Laboratory Calender GK 300 L for Battery Research & DevelopmentEngineered for precision in battery electrode R&D
Innovation in battery research
Accelerate electrode development with lab-scale precision
Designed to replicate industrial calendering conditions in a compact lab environment, this machine empowers battery R&D teams to fine-tune process parameters, analyze material behavior, and optimize cell performance — all before scale-up.
Purpose-Built for Electrode Materials
From graphite anodes to cathodes and solid-state films, this system handles the full range of battery electrode materials. Its dual-position (vertical or horizontal) configuration ensures flexible integration into lab environments, making it ideal for dry electrode studies, binder system evaluations, and separator trials.
Realistic Process Replication
Simulate roll-to-roll calendering with precision. The system supports line speeds up to 5 m/min and delivers up to 15 tons of compaction force with ±1 µm gap accuracy. It’s the perfect environment for replicating pressure, thickness, and mechanical characteristics relevant to production-scale battery lines.
Expandable and Configurable for Battery R&D
The calender can be configured with components such as rewinders, unwinders, heated rollers, and cutting units. An optional electrohydraulic upgrade with a mobile control panel gives you advanced control over pressure profiles and gap settings — ideal for evaluating densification behavior or developing new layering techniques.
