American battery manufacturer Exide Technologies has added additional capacity for production lead-acid batteries at its plant in Poznań, Poland
In the company’s biggest European investment project to date, it has added EIRICH machines to boost production of its Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) batteries.
The machines are used for processing lead paste compounds – the active coating on lead-acid battery electrodes, made from leady oxide and sulfuric acid.
The EIRICH machine uses a vacuum mixer, which is an enclosed, eco-friendly system to stop the spread of toxic vapor and dust.
