M+W Group customer European Batteries opens first lithium ions battery factory

The plant engineer M+W Group (until 2009: M+W Zander) successfully locked the first order to the building lithium ions of a battery factory. In Varkaus (Finland) the Finnish battery manufacturer European Batteries Oy took his new factory with a large opening celebration in enterprise and began the quantity production. The new work in Varkaus has a surface of approximately 10,000 square meters and produces lithium ions battery cells and � systems with a yearly capacity of approximately 100 megawatt hours. Thus about 3000 all-electric cars can be equipped with lithium ions batteries. A possible Verdreifachtung of production is however already taken into account. In July 2009 the M+W Group had begun with planning and building of the pure and drying areas for the particularly sensitive phases of production. With an extremely low, kostanten humidity electrodes and separators are joined as well as the individual cells with electrolyte are filled. In order to ensure this, the M+W Group high speed Adsorptionsentfeuchter, air locks as well as steam-impermeable winding and Deckensysteme.Die M+W Group uses a concept for planning and the building of lithium ions battery factories developed, in which all production processes are bundled modular under a roof. Thereby substantial cost advantages can be obtained by multiple use of the building infrastructure. Thus for example the waste heat for the air dehumidification and air conditioning, developing with individual process steps, can be used.
