More innovation on 50 percent less production space

Dürr and GROB present new concept factory for battery cell production

Bietigheim-Bissingen, June 3, 2025 – Less space and energy requirements, but more performance and the highest battery cell quality – that is the approach taken by engineering companies Dürr and GROB for their new concept factory for lithium-ion battery cells. At this year's “The Battery Show Europe” trade fair in Stuttgart, the two partners will be the largest exhibitors, showcasing the technical innovations that make this possible. Key technologies include dry coating of the electrodes, which does not require a drying process, and powerful Z-folder technology for cell assembly with integrated notching.

The two global companies Dürr and GROB have been cooperating in the field of production technology for lithium-ion batteries since 2022. The aim is to jointly establish themselves as system suppliers of battery production equipment in Europe and North America. “With our expanded portfolio of highly available machines and systems, we jointly cover almost the entire value chain for battery cell production with our own technologies,” says German Wankmiller, CEO of the GROB Group.

In addition to a classic production layout with wet coating, the partners have developed a concept factory with dry coating and the new Z-folder technology: "Our concept factory, and in particular the dry coating process, represent the next generation of battery cell production. Thanks to powerful and innovative technologies, production requires 50 percent less space and energy. For our customers, this means significantly higher space efficiency and lower operating costs," explains Dr. Jochen Weyrauch, CEO of Dürr AG.

Efficient and sustainable dry coating 

Instead of conventional slurry, the Activated Dry Electrode® process uses a dry-mixed active material. This powder mixture is pressed into a free-standing film using calender machines, which is then laminated onto both sides of the collector foil. Compared to wet coating, this eliminates the drying process as well as the recovery and treatment of solvents – saving space, energy, and costs.

The free-standing film also offers advantages in terms of material efficiency, as excess film material can be completely returned to the production process before lamination onto the collector foil. After calendering, the coat weight can be measured directly, enabling better control of the coating thickness. The subsequent lamination onto the collector foil requires less force than calendering in the wet coating process, which means that the foil does not deform – improving its processability for downstream notching and stacking.

High-speed cell assembly 

With the new generation of Z-folders, which integrate the notching process, GROB achieves higher performance with less space. For particularly stable and reliable system technology, the separator is guided over a few deflection rollers with very even and low web tension. Thanks to a high-quality magazine buffer system for the electrodes, the system achieves 95 percent availability. 

Precise electrolyte filling with high pressure 

A process developed by Dürr enables battery cells to be filled in a single step without residual gas. Unlike the conventional process, the electrolyte is filled directly into the cells at up to 30 bar. The filling pressure is thus two to three times higher than the current industry standard. The process design enables precise dosing and shortens both the filling process and the subsequent penetration of the electrolyte into the active material. 

End-to-end digitalization 

The equipment technology from Dürr and GROB is complemented by end-to-end digital mapping of the production process. Even in the planning phase before production starts, a digital twin enables simulation of the entire factory and speeds up implementation on site. The data from the simulation flows into the MES/MOM software of Dürr’s subsidiary iTAC, which can be used to control and plan all production steps in battery manufacturing. Important functions here are traceability and quality analysis to avoid errors in production. This results in high overall equipment effectiveness.

Innovations in wet coating 

Dürr has also further optimized its technologies in terms of performance and energy efficiency in the classic wet coating process. One example is the automation of the coating station and the slot dies, which form a closed control loop for the layer thickness – resulting in faster production start-up and reduced scrap rate.

In the subsequent drying process, battery manufacturers can use laser dryers to achieve a 50% faster web speed and particularly energy-efficient drying. After drying, the electrode coating is densified using calendering machines. The machines from Dürr’s subsidiary Ingecal work with particular precision using “Dynamic Gap Control”: two sensors measure the distance between the two rollers with an accuracy of 0.5 µm. This results in a very uniform layer thickness, with no more force being applied than necessary. Dürr Ingecal's calenders are used for both wet coating and dry coating to compress the film.

At the Battery Show Europe 2025 from June 3 to 5, Dürr and GROB will be presenting their concept factory as a physical 3D model, along with other technologies from the field of battery production, at their joint booth E50 in Hall 10 of the Stuttgart Exhibition Center. 

Dürr will be appearing with a new name concept for the first time. Dürr is bringing together its products for electrode coating and electrolyte filling under the new name “X.Cellify.”
