## Summary

The UK Battery Industrialisation Centre is procuring Mixing Equipment for its Flexible Industrialisation Line project, which aims to scale up electrode manufacture. The procurement stage is an award, with the contract period starting on March 31, 2023, and ending on September 30, 2024. The deadline for the tender period was February 3, 2023. The procurement falls under the services category and involves a value of £1,400,000. The location of the delivery address is in England, United Kingdom.

This tender for Mixing Equipment presents an opportunity for suppliers in the electrical machinery, apparatus, equipment, and consumables industry as well as industrial machinery providers. Businesses capable of providing mixing solutions compatible with electrode manufacturing processes from lab scale to high-volume production are well-suited to compete. The UK Battery Industrialisation Centre's focus on flexible equipment and next-generation electrode manufacturing processes creates opportunities for companies specialising in innovative solutions for electrode production and processing.

## Notice

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. Mixing Equipment is required to allow UKBIC to produce Anode and Cathode slurries for use on its in-house Coating Processes. The Mixing equipment will be installed in a new internal Clean Room facility to UKBIC UKBIC currently have Mixing equipment in its Volume Industrialisation Line allowing for a segregated Mixing of Anode and Cathode material, however the size of the equipment is designed for Electrode Material at high levels of maturity and/or at mass production scale. UKBIC is looking to install smaller equipment to support customers at a lower maturity level and allow for a wider range of chemistries. A flexible and modular solution is required to enable UKBIC to be less restricted in its Process Equipment offering and for a more Research and Development focused approach to Mixing albeit on a scale larger than lab-based systems.
