Battery materials: Furnace systems from AICHELIN KILNPARTNER

Industrial plants execute thermo-chemical processes such as the calcination of precursor cathode active material (pCAM) into cathode active material (CAM), or the purification and heat treatment of carbon-based anode active materials (AAM).

AICHELIN KILNPARTNER provides innovative and modern kiln solutions and services according to customer requirements. The offer to our customers includes complete kiln systems (including automation) for calcination of CAM (both NMC and LFP), as well as anode active material (natural and synthetic graphite).

Our Kiln Solutions and Concepts:

2-Level Roller Hearth Kiln
