Pouch Cell Hot Press Hi‑Pot Testing Machine – 2T Pressure, ±0.02mm Parallelism for Soft‑Pack Battery Shaping & Insulation Testing
Product Overview – Pouch Cell Hot Press Hi‑Pot Testing Machine
PPCELL’s pouch cell hot press Hi‑Pot testing machine is a precision pouch cell shaping and insulation testing equipment designed for soft‑pack lithium battery cells. This high precision battery cell hot press and insulation tester integrates hot pressing (adjustable force 50–2000KG, temperature RT–130°C) with Hi‑Pot testing (0–500V, 1.0–5.0s) in a single system.
As a complete automatic pouch cell shaping and Hi‑Pot test equipment, it achieves ≤±0.02mm platen parallelism, 2T max pressure, and adjustable dwell time (0–30 min) – ensuring cell thickness consistency and electrical safety before final assembly. Ideal for R&D labs, pilot lines, and high‑volume production of soft‑pack lithium batteries[reference:9].
Key Features – High Precision Hot Press and Insulation Tester
- Integrated Hot Pressing & Hi‑Pot Testing: Combines thermal shaping and electrical insulation testing in a single operation – eliminates separate equipment and reduces handling.
- High Precision Parallelism: ≤±0.02mm platen parallelism ensures uniform pressure distribution across the entire cell surface.
- Adjustable Pressure & Speed: 50–2000KG steplessly adjustable force with tunable downward speed for different cell types and materials.
- Precise Temperature Control: RT–130°C adjustable with ±3°C control accuracy and compensation setting; over/under temperature alarm.
- Programmable Dwell Time: 0–30 minutes adjustable holding time for optimized shaping and insulation testing.
- Hard Copper Platens: Durable heated platens with optional heating shut-off for flexible operation.
- Flexible Integration: Can be used as a stand‑alone manual/semi‑auto unit or integrated into automated production lines.
- Customizable Worktable: 350×270mm worktable size with customization options available.

Process Benefits & Applications
- Consistent Cell Thickness: Precise pressure and parallel platens ensure uniform electrode stack height.
- Improved Safety: Hi‑Pot testing identifies internal shorts before final assembly, preventing field failures.
- Reduced Internal Voids: Hot pressing removes air bubbles between layers, enhancing electrolyte wetting.
- Flexible Operation: Pressure, speed, temperature, and time are all adjustable for different cell sizes and materials.
- Easy Integration: Can be used as stand‑alone unit or integrated into automated lines.
Applications: Pouch cell assembly lines – post‑winding or post‑stacking shaping and electrical test; R&D laboratories – small‑batch cell development and process validation; Pilot production – medium‑volume manufacturing of soft‑pack batteries for EVs, drones, and energy storage.
