Description
The UKBIC Flexible Industrialisation Line is designed to allow staged scale-up of electrode
manufacture from laboratory scale through to GWh scale on UKBIC's existing high-volume
electrode lines. The project will be phased and in the first phase equipment will be purchased
to allow scale-up of electrode processes from the Flexible Industrialisation Line to UKBIC's
high-volume electrode lines. This will incorporate mixing process compatible with UKBIC's
mainline process and coating and drying equipment which will take batches of slurry and
convert them onto anode and cathode foils. Subsequent equipment will incorporate next
generation electrode manufacturing processes, so solutions covering both scenarios are
encouraged.
This new electrode capability will be supplemented by flexible equipment to Calender and
slit the electrode reels allowing them to be converted into cells using the main UKBIC
cylindrical and pouch cell assembly lines, or other flexible cell manufacturing equipment that
may be installed during a later phase.
Phase one of the project also includes the installation of a Cell Cycling Facility for
manufacturing conformance testing of cells manufactured at UKBIC.
Cell cycling equipment for manufacturing conformance testing of battery cells made at
UKBIC.
This requirement is split into three lots:
Lot 1 - Cell Cyclers
Lot 2 - Temperature Test Chambers
Lot 3 - Cell Fixturing
Suppliers will be able to bid for individual lots, however bids that offer combined solutions
incorporating more than one aspect (lot) of this equipment are encouraged.
Please see Appendix 1 -User requirements specification for the complete requirements.
