Starting tomorrow, we will be exhibiting at the Secondary Battery Expo (Tokyo Big Sight) ◇ For inquiries about slurry dispersion, please consult Primix.

Regarding the particle dispersion method for slurry, we propose the solid kneading method → CDM process (patented) [related video available].

We propose a CDM process using our Filmix® as a method for manufacturing electrode slurries for lithium-ion batteries. Compared to conventional solid kneading methods, it offers the following advantages: - Short processing time - High dispersion capability - High reproducibility - Easy scale-up for mass production ■ Solid Kneading Method Process We use kneading machines such as Hibis Dispermix. The typical process involves adding all powder raw materials → gradually adding liquid raw materials → kneading until it reaches a crumbly to ball-like consistency → further adding liquid raw materials gradually for dilution → performing viscosity adjustment and degassing. <Problems with the Solid Kneading Method> - Maximum scale is around 1,000L - Takes 5 to 10 hours per batch - Low reproducibility ■ CDM Process In the CDM process, we reduce the 5 to 10 hours of the above kneading process by adding liquid and powder raw materials all at once, creating a slurry that can be pumped after about 30 minutes of pre-mixing → then using Filmix® to continuously process the entire amount in 30 minutes. <Effects of the CDM Process> 1) Processing capacity of up to 1,920L/H 2) Fewer man-hours lead to higher reproducibility 3) Reduction in the number of workers required 4) Decrease in the number of devices and installation area needed

Continuous manufacturing process and equipment for electrode slurry using Filmix® developed for dispersing electrode materials of lithium-ion batteries and fuel cells.

CDM stands for Continuous Dispersion Mixing, which is a continuous manufacturing process for electrode slurries using Filmix® developed for the dispersion applications of electrode materials in lithium-ion batteries and fuel cells. The nanoparticle design mixer (dispersion stirring device) Filmix® 56-L type is compatible with both batch and continuous processes. It can also be used by setting up a continuous line on a tabletop. ▼▼ Basic Procedure for Continuous Operation ▼▼ 1) Preliminary dispersion with a homodisperse or similar device 2) Transfer of the processing liquid with a pump 3) Dispersion with Filmix® ■ This single unit can be compactly used from research and development to small-scale production! ■ There are numerous successful scale-up cases from research machines to production machines! ◆◇━━━━━━━━━━ 　　Testing Now Available! ━━━━━━━━━━━◇◆ If you have materials that are problematic for dispersion or homogenization, please give it a try. We are currently offering two booklets related to battery manufacturing as a gift. 　◎ "Battery Device Measures Booklet"　　 　◎ "Booklet on Fuel Cell MEA Manufacturing" * If you would like to request a test or booklets, please feel free to contact us.

[Video Available] Improve the quality of electrode material slurry and reduce costs! Numerous delivery records of slurry manufacturing equipment Filmix® to the battery industry. *Catalog available.

Filmix® is a mixer (dispersion stirring device) that enables the realization of sharp particle size distribution and nanoparticle size reduction, which was difficult with conventional high-speed stirrers. It has a proven track record in the battery industry. ● Uniform Mixing The performance of lithium-ion battery electrode materials cannot be achieved without uniform mixing. By using Filmix® to mix materials uniformly, it is possible to produce highly stable slurries. ● Accelerated Development Speed By using Filmix® to achieve emulsification, dispersion, and nanoparticle size reduction in seconds, development time is significantly shortened. ● Testing Now Available! If you have materials that are challenging for dispersion or homogenization, please give it a try! Additionally, we are currently offering two catalogs related to electrode material slurry production as a gift! ◎ "Continuous Production Technology CDM Process (Filmix® Catalog)" ◎ "Booklet on Fuel Cell MEA Manufacturing" *If you would like to request a test or catalogs, please feel free to contact us.

The "Hotron Non-Contact Switch" allows you to open and close doors without directly touching door knobs or switches, making it hygienic! You can choose from two types: the "Hand Wave Sensor," which only requires you to wave your hand, and the "Foot Switch," which only requires you to place your foot in front of it. It reduces the risk of virus and bacteria transmission in places where hygiene is a concern, such as food factories, restaurants, hospitals, and nursing facilities. 【Features】 ○ Reduces the risk of virus transmission by allowing door operation without contact ○ A wide variety of options to choose from based on application and location ○ Ideal for places where hygiene is a priority, such as food factories and medical facilities ○ Prevents unnecessary detection due to the switch mechanism 【Product Lineup】 ■ Hand Wave Sensor Series ○ Exposed waterproof type, front, down, and side-facing type "PF-R5" ○ Exposed type, front-facing type "PF-R1" ○ Embedded type, front-facing type "PF-U2" ○ Exposed type, downward wide type "PF-R4" ■ Foot Switch Series ○ Slim type with wide opening, vertical beam type "PF-01S" ○ Slim type with wide opening, horizontal beam type "PF-03S" ○ Standard type, horizontal beam type "PF-05" ◎ For more details, please download the catalog or contact us.

In recent years, with the outbreak of infectious diseases, there has been a demand for products that cater to "contactless operation," and this trend has extended to environments where automatic doors were previously operated by touch switches. As the automation of doors and the non-contact operation of automatic doors become more widespread, do you have any of the following concerns? ☑ Although automatic doors have been installed, they remain open due to people crossing frequently in busy areas. ☑ Touch switches have been introduced to reduce unnecessary openings and closings, but hygiene is a concern. ☑ Touch switches require regular battery replacements since they are powered. The light beam touch sensor "HA-T401" opens and closes automatic doors without contact, and its compact detection range makes it suitable for narrow passages and busy areas, contributing to energy savings and infection control. 【Benefits of Implementation】 ○ Adaptable to various door types with four spot settings, ideal for busy roads and narrow passages. ○ Energy-saving effects with two setting modes that reduce unnecessary openings and closings of automatic doors. ○ Equipped with a light beam touch function, allowing doors to open and close simply by waving a hand, ensuring hygiene. ◎ For more details, please download the catalog or contact us.

An article has been published about the case of introducing the expense reimbursement system "Rakuraku Seisan" at TSP Corporation. ~ In the case of TSP ~ Before the introduction, there were challenges such as dealing with the "paper" sent from various locations and the reliance on specific individuals for the tasks. After the introduction, the input and checking of FB data, which used to take 2 to 3 hours, can now be completed in just 5 minutes. Additionally, the mindset of the accounting department, which was previously reliant on manual entry, has changed. [Case Overview] ■ Challenges before introduction - Dealing with "paper" sent from various locations, reliance on specific individuals ■ Key points of introduction - A robust support system for setup and operation - Easy to start from a small scale both financially and functionally *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.
