Expert particle processing for a low-CO2 electromobility
No matter where you envision your lithium-ion battery materials being used, GEA has the expertise to meet your precise spray drying needs.
The challenge
Extensive efforts have been undertaken to develop and optimize new materials for lithium-ion batteries to be able to address the power and energy demands of mobile electronics and electric vehicles. However, the introduction of large-format lithium-ion batteries is hampered by high cost, safety concerns, and deficiencies in energy density and calendar life.
Advanced material-processing techniques can contribute with solutions to such issues, however, there’s no such thing as a “one-size-fits-all” solution when it comes to spray drying Li-ion battery material since individual cathode and anode powders vary widely in composition. Advanced material-processing techniques can contribute to solve these issues.
Our take – GEA drives the change
GEA's drying and particle processing plants are implemented in a wide range of production processes - from bulk products to the most advanced powders.
Take Charge with GEA Spray Drying.
Whether you wish to produce a powder, a granulate or an agglomerated product we have the expertise, technology, and equipment to match your needs. Our portfolio includes the technology in front of or downstream the drying process as well.
You deserve a specialist.
There’s no such thing as a “one-size-fits-all” solution when it comes to spray drying Li-ion battery material. Our centers have been created specific specifically to meet customers´ particular needs.
Tailor-made.
GEA’s powder engineers tailor each solution to the specific downstream components. Comprehensive pilot plant testing allows us to select and optimize the process design, so that our customers can produce powders of consistent superior quality in the most energy and cost-efficient way.
We develop and innovate.
GEA’s proprietary nozzle or rotary atomizer technology allows us to cover a very wide size range, from just a few microns up to several hundred microns. Regardless of the atomization approach, GEA offers compact, single-line spray drying plants of any desired capacity.
When Chemistry Works With Engineering
GEA is taking bold action helping manufacturers worldwide embrace more sustainable, less wasteful and more energy-efficient and cost-effective procedures and processes.
