Production Line Equipment

Battery Production Equipment — From Lab Scale to Full Production

Our equipment covers the entire front-end electrode preparation process.

Each system is designed for battery manufacturing environments with enclosed dust-free operation, automated recipe management, and real-time data monitoring. Here’s what we build.

What We Build

Core Mixing

Dual Planetary Vacuum Mixer

The workhorse of lithium battery slurry mixing. Handles viscosities up to 500,000 cps (custom models to 5 million cps). Revolution + rotation action eliminates dead zones. Vacuum capability for degassing. Available from 5L lab units to 1000L+ production scale.

Dispersion

High-Speed Disperser

Breaks agglomerates and ensures uniform particle distribution in electrode slurries. Variable speed up to 1500 rpm. Used as the micro-dispersion control unit paired with planetary mixers. Critical for NMC and LFP formulations where particle size directly affects cell performance.

Advanced Mixing

Three-Axis Powerful Disperser

Combines low-speed stirring, high-speed dispersion, and wall-scraping in one unit. Ideal for high-viscosity, high-solid-content battery pastes. The three independent drive shafts give precise control over shear rate and mixing intensity.

Multi-Function

Concentric Twin-Shaft Mixer

Inner and outer shafts rotate independently — one for bulk flow, one for shear dispersion. Particularly effective for anode slurries where carbon black agglomeration is a persistent problem. Enclosed design suits dry-room installation.

Turnkey Line

Battery Slurry Complete Production Line

Full integrated system: powder metering and feeding, solvent dosing, dual planetary vacuum mixing, high-speed dispersion, three-stage iron removal (down to 0.03 ppm Fe), slurry transfer, storage tanks, and automated pipeline cleaning. One-click recipe management.

R&D / Pilot

Laboratory & Pilot Line Systems

Scaled-down versions of our production equipment for battery research labs and pilot lines. Available from 200 mL to 60L capacity. Same control software as production units — recipes transfer directly from lab to production scale without parameter re-validation.

Precision Grinding

Nano Sand Mill Series

Turbine, disc, and rod-pin horizontal sand mills for ultra-fine grinding of electrode materials. Achieves nano-level particle size reduction for enhanced electrochemical performance. Closed-loop recirculation for continuous operation.

Specialty

Butterfly & Basket Mixers

Supplementary mixing equipment for specific battery material formulations. The butterfly mixer handles medium-viscosity applications; the basket mill combines grinding and dispersing in a single vessel — reduces processing steps for certain cathode pastes.

Automation

Intelligent Control & Dosing Systems

Automated powder weighing (±0.5% accuracy), solvent metering, PLC-controlled mixing sequences, real-time viscosity and temperature monitoring, MES integration, and tiered access control for formula confidentiality. Reduces manual setup time by roughly 80%.

Ready to discuss your project?

Whether you need a single mixer or a full battery production line, we’ll scope it out and get you a quote within 48 hours.

Your operators are hand-weighing powders, eyeballing solvent additions, and manually tracking which batch is which. Each setup takes 30-45 minutes, and every batch is slightly different because human consistency has limits. At 6 batches per day, that’s 3-4.5 hours of pure setup time — not counting the errors.

Our Approach

Fully Automated Dosing & Mixing Sequences

Our integrated production lines automate the entire weighing, dosing, and mixing sequence. Operators select the formula on the touchscreen; the system handles powder metering (±0.5% accuracy), solvent injection, mixing speed ramps, and endpoint detection. One client in India cut their per-batch setup from 45 minutes to under 10. Plus, every batch is logged — weights, temperatures, speeds, timestamps — for full traceability.

Gulf Coast LFP battery production line — dual planetary vacuum mixer system installed in Texas

Batch Cycle

Gulf Coast LFP Scale-Up

From 12% Reject Rate to Under 3% — Texas Cathode Producer

Dual planetary vacuum stirring + high-speed dispersion

A mid-size LFP cathode producer in Texas had been struggling with a single 100L mixer on their pilot line. Worked fine at small volumes, but past 500 kg/day, slurry consistency collapsed. Particle agglomeration was the main culprit — their coating machine kept flagging viscosity deviations.

We deployed a dual planetary vacuum stirring system with our high-speed dispersion unit. The plant layout was tight — we had to redesign the powder metering feed system three times before it fit. Took an extra six weeks of engineering. But once running, batch cycle dropped from 4.5 hours to 2.8, reject rate fell from 12% to under 3%. They’ve since ordered a second identical line for a new facility in Louisiana.

“We burned through two other vendors before finding IDA. Should’ve started here.”

European EV Startup — Pouch Cell Line

Dual-Chemistry Mixing for NMC 811 and LFP — Poland

Automated CIP + nitrogen-blanketed transfer system

A startup in Poland building a pouch cell assembly line for EV battery packs needed front-end slurry equipment that could handle NMC 811 and LFP without a full changeover. The NMC 811 — that chemistry is moisture-sensitive, so the mixing enclosure had to maintain below 1% relative humidity. We added redundant seals and a nitrogen blanket on the transfer piping.

Commissioning took 11 days. Hit a snag on day three — PLC communication between our dosing system and their MES kept dropping packets. Turned out to be a grounding issue on their side, but we stayed extra days to help sort it out. Eight months in, they’re hitting 94% first-pass yield on NMC cells.

“IDA’s mixing system handles both our chemistries without us having to swap anything out. That alone saved us six figures on duplicate equipment.”

Indian energy storage battery production line — full slurry preparation system for prismatic LFP cells near Pune

Indian Energy Storage Expansion

Tripling Production Capacity — 50 MWh to 140 MWh/Year

Full slurry line with three-stage iron removal & dual coating heads

An energy storage company near Pune making prismatic LFP cells needed to triple capacity. We designed a full slurry preparation line: automated powder weighing, dual planetary vacuum mixing, high-speed dispersion, three-stage iron removal, and slurry transfer feeding two parallel coating heads. Total throughput: 8 tons of slurry per day.

Honest moment — the freight logistics were a nightmare. One mixing vessel got stuck at Mumbai customs for nearly three weeks over a classification dispute. We sent our logistics coordinator in person to sort it out. Once on site, installation took 18 days, trial runs started on day 22. Six months in, they’re at 140 MWh/year with headroom to spare.

“We went from a bottleneck at mixing to a bottleneck at formation. That’s the kind of problem we wanted.”

Cell Formats

Pouch, Prismatic & Cylindrical

The front-end electrode prep — slurry mixing, coating, calendaring — stays mostly the same regardless of cell format. Where things split is at the assembly stage.

Pouch Cell

Flexible Format, Popular for EV & Consumer

Stacking or Z-fold assembly. Aluminum laminate pouch sealing. Lightest form factor per kWh. Favored by Hyundai-Kia, SK Innovation. Requires careful vacuum sealing and edge trimming. Good for prototyping because tooling cost is lower.

Prismatic Cell

Preferred for EV & Grid Storage

Wound or stacked electrode assembly in aluminum/steel can. Dominant in China’s EV market (BYD Blade Battery is prismatic LFP). Easier to package into modules. Weld integrity on can sealing is critical. The format most energy storage projects default to.

Cylindrical Cell

High-Speed, Proven at Scale

18650, 21700, and the newer 4680 tabless design. Tesla’s original format. High winding speeds enable high-volume automation. Strong structural rigidity. The 4680 format is driving renewed investment in cylindrical cell lines because it reduces per-cell assembly costs.

Battery Chemistries

Lithium-Ion, Sodium-Ion & Solid-State Battery Production Support

Production Proven

LFP & NMC — The Workhorses

LFP runs at high solid content (70-75%) and is relatively tolerant of moisture. NMC — especially 811 and higher-nickel variants — needs moisture control below 1% RH and more precise temperature management during mixing. Both require thorough dispersion to avoid agglomerates that would cause coating defects. Our dual planetary mixers handle both, with automated recipe switching.

Emerging — R&D Active

Sodium-Ion & Solid-State — The Next Wave

Sodium-ion electrode formulations are similar enough to lithium that existing mixing equipment often works with minor parameter adjustments. Solid-state battery pastes are a different animal — much higher viscosity, lower solvent content, and often require specialized disperser configurations. We’ve supplied R&D mixing setups to three solid-state battery research labs in the past two years. The formulations keep changing, so flexibility is more important than raw throughput at this stage.

Frequently Asked Questions

About Battery Production Lines

What equipment goes into a complete battery production line?

The full chain from powder to finished pack includes: slurry mixing (that’s us — dual planetary mixers, dispersers, iron removal, transfer systems), electrode coating, calendaring, slitting, cell assembly (winding or stacking depending on format), electrolyte filling, formation and grading, and finally module/pack assembly with welding machines, BMS integration, and end-of-line testing.

How much does a lithium battery production line actually cost?

A lab or pilot line for R&D: $200K to $2 million. Small-scale production line (50-100 MWh/year): $3M to $15M. Mid-scale (500 MWh to 1 GWh): $20M to $80M. Full gigafactory-scale: we’re talking hundreds of millions to billions. Depending on throughput and automation level. We’ll give you a detailed breakdown once we know your target capacity and chemistry.

Can the same mixing equipment handle both LFP and NMC?

Yes — with caveats. The hardware is the same: dual planetary mixer plus disperser. NMC 811 and higher-nickel formulations need tighter moisture control (below 1% RH), so you’ll want enclosed mixing with nitrogen blanket and potentially dry-room installation. LFP is more forgiving. The mixing parameters differ — speed, time, sequence — but our automated recipe management handles that. One of our clients in Poland runs both chemistries on a single IDA system with no hardware changes. Just select the recipe and go. The automated CIP system handles decontamination between changeovers.

What’s the typical lead time from order to production?

Standard models — a 300L planetary mixer, for instance — ship in 8-14 weeks. Customize the controls, add a CIP system, or spec out a full integrated production line, and you’re looking at 16-24 weeks. Installation and commissioning add 2-4 weeks depending on site readiness. For a complete cell production line involving multiple vendors and process stages, plan 6-12 months from initial engineering to first production run. We’ve done faster — our India project went from signed contract to trial runs in about five months — but that was with a very prepared site.

Pouch vs. prismatic vs. cylindrical — which format should I build a line for?

That depends on your end market more than anything. EV OEMs are split — some prefer prismatic (BYD, CATL), others use pouch (Hyundai, some GM platforms), and Tesla pushed the cylindrical 4680 format. Energy storage mostly defaults to prismatic LFP. Consumer electronics leans pouch. But here’s the thing — the electrode slurry prep stage is the same regardless of format. Chemistry-specific, not format-specific. So if you start with our mixing system and later decide to add a different cell assembly line, the front end doesn’t change. We’ve had clients start with pouch pilot lines and later add cylindrical production using the same slurry prep equipment.

Do you provide installation and after-sales service internationally?

Yes. We dispatch engineers for on-site installation, commissioning, and operator training. We’ve done it in over 30 countries — the most recent international installs were in Poland, India, the US, and Thailand. After installation, we provide remote support through our service platform, periodic calibration visits, and spare parts within 3-5 business days for standard wear items. For urgent issues, we can typically get a technician on site within 48-72 hours depending on location. We also maintain partnerships with regional service providers in key markets for faster response.
