Introduction

This video from Silverson Machines explains how their high-shear mixers improve battery slurry manufacturing. It focuses on the importance of achieving a homogeneous, stable slurry with a uniform, fine particle size to optimize battery performance and avoid issues like coating quality defects caused by agglomerates.

Key Takeaways

• High-shear mixing is crucial for battery slurry production: It ensures a homogeneous, stable slurry with uniform, fine particle size, vital for optimal battery performance.
• Efficient binder incorporation: Silverson mixers efficiently disperse binders (liquid or powder), maximizing their functionality and ensuring slurry stability, particularly addressing challenges with powder binders that require long mixing times with conventional methods.
• Agglomerate prevention: The high shear action prevents agglomeration of active ingredients, ensuring a consistent particle size distribution.
• Reduced mixing times: High shear rates significantly reduce processing time compared to conventional low-shear mixing.
• Suitable for various scales: Silverson offers high-capacity machines for handling higher viscosity slurries, making their technology adaptable to different production scales.
