Lithium Battery Electrode Roll Press Machine Industry Chain Analysis

Key Development Trends

Dry Electrode Roll Press Equipment        

In 2020, the introduction of the 4680 full-tab large cylindrical battery brought dry electrode technology into the spotlight. Dry electrode technology refers to the process of mixing powdery active materials, conductive agents, and little to no binder using physical or chemical methods, then forming them into self-supporting or non-self-supporting films, which are used as positive and negative electrodes or solid electrolytes in lithium-ion batteries. As one of the key technologies for the 4680 large cylindrical battery, dry electrode technology has considerable advantages over wet processes in terms of reducing battery costs and improving battery performance. It is considered the ideal process for semi-solid, all-solid-state, and 46-series large cylindrical batteries.

Dry electrode technology does not require equipment for coating, baking, or solvent recovery, effectively reducing equipment costs and factory footprint, while saving on solvent costs at the raw material end. LGES, a South Korean company, has stated that dry electrode mass production could lower battery costs by 17%-30%. Dry electrode technology also offers advantages in several battery performance metrics. Typically, lithium-ion battery electrodes are made using coating or slurry casting processes (wet processes), which consume large amounts of energy to remove solvents and can cause residual solvent issues in the electrodes, affecting battery lifespan. The binder dissolved on the surface of the active material increases the battery's resistivity, thus reducing the energy density and power density of the battery and making the electrode more susceptible to deformation and wrinkles. In contrast, dry electrode technology simplifies the process, produces thicker electrodes without solvents or drying, and allows for tighter contact between active carbon particles and conductive agents, leading to higher electrode density, better conductivity, and higher capaci

Currently, lithium batteries primarily use wet electrode manufacturing processes, while dry electrode manufacturing is becoming an important direction for market development. Roll-pressing techniques for film formation are a key focus of research. As the demand for high-performance batteries in electric vehicles and energy storage systems continues to grow, the market demand for dry electrode roll press equipment will persist. It is expected that in the coming years, as dry electrode technology becomes more widespread, the market share of related equipment will further expand.

Roll Press Machine Intelligence        

With the rising demand for automation and intelligence, many companies are investing heavily in the development of next-generation intelligent control systems. For example, Naknor is investing approximately $4.5 million in 2023 to develop precise control technology for battery electrode roll pressing. The core goal of this research is to achieve higher precision online control and more flexible parameter adjustments, particularly in thickness measurement and pressure control. By using advanced sensors, data collection systems, and AI algorithms, it is possible to achieve real-time, precise monitoring of electrode material thickness and automatically adjust the roll press machine's operational parameters.

For example, the introduction of an optical thickness real-time monitoring system: Traditional roll-press processes rely on manual adjustments and mechanical controls, which can lead to fluctuations in electrode thickness, thereby affecting battery performance and consistency. By integrating optical thickness monitoring, the system can continuously track electrode thickness changes during the roll-pressing process, automatically adjust the roller pressure, and ensure that the electrode thickness stays within the desired range. This enhances the consistency and quality of the battery.

The adoption of such intelligent technologies not only improves the automation level of the equipment but also provides more precise control for production lines. However, further development is needed to establish highly accurate, intelligent control models for the rolling process, create process databases and big data optimization strategies, and establish quality control mechanisms for the electrode sheets. This will enable precise control of the lithium battery electrode rolling process and ensure stable operation of the continuous rolling lines, ultimately improving electrode precision. Additionally, the development of visualized monitoring of the electrode manufacturing process and predictive risk forecasting for equipment, as well as the concept of digital twins from physical to digital models, represents a major development direction for roll-press equipment and processes.

Driving Factors

Continued Expansion of Lithium Battery Production and Upstream Equipment Demand        

The global lithium battery market is currently undergoing rapid expansion, driven primarily by the increasing demand for power batteries in electric vehicles (EVs) and energy storage systems (ESS). According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), the penetration rate of new energy passenger vehicles in major automotive markets is still relatively low, indicating significant growth potential. As sales of electric vehicles continue to rise, battery manufacturers are ramping up their production capacities, which in turn boosts the demand for upstream lithium battery equipment, especially for roll press machines used in electrode production.

Data from EV Tank shows that global lithium-ion battery shipments have increased year over year since 2014. In 2024, shipments are projected to reach 1545.1 GWh, reflecting a 28.5% year-on-year growth. With the rapid expansion of the global electric vehicle market, demand for lithium batteries will continue to surge. EY forecasts that by 2030, global lithium-ion battery shipments will reach 4735 GWh, with a 5-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 25.6%. This massive demand directly drives the growth of lithium battery production equipment, particularly upstream devices such as roll press machines.

In this context of rapid capacity expansion, roll press machines are becoming a vital component of battery production lines. These machines play a crucial role in ensuring the high density and uniformity of electrode materials, which is essential for improving the overall performance of batteries. As the global lithium battery production skyrockets, the roll press equipment market is expanding, making it a key growth area in the lithium battery equipment supply chain.

Roll Press Equipment Technological Upgrades and Market Evolution        

As the lithium battery market continues to evolve, the technology behind roll press machines is undergoing frequent upgrades. Upgrading existing equipment has become a critical need for battery manufacturers. While the typical lifespan of roll press machines is 8 to 10 years, the technology iteration cycle has been shortened to 1.5 to 2 years due to continuous advancements. To meet the growing production demands and technical requirements, equipment manufacturers are focusing on providing ongoing technical support and upgrade services to help customers enhance production efficiency and product quality.

This demand is driving the accelerated replacement cycle for roll press machines and fostering the development of automation and intelligence. By incorporating more advanced technologies, manufacturers can help battery producers achieve breakthroughs in improving production precision, reducing energy consumption, and increasing overall production efficiency.

As a result, lithium battery equipment manufacturers are strengthening their after-sales service teams to offer comprehensive equipment upgrade solutions. This not only boosts the pace at which roll press machines are replaced but also accelerates the shift toward more automated and intelligent systems. This technological shift is critical for the battery industry, as it supports the industry's broader goals of improving product quality, reducing energy consumption, and enhancing the efficiency of production lines.
