Engineering architecture of PNT People and Technology battery equipment
People and Technology Inc. (PNT) is a leading South Korean industrial machinery builder specializing in world-class roll-to-roll (R2R) process automation and secondary battery manufacturing systems.
Delivering advanced machinery for electrode coating, calendering, slitting, and tab notching, PNT serves top-tier battery cell manufacturers worldwide.
The machine architecture incorporates ultra-rigid cast foundations, multi-axis servo synchronization, and responsive tension control systems.
High-precision slot-die heads and tandem calendering rolls enable mass fabrication of high-energy-density cathode and anode rolls with sub-micron thickness uniformity across the entire web.
Electrode coating, calendering and precision slitting standards
Electrode processing represents the critical front-end stage in lithium-ion battery cell manufacturing. PNT high-speed coaters apply active battery slurries onto aluminum and copper foils with web speeds reaching 120 m/min.
Non-contact air flotation ovens ensure scratch-free dual-sided drying across wide webs up to 1500 mm.
Integrated tandem roll presses apply high linear compaction forces reaching 6.4 ton/cm to achieve maximum electrode density.
High-speed slitting machines equipped with tungsten carbide rotary knives slit master coils into clean strips with burrs maintained below 3 um to prevent internal separator puncture.
Solvent-free dry electrode coating and solid-state battery technology
Anticipating the future of clean energy storage, PNT pioneered solvent-free Dry Coater machinery that eliminates organic solvents and energy-intensive drying ovens.
Active dry powders are fibrillated and hot-calendered directly onto current collector foils, cutting process energy overhead by up to 50% and dramatically shrinking factory footprint.
This dry electrode technology is engineered for high-nickel cathodes and next-generation solid-state battery cells, providing battery manufacturers with a sustainable roadmap to lower carbon intensity and lower capital cost per gigawatt-hour of cell capacity.
High-speed tab notching and automated electrode formatting
Cell manufacturing requires flawless tab shaping for subsequent winding or stacking. PNT tab notching equipment combines high-speed mechanical die punching with high-precision fiber laser cutting to produce current-collector tabs for prismatic and cylindrical cells without foil deformation.
High-resolution CCD optical inspection systems continuously verify tab dimensions, pitch spacing, and edge cleanliness at line speeds exceeding 100 m/min, instantly diverting out-of-tolerance sheets before assembly.
Cleanroom environmental standards and dust-free web transport
Manufacturing advanced lithium cells requires stringent moisture and dust control inside dry-room environments with dew points below minus 40 degrees Celsius.
PNT equipment features enclosed chambers, static eliminators, and integrated laminar airflow hoods to prevent metallic airborne contamination.
Roll-to-roll web handling integrates active suction nozzles and turbo brushes around all slitting and rewinding zones, ensuring pristine electrode cleanliness throughout high-speed transport.
