Lithium Battery Pumping Solutions
As global demand for electric vehicles surges, lithium consumption continues to rise—driven by the need for efficient, long-lasting batteries. In response, PCM has engineered specialized pump solutions for lithium battery manufacturing. These pumps are designed to handle sensitive and viscous fluids with precision, preserving the integrity of each component throughout the process.
PCM progressing cavity pumps deliver low-shear, pulsation-free flow—ideal for dosing, coating, and transferring lithium-based materials. Their ability to maintain product quality while ensuring flow consistency makes them a trusted solution in battery production environments where purity and performance are critical.
Challenges in Lithium Battery Process
PCM pumping solutions in the Lithium Battery process
Batteries materials mixing
Raw materials (lithium) are first stored and then transferred into mixing tanks. Cathode or anode pastes are blended with solvents like NMP and binders such as carbon black to enhance conductivity and coating efficiency. These preparations are then stored before being integrated into the battery assembly line.
Transfer to the coating unit
Mixed electrode pastes are moved to a buffer tank before being delivered to the coating unit, where they are applied evenly onto metal foils (e.g., copper or aluminum). This stage demands precise, pulse-free dosing to maintain coating quality.
Lithium slurries management
During battery production, lithium slurries—highly viscous and often abrasive—must be transported to treatment or recovery systems.
