Pouch Port® technology consists of pouch sealing including ports as well as filling and degassing via the ports after formation without need of a gas bag. We developed a technology for degassing simultaneously to formation (patent granted).
Our innovative and patended production process delivers advantageous solutions for the most problematic issues of conventional pouch filling, which are:
- The pouch foil is 30-50 % larger than the final cell to form the gas bag.
► unnecessary material costs - The open cell needs to be handled in dry atmosphere.
► huge investment and operating costs - The contaminated gas bag needs to be cut off and disposed.
► extensive disposal effort
Our Solutions:
- Cells remain hermetically sealed throughout the entire process
- Filling or degassing
- Pouch without excessive amount of pouch foil
- No contaminated gas bag
- Variations in filling strategies possible
- No vacuum chamber is needed in the machine
- Readjusting of electrolyte quantity after formation/degassing possible
Unique advantages:
- Reduction of invest/operating costs and CO2 polution
- Reduction of material costs per cell
- Reduction of effort for disposal
- Faster and homogeneous wetting
- Plain machine design, improved wetting
- Process flexibility granted
