Coating equipment for battery electrode R&D and pilot lines
FOM Technologies is pleased to announce that we have been selected to supply a slot-die coating line to Norwegian-based Morrow Batteries. The equipment will be installed in the “Battery Cell Factory 1” building, the first of four construction phases of their gigafactory in Arendal (Norway), which is dubbed “Battery Coast” in Norway.
Today, we are surrounded by various advanced battery chemistries and architectures, including nickel-based, lead acid-based, and lithium-based devices. While all these batteries play an essential role in modern life, Li-based devices are considered the most well-known and fastest-growing battery technology. They are widely used in rechargeable electronics such as mobile phones and laptops and are also the preferred chemistry for powering EVs and grid storage in the Green Transition.
Advanced Coating equipment for battery electrode R&D
At FOM, we provide the means for our clients to achieve remarkable accomplishments quickly. For example, we have created a cutting-edge coating method for use in the research and development of energy storage devices on a lab scale and at the pilot level.

Supporting the development at pilot scale
Scaling up technology is one of the most significant steps toward industrial production of battery electrodes and subsequent widespread adoption by automobile manufacturers. This will allow for greater energy storage capacity in vehicles. We at FOM have developed a one-of-a-kind modular platform that bridges the gap between battery research and development on a lab scale and production on a big scale. At the pilot scale level, the FOM ModuloR2R is the product that meets all of your needs. It gives a precise evaluation of the scalability of the battery electrode coating technology, as well as an in-depth understanding of the process parameters and their interactions on an industrial scale, in addition to providing a yield evaluation and in-situ quality control.
