M+W Group has launched a dryroom for the manufacture of lithium-ion battery cells.
The German firm says the M+W Isolator Dryroom makes it possible for the customer to obtain considerable savings in investment and operating costs thanks to so-called ‘mini-environments’. M+W says there is no more need for workers to enter the dryroom area as the process machines can be operated externally.
This extensive spatial separation of people and highly dry environmental areas ensures significantly more stable environmental conditions and considerable savings in the operating costs. At the same time, it minimizes possible health risks that could be posed to staff remaining in the extremely dry air.
The extremely dry climate in the dryroom remains highly stable – a dewpoint can be achieved as a measure for air dryness at virtually -80 degrees Celsius (-112° Fahrenheit).
The new dryroom solution also is a result of M+W Group’s cooperation with the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) focusing on dryroom technology and resource-efficiency.
