## Summary

The UK Battery Industrialisation Centre has awarded a contract for Coating and Drying Equipment for its Flexible Industrialisation Line (FIL). This equipment is crucial for producing Anode and Cathode electrodes for in-house cell assembly. The awarded supplier is Werner Mathis AG. The procurement method was open, and the contract value amounts to 6,316,181.00 CHF. The procurement process has been completed, and the equipment will be installed in a new internal Clean Room facility at the UK Battery Industrialisation Centre in Coventry, UK.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses involved in supplying industrial machinery to cater to the specific needs of the UK Battery Industrialisation Centre. The Centre's focus on Research & Development and the creation of new electrode manufacturing processes indicate a preference for suppliers capable of providing flexible and modular solutions. Companies with expertise in coatings, drying equipment, and solvent emission control systems are well-suited to compete in this tender. The Centre's requirement for equipment that supports lower maturity processes opens doors for businesses offering innovative and scalable solutions in the electrical machinery sector.

## Notice

This is a contract award notice Description of the original requirement below: 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. Coating and Drying Equipment is required to allow UKBIC to produce Anode and Cathode electrodes for use on its in-house cell assembly lines. The Coating & Drying equipment will be installed in a new internal Clean Room facility to UKBIC. UKBIC currently have Coating and Drying equipment in its Volume Industrialisation Line allowing for a segregated Coating of Anode and Cathode slurries, 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 Coating & Drying albeit on a scale larger than lab-based systems. Further to the general equipment requirement it necessary to offer a solvent/abatement system internal/external to the UKBIC facility to allow for safe solvent emission control and management from the drying process.
