/ Aswentong/August 19, 2022 Guangzhou -- Recently, Bozhong Seiko and Honeycomb Energy reached an in-depth cooperation, to provide high-speed cutting and folding all-in-one machines for Yancheng Phase II base, with efficient cutting and folding technology to boost its capacity and demand.
In recent years, thanks to the global consensus on the dual-carbon goal, the new energy vehicle industry has entered the rapid development channel, combined with the global power system deep decarbonization demand for new energy storage, lithium battery industry has ushered in a historic development opportunity. According to the White Paper on China's Lithium Battery Industry Development Index released by the CCID Research Institute of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology in May this year, the global lithium battery market will reach 545GWh in 2021. Among them, the scale of China's lithium battery market is about 324GWh, accounting for 59.4% of the global market. In the fourth quarter of 2021, China's lithium industry development index reached 307.6, which increased more than three times in the past three years. Along with the accelerated demand growth, there is also the lithium equipment market. According to the data of GGII, the market scale of domestic lithium power production equipment in China will reach 57.5 billion yuan in 2021, doubling from 2020. Driven by national policies and external conditions, China's lithium battery industry and its related equipment market scale will continue to maintain rapid growth in the next few years.
At the same time, with the diversified demand for new energy vehicles, higher requirements are put forward for the safety, efficiency and driving range of batteries. Although the traditional winding technology has high efficiency and high quality, the limitation of size can not meet the production of the new generation of lithium batteries. The laminating process adopts the multi-pole parallel mode, which makes the internal resistance of the battery smaller and the charging efficiency higher. The heat generated in the charge-discharge cycle is relatively small and uniform, and the battery has higher safety. At the same time, the lamination process makes the internal space of the battery more fully utilized, and the battery energy density is relatively larger.
In 2019, Beehive Energy first entered the "stack era" and became the industry unicorn as a "dark horse". In the first half of 2022, Honeycomb Energy ranks among the top ten in the world in terms of power battery load. Up to now, it has built several power battery industry bases in Changzhou, Jiangsu Province, Shangrao, Jiangxi Province and Suining, Sichuan Province, with an astonishing 297GWh of capacity under construction.
In the current situation of rapid iteration of battery technology, enterprises need stable and innovative process upgrading as support if they want to achieve efficient capacity expansion. The Honeycomb energy and Bo Zhong Seiko cooperation to develop high-speed cutting and folding equipment focus on solving the laminating process in the production efficiency of the short board, the use of "double cutting" and automatic eight station design, the laminating efficiency from the traditional 260ppm to 480ppm. At the same time, the combination of die cutting and laminating process can reduce the operation of pole pieces, prevent secondary damage, and effectively avoid the problem of traditional laminating equipment to grab multiple pieces. It is worth mentioning that the industrial visual design system of the high-speed cutting and folding all-in-one machine in this project, which is responsible for detecting the defect and size of the pole piece and guiding the alignment of the stack piece, is completed by the Bozhong Seiko team. Some core components such as linear motor are also from the wholly-owned subsidiary company of Bozhong Seiko.
With more than 20 years of experience in the development and manufacturing of non-standard customized equipment in various fields, Bozhong Seiko has a natural advantage in equipment engineering refinement, timely response, fast delivery and other aspects. In 2021, Bozhong Seiko released the information of entering the industrial chain of Ningde Times for the first time through the semi-annual report of the listed company, and further focused on strategic fields to accelerate the in-depth layout of the new energy industry. < /p>Bozhong Seiko to maintain a consistent service spirit, always committed to higher customer focus and faster demand response speed to provide customers with more valuable services. The Honeycomb project, received customer demand on the same day, Bo Zhong Seiko quickly set up a project team composed of electrical, institutional, visual, software and other senior engineers, and went to the customer site research and exchange. Long battery, "double cutting" and other core requirements of equipment support strength and stability requirements are higher, Bozhong Seiko attaches great importance to this project, increase research and development investment, minimize the research and development period, improve the research and development effect. During the proofing of Honeycomb project, Suzhou suffered from months of epidemic control. Through comprehensive integration and resource mobilization, with the help of mature supply chain guarantee system, Bozhong Seiko overcame the difficulties and finally ensured the on-time delivery of the prototype.
