Fluidizing
Model EV
Metering cathode and anode materials is a critical step in battery production. Inconsistent flow, adhesion, and settling can lead to uneven distribution, impacting battery quality and performance.
The Young Industries Model EV Rotary Valve is your solution for precise, reliable metering of cohesive battery materials. We've combined our rugged rotary valve design with our innovative TransFlow® aeration technology to prevent sticking and ensure consistent flow in even the most demanding conditions.
The Model EV Valve is engineered to handle carbon black, graphite, nickel-based powders, and lithium-based powders with ease.
Features & Options
Say goodbye to the headaches of metering challenging battery materials. The Model EV Rotary Valve ensures smooth, consistent flow, even with the most stubborn powders.
The rotor pockets are lined with TransFlow®, a porous material that fluidizes the material when low-pressure compressed gas or air is supplied to its backside. This creates a non-stick surface, ensuring reliable material release and preventing blockages. The result? Increased production efficiency, reduced downtime, and of course: improved battery quality.
While designed for EV battery manufacturing, the Model EV's versatility shines in any industry where cohesive materials pose a challenge.
