What Is an Automatic Pouch Cell Degassing and Forming Machine?
An automatic pouch cell degassing and forming machine is essential for removing gases generated during the formation process and completing final sealing, edge trimming, folding, and sizing of pouch cells. It ensures cell safety, consistency, and dimensional accuracy. Our system is fully automated, requiring only one operator, and integrates seamlessly with upstream formation equipment and downstream assembly lines.
