Laboratory Calender GK 300 L for Battery Research & Development

Engineered 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.
