two.1.4) Short description

Extrusion Mixing Equipment is required to allow UKBIC to produce Anode and Cathode slurries for use on its in-house Coating Processes. The Mixing equipment will be installed in a new internal Clean Room facility to UKBIC.

UKBIC currently have Mixing equipment in its Volume Industrialisation Line allowing for a segregated Mixing of Anode and Cathode material, however the size of the equipment is designed for Electrode Material at high levels of maturity and/or at mass production scale. UKBIC is looking to install smaller equipment to support customers at a lower maturity level and allow for a wider range of chemistries. A flexible and modular solution is required to enable UKBIC to be less restricted in its Process Equipment offering and for a more Research and Development focused approach to Mixing albeit on a scale larger than lab-based systems.

UKBIC will consider procurement of one or two Extrusion Mixing Plants wherein the technical content will be refined to differentiate between the areas. These will supplement two off intensive Mixing plants already existing within FIL.
