Case Study | Application of Villo’s Patented High-Efficiency Waste Compactor in Laser Notching

Project Background

As the global new energy industry rapidly develops, lithium battery production has become a key element in achieving a zero-carbon future. Safety is paramount in the production process, especially during cutting and welding operations, which generate large amounts of flammable and explosive dust. If not effectively managed, this dust poses a significant explosion risk to the entire workshop.

Villo has long been committed to developing industrial dust collection and explosion protection technology. As a long-term partner of leading lithium battery manufacturers, Villo has accumulated extensive experience in lithium battery production lines. To date, Villo has provided over 40,000 sets of equipment worldwide for processes including mixing, calendering, slitting, cutting, stacking, winding, busbar welding, and laser marking. These solutions include central dust collection and explosion-proof systems, as well as customized dust collectors, compression machines, and a series of explosion-proof dust collection equipment tailored to lithium battery production conditions.

Project Requirements

A large European battery manufacturer sought to improve its laser notching workshop's waste collection equipment to reduce dust residue, minimize explosion risks, and facilitate waste handling while reducing labor costs.

To comprehensively address the client's issues, Villo proactively responded, conducting multiple on-site visits and engaging in detailed discussions with on-site operators and workshop managers. Through repeated dialogue and exploration, the core needs of the client became clear:

  • Insufficient compression of waste by existing equipment, resulting in large, difficult-to-handle waste blocks.
  • The existing waste collection equipment tends to accumulate a significant amount of dust inside the frame, posing a high risk if not properly handled.
  • Complex equipment operation and prolong maintenance, leading to high labor costs and production downtime.
  • The need for equipment to have CE certification from an authoritative body to comply with local regulations.

Solution

Based on the workshop's actual conditions and the client's core needs, Villo designed an efficient waste collection solution using its patented high-efficiency waste compactor, aimed at fundamentally solving the current problems.

About Villo's Patented High-Efficiency Compression Machine

Villo's Waste Compactor, equipped with its own fanpower source, is specifically designed for waste collection, compression and dust removal. Upon entry, waste and dust are effectively separated. The waste is then efficiently collected and compressed into manageable blocks, while the dust undergoes thorough primary and secondary stage filtration, making it suitable for direct discharge (recycled back) into the workshop environment.

Features

Built-in Fan

The equipment has an integrated fan that actively draws in waste and dust, providing a reliable source of collection power.

Waste-Dust Separation

Waste and dust are efficiently separated within these paration chamber after entering the equipment. The waste is directed into the compression chamber, and the fine dust moves into the filter chamber, significantly reducing residual dust and enhancing safety.

High-Efficiency Compression

Utilizing a high-efficiency servo compression module (2.5 times more powerful than standard compressors), waste is compressed into regular-shaped blocks. This efficient compression also minimizes dust residue or dust confinement within the chamber, ensuring safer operation.

Filter Filtration

Dust undergoes two-stage filtration in the filter chamber, passing through both the PTFE filter element and a HEPA filter. The exhaust air cleanliness can reach Class 10,000 (H13 level or higher filters), making it safe for direct discharge into the workshop.

Enhanced Dust Collection

The high-volume design maximizes the collection ofdust into the collection box, significantly reducing the dust levels within the equipment, thereby enhancing operational safety.

Easy Recycling

The material separation design greatly reduces the likelihood of waste contamination, increasing its recycling value.

Continuous Operation

The equipment can operate continuously for 24 hours, reducing downtime and increasing production efficiency.

User-Friendly Operation

Equipped with an intelligent operating system, the equipment is easy to control via a PLC control panel, allowing real-time monitoring of equipment status and reducing labor costs.

Explosion-Proof Accessories

The separate compartments for waste and dust facilitate the inclusion of inert powder sprayers and flameless venting explosion-proof equipment, greatly enhancing safety.

Project Summary

The compressed waste blocks are easy to recycle

Villo's high-efficiency compactor significantly enhances production line efficiency and safety by optimizing waste management. The system utilizes patented electric cylinder compression technology to efficiently collect and compress cutting waste from the production line. It is equipped with a collection trolley, making waste collection more convenient. Additionally, intelligent control ensures seamless integration with the main production equipment, enabling automated operation and greatly reducing manual labor costs. The high airflow design maximizes dust collection, significantly reducing dust within the unit and improving safety.

Upon implementation, the system has demonstrated outstanding performance, solving customers' waste management challenges and fully meeting their demands for efficient and safe production.
