Electrode Preparation System (E-PREP)
Automate Your Electrode Preparation for Superior Battery Research
The Electrode Preparation (E–PREP) System from Cellerate offers a fully automated solution for cutting, weighing, and measuring electrodes for coin cells and small pouch cells with unparalleled precision. Developed in collaboration with the Centre for Process Innovation (CPI), the E–PREP System streamlines your workflow, from material preparation to cell assembly, reducing manual handling and ensuring consistent, high-quality results every time.
System Features
Designed for Safety
Minimal manual handling reduces the risk of damaging delicate electrode coatings.
High Throughput Efficiency
Processes hundreds of samples per week, reducing manual workload and increasing lab productivity.
Seamless Integration
Prepared electrode discs are ready for direct insertion into the Cellerate Cell Assembly & Sealing System (CASS).
