Precision Film casting systems with Venturi drying 

FILM CASTING SYSTEMS

For an ultra-efficient continuous production and the ability to cast very thin films (thicknesses from 10-300 µm), ceramic tape and membranes for tomorrow’s batteries, fuel cells, MLCCs and more.

BATTERY TECHNOLOGY

Produce microporous membranes of a quality unattainable by any other method:

IPCO film casting technology can give you high-quality, stable battery separators in a continuous production.

Our steel belt casting process delivers a homogeneous layer of liquid product onto a steel belt with outstanding consistency of thickness and high level of tolerance.

Control the line speed, temperature distribution, moisture and air speed, giving you greater efficiency, higher production rates and superior quality.

TECHNOLOGY TO MATCH YOUR INNOVATION

Our steel belts can help you manufacture high-precision products, such as films and ceramic tapes, and the membranes used in Li-Ion batteries, often no more than 10 microns thick.

As well as battery separators and ceramic tape, our casting and drying technologies are used to produce:

CPI (Colorless Polyimide)
PVOH (Polyvinyl alcohol)
CE (Mixed cellulose ester)
These have a huge variety of uses in the electronics, pharmaceutical and medical industries, plus many more.

Steel belt film casting

IPCO’s steel belt-based film casting process ensures the delivery of a consistent and homogeneous layer of liquid product onto a steel belt, providing exceptional thickness uniformity. The cast layer is then efficiently transported through the Venturi drying unit, resulting in a stable, high-quality product.

Steel belt membrane manufacturing

IPCO’s steel belt-based membrane manufacturing also uses a casting system that ensures a uniform layer of liquid product onto a steel belt. The cast layer is subsequently conveyed through the steel belt unit’s conditioning sections, yielding a stable and high-quality product with remarkable efficiency.

Venturi dryer for speed and quality

Our Venturi dryer technology offers a substantial enhancement in product quality and thermal/heat transfer performance compared to traditional dryers. Notably, it contributes to a significant reduction in the length of the drying section, thanks to the availability of a wider belt (up to 2m) and an even distribution of airflow across the width. This leads to an increase in production capacity, with customers achieving double the speed.
