In battery manufacturing, air-operated double diaphragm (AODD) pumps are instrumental for various fluid-handling tasks. These pumps are utilized to transfer a range of substances critical to the battery production process, including chemicals, electrolytes, and solvents. One of the primary applications of these pumps is in the transfer of chemicals and electrolytes used in battery formulation. They efficiently move these substances from storage tanks to mixing units or directly into production lines. Their ability to handle corrosive and abrasive fluids makes them particularly suitable for this purpose.
Moreover, AODD pumps are adept at transferring slurries containing active materials like lithium, lead, or nickel. These slurries are integral to the battery manufacturing process, often requiring movement between different stages such as mixing, coating, or deposition.
Chemical Transfer and Handling in Battery Manufacturing
AODD pumps are pivotal for transferring and handling various chemicals crucial to the battery manufacturing process. These chemicals encompass electrolytes, acids, and other reactive substances fundamental to battery formulation. These pumps excel in moving these chemicals from storage tanks to mixing units or directly into production lines with precision and reliability.
Their capability to manage corrosive and abrasive fluids ensures the safe and efficient movement of chemicals throughout the manufacturing facility. Employing features such as leak detection systems and corrosion-resistant materials further enhances pumps’ suitability for chemical handling applications in battery manufacturing, promoting operational safety and product integrity.
