Rechargeable Battery
HeatTek offers a complete line of pasted plate systems for all battery types from Ni Cad to NiMH and Lithium. HeatTek pasted plate systems offer high line rates with consistent loading and drying across the entire plate width on foam, felt or foil substrates. HeatTek offers complete turn-key systems engineered to your specific process requirements.
HeatTek plate systems are complete from pay-off to take-up with features and options such as:
- Inline substrate Coining
- Inline calendaring both pre-calendar and final
- Material edge guiding through the complete system
- Slurry application systems and equipment
- Infrared, convection and combination drying systems
- Inline Material Slitting and Micro Fracturing
Horizontal Electrode Sintering
Horizontal electrode sintering is for manufacturers that require increased line speeds and true dynamic temperature profiles. The horizontal design eliminates the thermal chimney inherent in vertical style systems. Additionally, the horizontal configuration eliminates the introduction of additional stresses in the plate by providing full support of the electrode throughout the sintering process.
Vertical Electrode Sintering
HeatTek has taken this industry standard a step beyond with features such as dual line systems, controlled zone drying and special muffle support systems. HeatTek vertical systems employ a specially designed furnace shell and lining system which allows rapid heating and cooling. In addition, a unique muffle support eliminates excess muffle stress from the effects of gravity and thermal expansion.
