The newly delivered pouch cell pilot line is designed to support the full development cycle of lithium-ion batteries, from material validation and process optimization to small-batch cell production. It provides a flexible, industrial-grade platform for customers to transition smoothly from laboratory research to pre-mass production.
A Complete Solution for Pouch Cell Development
The pilot line integrates all critical processes required for pouch cell manufacturing, including:
● Slurry mixing and electrode preparation
● Precision coating and drying
● Electrode calendering and slitting
● Stacking and lamination
● Tab welding and pouch forming
● Electrolyte filling, sealing, and formation
Each subsystem was engineered to deliver high consistency, excellent repeatability, and scalable performance, allowing users to replicate mass-production conditions while maintaining the flexibility required for R&D and process tuning.Supporting Next-Generation Battery Innovation
This project was developed to meet the growing demand in Asia for advanced lithium-ion battery development, particularly for electric vehicles, energy storage systems, and high-performance consumer electronics. By enabling customers to produce high-quality pouch cells in pilot scale, the line significantly reduces the technical and financial risks associated with scaling up new chemistries and designs.
The installed line supports a wide range of cathode and anode materials, including high-nickel NCM, LFP, silicon-based anodes, and emerging next-generation materials. It is also ready for future upgrades, allowing customers to integrate new coating methods, solid-state processes, or dry-electrode technologies as their R&D evolves.
From Concept to Reality
TOB NEW ENERGY provided a full turnkey solution for this project, covering line design, equipment manufacturing, installation, commissioning, and operator training. The successful start-up of the pilot line demonstrates the company’s strong system integration capability and its deep understanding of battery manufacturing processes.
During the commissioning phase, the line achieved stable electrode quality, accurate layer alignment, and consistent pouch cell sealing, enabling the customer to begin trial production and process optimization immediately.
Empowering the Asian Battery Ecosystem
With this pouch cell pilot line now in operation, TOB NEW ENERGY continues to strengthen its presence in Asia as a trusted partner for battery research institutes, start-ups, and established manufacturers. The project not only provides the customer with a powerful development platform, but also contributes to the regional battery innovation ecosystem by accelerating the commercialization of new battery technologies.
As the global demand for high-energy, safe, and cost-effective batteries continues to grow, TOB NEW ENERGY remains committed to delivering advanced pilot and production line solutions that bridge the gap between laboratory breakthroughs and large-scale manufacturing.
