Notice Title

Pouch Cell Equipment

Notice Description

UKBIC is actively developing a new Flexible Pilot Line (FPL) facility designed to meet the needs of customers who are not yet positioned to utilise the existing high-volume Industrial Scale-up Line (ISL). This cutting-edge FPL facility is being created with versatility in mind, enabling UKBIC to offer a valuable intermediary step for companies in the process of scaling up their battery manufacturing capabilities. The new FPL facility will feature advanced electrode production equipment, which includes processes such as mixing, coating, calendering, and slitting.
