IDEEL project: Industry-relevant scaling of laser drying processes for lithium-ion batteries is within reach
Innovative process technology enables energy-efficient drying of anodes and cathodes while at the same time reducing space requirements
As part of the IDEEL research project (Implementation of Laser Drying Processes for Economical & Ecological Lithium-Ion Battery Production), project partners from industry and research are developing a laser drying process for the more climate-friendly and economical serial production of lithium-ion batteries. Now, for the first time, the process has been successfully scaled up to a coating and drying speed of 5 m/min in a continuous process, proving that industrial implementation is technically possible and economically viable.
Mülheim-Kärlich, 09.04.2024 – As part of the IDEEL research project, Fraunhofer ILT has succeeded for the first time this year in scaling up the laser drying process in an R2R (roll-to-roll) system from Coatema GmbH to a web speed of 5 m/min and demonstrating 2-stage laser drying. This doubling of the web speed (compared to the previous year) was made possible using laser beam sources and drying optics specially developed for the requirements of laser drying by Laserline. High-precision thermal cameras from Optris in combination with a laser power control system specially developed for this process ensure homogeneous drying. In combination with the short response time of the laser beam sources applied, this control concept enables highly dynamic process control. Furthermore, the thermographic images also enable reliable detection of defects in the electrodes - such as variations in layer thickness or unwanted particles in the layers.

Retrofittable electrochromic films for windows and glass facades control light incidence
Controlling light and heat radiation through windows and glass facades at the push of a button, saving energy and still maintaining a clear view? Switchable electrochromic films that turn dark but remain transparent are expected to make this possible in the future.
The fact that this can also be retrofitted in existing buildings is to be demonstrated by the joint project "EnOB: FLEX-G 4.0 - Technologies for innovative switchable films as a retrofit solution for energy-saving windows and glass facades" (funding reference: 03EN1048), which is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Action BMWK.
Coordinated by the Fraunhofer Institute for Organic Electronics, Electron Beam and Plasma Technology FEP, the project will work with six other partners to advance the state of the art to the prototype stage over the next four years. In doing so, the project aims to kill two birds with one stone - on the one hand, the windows of a Dresden school are to be retrofitted, and on the other, the pupils are to be actively involved in the technology development as a contribution to promoting career orientation.

IDEEL Project: Manufacture of laser-dried anodes and LFP cathodes achieved first time in a roll-to-roll process
The IDEEL research project aims to introduce a laser drying process as a more climate-friendly and economical method for the volume production of lithiumion batteries.
Laser drying in a roll-to-roll process makes the series production of lithium-ion batteries significantly more sustainable and economical.
For this purpose, a highpower diode laser with zoom optics was integrated into a film coating system in the IDEEL research project.
© Fraunhofer ILT, Aachen, Germany.
Within this context, it has now been possible to produce laserdried anodes and LFP cathodes in a roll-to-roll process for the first time. The innovative manufacturing process significantly reduces energy consumption in electrode production and at the same time enables the drying speed to be doubled.

Coatema and SALD announce partnership on industrial Atomic Layer Deposition at CES 2022
7.1.2022 Dormagen / Eindhoven (ots)
Die Technologieschmiede SALD BV und der Maschinenbauer Coatema wollen die Technologie „Spatial Atomic Layer Deposition” (SALD) in die Massenproduktion bringen.
The tech-startup SALD BV and the mechanical and plant engineering company Coatema Coating Machinery GmbH announced a far-reaching development partnership at the CES 2022 innovation fair in Las Vegas last week. The common goal is to use the „Spatial Atomic Layer Deposition" (SALD) technology for industrial volume roll-to-roll production plants. In an R-2-R process („roll-to-roll”), a flexible base material is unrolled, a layer is coated or printed and the web is rolled up again, like the printing process of a newspaper.
Combined with the proprietary SALD technology, it is now possible to make nano-thin coatings with defined properties and functions in mass volume on the roll. Mass volume coating is essential for flexible electronic components, packaging films, and new solar and battery industry types.
In the first step, SALD BV and Coatema want to focus on battery technology, electrolysers and fuel cells. The new R2R process is particularly well suited for cost-effective mass production on a large scale.

COMPAMED 2018
COMPAMED is the trade fair for suppliers and manufacturers of medical technologies in Düsseldorf / Germany from 12 - 15 November 2018. This year Coatema will be presenting its new alliance COMEDCO at IVAM Joint-Pavilion in Hall 08A, Booth No. F19. Coating and Converting combined:
Reaching your objective fast and safe with a new alliance: COMEDCO. The new alliance assists pharmaceutical companies with their start into the manufacturing and packaging process of transdermal dressings and oral dispersible films. The technology leaders Coatema Coating Machinery GmbH and OPTIMA life science GmbH are behind COMEDCO with their expertise in converting and coating with pharmaceutical medicines.
Today’s technology offers new methods to administer medication. Pills and syringes will remain; however, there are many reasons to expand how to administer medications. An example is older people in need of care who have difficulty swallowing and where pills might not safely reach the intended “target”. Or illnesses, which may require frequent shots. Cases like these require alternative solutions that are still effective but more convenient for the patient.

Visit by Minister of Economy of North-Rhine Westfalia Andreas Pinkwart at Coatema
+++++ PRESS RELEASE +++++
Visit by Minister of Economy of North-Rhine Westfalia Andreas Pinkwart
Dormagen, 20 Juli 2018 – Global acting German Company Coatema has 48 employees and is very successful for over 40 years. The family owned business in second generation has experience in coating, laminating and printing with its core business in custom made machinery and machinery from Lab to Fab. New Technologies and cooperations with other middle-class companies have made Coatema to one of the market leaders world wide.
The focus is on high tech markets, world class full-service and a versatile R&D centre for coating, printing and laminating. This enables Coatema to offer complete Lab to Fab technologies.
In March 2018, Coatema has been honored by the Network Future through Innovation. As a finalist in cooperation with the Fraunhofer ISC. The project honored is about a cost efficient electrochromic film for smart windows.
Minister Pinkwart was very impressed of the innovation made by Coatema.
During his summer journey through North-Rhine-Westfalia visiting companies, he decided to visit also Coatema and to get to know more about this innovative company. The company gave him an overwiev about their strategy in innovation and current status of R&D projects. A tour through the Coatemas R&D Center was guided by the Coatema management team. Pinkwart said: „Innovation through cooperation is the competence of Coatema. I was excited about the latest idea of an „open Fab“. This is a platform where different cross-sectional technologies get together and interchange. It shall be used by all middle-class companies and would improve business conditions in general in the state of North-Rhine-Westfalia.”

COMEDCO
+++++ PRESS RELEASE +++++
COMEDCO – the complete solution for transdermal dressings and oral dispersible films
A new alliance: Coating and converting combined
Reaching your objective fast and safe with a new alliance: COMEDCO. The new alliance assists pharmaceutical companies with their start into the manufacturing and packaging process of transdermal dressings and oral dispersible films. The technology leaders Coatema Coating Machinery GmbH and OPTIMA life science GmbH are behind COMEDCO with their expertise in converting and coating with pharmaceutical medicines.
Today’s technology offers new methods to administer medication. Pills and syringes will remain; however, there are many reasons to expand how to administer medications. An example is older people in need of care who have difficulty swallowing and where pills might not safely reach the intended “target”. Or illnesses, which may require frequent shots. Cases like these require alternative solutions that are still effective but more convenient for the patient.
It also makes sense to transport the substances as close as possible directly to the affected area during administering. A lower drug concentration and less stress to the gastrointestinal tract are additional advantages to choose transdermal dressings or oral dispersible films.
A higher demand in oral dispersible film (ODF) and transdermal dressings (TDS – transdermal systems) is already apparent for the machine manufacturing industry, especially in the Asian and U.S. market.
