Pouch Cell Pilot Line – Modular R&D Production Line for Pouch Cell Prototyping & Small Batches
What Is a Pouch Cell Pilot Line?
A pouch cell pilot line bridges the gap between laboratory coin cells and full‑scale production. It allows battery developers to validate materials, optimize processes, and produce small quantities of pouch cells for testing. Our line features modular stations that can be reconfigured for different cell sizes and chemistries (LFP, NMC, LCO, solid‑state). Each station is designed for manual or semi‑automatic operation, balancing flexibility with reproducibility.
