Electrode slitters

Customized electrode slitters for Gigafactories, pilot lines or lab scale

We offer a complete range of specifically designed slitter with different output capacities and automation level according to your needs.

Our flexible and reliable electrode slitters have been designing to transform mother rolls of electrode materails (anode and cathode), Primed Coated Copper or Primed Coated aluminum, into strips from 70mm to 90mm width and rewind them on individual cores.

Depending on your activity and process, we offer three kind of equipment:

  • Infinity | Gigafactory: Non-Stop (Turret type) & high speed equipment for Giga Factories operations
  • Alpha | Pilot Line: Compact versatile and adaptable equipment. Easy to use, it meets all Pilot Line requirements
  • Astrée | Lab scale: Dedicated to R&D scale. Very compact slitter for product development
