Swedish high-pressure systems manufacturer Quintus Technologies has engineered its new series QIB 300 and QIB 600 Warm Isostatic Presses to validate processes for volume manufacturing of all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs).
Warm Isostatic Pressing delivers high-density, defect-free structures and higher conductivity than other methods, according to Quintus. The technology also allows for simultaneous densification of multi-layered cells, increasing capacity and reducing processing cost per kWh.
Quintus designed the WIP series specifically for pilot-scale ASSB production. It supports pressures up to 600 MPa and temperatures up to 145° C to achieve optimal compaction and bonding. Horizontal loading enables fast, automated batch processing and high throughput, and customizable fixtures optimize cell loading, improve pack density and reduce cost per cell. The system’s compact, efficient footprint is designed to minimize installation time and operating costs.
Quintus offers application expertise and lifecycle support to support customers. At the company’s Battery Application Centers, engineers provide assistance in material testing, process optimization and system integration. The Quintus Care Program delivers tailored service plans to maximize uptime.
“The shift to all-solid-state batteries will redefine mobility and energy storage—but it can only succeed with manufacturing technologies that deliver consistency, safety and scalability,” said Johan Hjärne, CEO of Quintus Technologies. “Our QIB 300 and 600 series presses reduce technical risk and time-to-market and offer better economics per kilowatt hour of battery capacity, giving the industry the confidence and tools it needs to move from research breakthroughs to real-world industrial production.”
