Electrode Manufacturing
Innovative energy solutions for lasting performance
At Matthews Engineering, we empower battery manufacturers to produce high-quality lithium-ion electrodes with precision, consistency, and efficiency. Our turnkey solutions for electrode and battery manufacturing are trusted by leading producers of EV batteries and capacitors worldwide.
At the heart of our offering are specialized calendering systems, engineered to meet the rigorous demands of high temperatures and extreme compaction forces in the roller gap. These systems ensure reliable electrode compaction, consistent coating, and superior surface quality — essential for optimizing energy density and battery performance.
Integrated automation and IIoT connectivity features provide real-time process stability and support future-ready, scalable production. With customizable configurations to meet diverse electrode formulations and thickness requirements, we deliver the precision solutions that drive innovation in energy storage and power the mobility of tomorrow.
Technical Rollers
Precision-engineered for superior electrode performance
Our precision-engineered calender rollers are vital to high-performance battery manufacturing, delivering the accuracy and reliability required for lithium-ion electrode production.
Designed to withstand extreme temperatures and significant compaction forces, our rollers ensure uniform pressure distribution and consistent material thickness across the web. This guarantees optimal electrode density, surface smoothness, and adhesion — key factors in enhancing energy storage capacity and overall battery efficiency.
Whether for new production lines or retrofits, our calender rollers integrate seamlessly into advanced calendering systems, supporting scalable, future-ready manufacturing.
