Cleanrooms and dry rooms for Varkaus factory

European Batteries Oy is building a new 9.000 m2 lithium-ion battery factory in Varkaus.

Cleanrooms and dry rooms for Varkaus factory

European Batteries Oy has signed a contract with the international engineering company M+W Zander, Germany, to engineer and construct the process cleanrooms and dry rooms of our battery factory in Varkaus.

The order for M+W Zander comprises the design and construction of cleanrooms and dry rooms for highly sensitive production processes. This includes the assembly of electrodes and separators, as well as filling the cells with electrolyte. Maintaining high quality and peak performance of the batteries demands a constantly low humidity level. This is provided by high-performance adsorption dehumidification devices and special vapor-tight walls and ceiling systems as well as airlocks.

M+W Zander has an innovative concept for building lithium ion battery factories.This concept combines the goal of substantial cost reduction through optimized integration of production technology in the building infrastructure with stringent safety and quality standards. The concept benefits from M+W Zander’s long-standing experience with similar developments in other sectors, where improvements in production efficiency have enabled unit prices to be progressively reduced.
