A question of getting the metering right

ProMinent has important solutions in store for the battery market

There is huge and growing demand for lithium-ion batteries and they are already shaping our everyday lives in key areas ranging from smartphones to electric vehicles. As battery usage grows, so too does the demand for optimum recycling processes as batteries contain valuable raw materials which we need to reuse. This is something which will be absolutely crucial in roughly 10 to 15 years from now when the batteries in the current fleet of electric vehicles come to the end of their useful life. When manufacturing the storage material, a precise recipe has to be followed and the right pH is essential. This also has a central role to play in battery recycling and needs to be accurate and consistent. Metering pumps and measuring and control technology from ProMinent provide reliable production processes for this sector.

Motor-Driven Metering Pumps

Precise compliance with the recipe thanks to motor-driven metering pumps from the sigma family (up to 1000 l/h). Due to a patented multi-layer safety diaphragm, these ensure excellent process reliability and can be controlled via a BUS system.
