Engineering Success Stories

• Upgrading and Expansion of the Competence Center. Comprehensive testing and piloting options – the link between the lab and large-scale production.

• Commissioning of the new assembly hall in Vreden
• Large plant orders for dry film production for batteries

• Large order of the development & construction of the world’s first large-scale production protoytyp for the production of a dry film for batteries.

• First attempts to apply the dry process of capacitor production to battery production.

• First participation of SAUERESSIG Engineering in a public research project on the subject of energy storage (FesKaBat).
• Project partner of Kontiflex: Development of a continuous process for the production of flexible bipolar plates by upgrading, developing and using multi-roller mill.

With those public founded projects, SAUERESSIG Engineering got the chance to establish itself as a competent partner in the German research landscape.

• New product area: Development of the laboratory calender based on the systems from large-scale production. This laboratory calender is used in R&D departments, universities and institutes.

• Saueressig has developed the world’s first large-scale production line for dry electrodes.
• Process development with customers for the design of a calender line for electrodes.

• Planning of the first large-scale production of lithium ion batteries in Germany by the company “Evonik Litarion GmbH”.
• Saueressig was awarded the contract for four calender lines for compacting cathode and anode electrodes with intermittent coating.
  A prerequisite for the order is a development for the compression of intermittently coated electrodes.

• First large-scale production of lithium ion batteries in Europe by “European Batteries OY”.
• Saueressig was awarded the contract for two calender lines for compressing cathode and anode electrodes and thus had the first reference systems on the market.
