Highly efficient battery production thanks to ideal production conditions

weisstechnik equips pilot plant for battery production with drying technology

Electromobility is booming. That's why the BMW Group is building a new pilot plant for the production of lithium-ion battery cells in Parsdorf near Munich. Following the already successful collaboration regarding the supply of a drying room for a research facility in 2019, weisstechnik has now also been awarded the contract for this important pilot project. The focus is on safe and at the same time particularly efficient air dehumidification of the production rooms. This is because the production of the extremely dry process atmosphere needed can require up to 40 % of the energy required for battery production.
 

weisstechnik went straight into detailed planning when the contract was signed. With the help of an optimised assembly process, this will be completed on schedule by the beginning of 2022 so that production, delivery and installation of the plant can begin immediately. The commissioning of the individual rooms will take place successively and should be completed by the end of 2022, but weisstechnik will continue to take care of the systems with regular maintenance and servicing work, including after conclusion of the project. weisstechnik has a unique service network that ensures high plant availability with short travel distances and fast response times.
