SOLID STATE BATTERY PILOT LINE

As a cutting-edge solution advancing secondary battery innovation, this Solid-State Battery Pilot Line is a configurable R&D lab-to-pilot platform. It enables manufacturers to efficiently validate solid-state cell technologies (e.g., material compatibility, process parameters)—and is optimized primarily for polymer-based solid-state pouch cells.

The line supports both stacking and winding assembly processes, delivering repeatable workflows for polymer electrolyte ASSB prototypes.

Note: For oxide- and sulfide-based solid-state chemistries, these systems are better served by our dedicated lab-scale equipment.

This pilot solution is tailored for R&D teams, battery engineers, and pilot manufacturing groups focused on scalable polymer ASSB validation and small-batch production.

After-Sales Engineering Support for Solid-State Battery Pilot Lines

 

Solid-state battery pilot lines require a fundamentally different after-sales support model compared to conventional liquid-electrolyte battery equipment. Our service framework is engineered specifically for all-solid-state and semi-solid battery pilot systems, where material behavior, interface stability, and process windows evolve continuously during development.

Rather than focusing on fixed mass-production benchmarks, our after-sales services are designed to support process exploration, parameter iteration, and pilot-scale validation across polymer-based, oxide-based, and sulfide-based solid-state battery technologies.

Installation & Pilot Commissioning

Installation and pilot commissioning are conducted at the process-system level, ensuring the entire solid-state battery pilot line is ready for controlled experimentation, material evaluation, and iterative process development.

Commissioning focuses on:

  • Process route alignment
    Validation of the intended solid-state process flow, including solid electrolyte preparation (mixing, synthesis, or precursor handling), electrode and electrolyte layer formation routes, interface consolidation logic, and pilot-defined cell enclosure strategies.
  • Parameter window verification
    Verification of critical process windows affecting solid-state systems, such as material homogeneity, layer thickness stability, interface pressure or temperature conditions, and atmosphere control requirements (dry-room or inert environment).
  • Cross-process coupling validation
    Assessment of interactions between material preparation, layer formation, and cell-forming steps to ensure repeatable behavior at pilot scale, rather than fixed mass-production targets.
  • Pilot reproducibility confirmation
    Initial trial runs focused on process repeatability, adjustability, and data reliability—supporting iterative R&D cycles for polymer-based, oxide, sulfide, or semi-solid battery systems.
  • Commissioning outcomes emphasize process controllability and scalability insight, forming a reliable foundation to bridge the gap between lab-scale concepts and pilot-scale validation.

Operator Training & Technical Guidance

(For Solid-State R&D & Pilot Teams)

Training and technical guidance are designed specifically for solid-state battery R&D engineers, pilot-line operators, and process developers, emphasizing understanding of material behavior and process interactions rather than routine equipment operation.

Training scope includes:

  • Solid-state process logic understanding
    Interpretation of how material properties, layer formation conditions, and interface treatments influence cell-level performance, stability, and yield at pilot scale.
  • Parameter adjustment methodology
    Guidance on adjusting process parameters in response to material changes, formulation updates, or experimental objectives—supporting rapid iteration without compromising pilot consistency.
  • Environment and contamination control awareness
    Best practices for managing moisture sensitivity, atmosphere control, and cross-contamination risks inherent to solid-state and semi-solid battery development.
  • Pilot troubleshooting frameworks
    Structured approaches to diagnosing process instability, material inconsistency, or interface-related issues, based on process data rather than equipment fault assumptions.
  • Training emphasizes process cognition and decision-making, enabling teams to independently refine solid-state battery pilot workflows as materials and cell architectures evolve.
