Introduction

This video from Silverson Machines highlights the use of their high-shear mixers in battery slurry production. It emphasizes the importance of homogeneous, stable slurries with uniform, fine particle size for optimal coating quality and explains how their mixers achieve this.

Key Takeaways

• Silverson high-shear mixers efficiently produce homogeneous, stable battery slurries with uniform, fine particle size.
• The mixers prevent agglomerates that can negatively impact coating quality.
• Binders, crucial for slurry stability, are effectively dispersed, even from powder form, minimizing mixing times.
• The mixers' milling action finely disperses active ingredients and reduces reagglomerated particles.
• In-line mixers are typically used, handling high viscosity slurries at high capacity.
