Technotrans wins an order in the mid single-digit million euro range. The thermal management specialist is supplying energy-efficient compact temperature control units for a sub-process of battery production to several locations worldwide. The customer is a German car manufacturer. The appliances are used for mold temperature control in foam casting – a temperature-sensitive process for joining battery cells. The decisive factors for winning the contract were technotrans’ engineering expertise, the high energy efficiency of the devices, fast response times in development and the global service network. technotrans is the exclusive supplier for the entire project. The German car manufacturer will receive a customized version of the technotrans teco ci eco device series – the most energy-efficient compact temperature control units on the market. By the end of 2025, a high three-digit number of the systems will be delivered to several national and international battery production sites.
Optimum thermal management for a demanding process
The customer uses technotrans systems in a critical battery manufacturing process. In foam casting, battery cells are joined together in a press using a foam-like substance. For this purpose, the molds must be heated to the exact target temperature, maintained and cooled down in very short cycles. This is where the technotrans compact temperature control units come into play: they reliably ensure precise temperature control in this process. Another challenge was the different cooling water qualities at the various locations. Contaminated or calcified cooling water damages the temperature control units and the quality of the results. Here, too, technotrans has state-of-the-art know-how and has developed a sustainable water treatment solution that is precisely tailored to the customer’s requirements.
