Torrey Hills Tech will join Battery Show with its furnace systems for Li battery manufacturing

Taking place September 16-18 2014, in Novi, Detroit, Michigan, The Battery Show 2014 is the premier showcase of the latest advanced battery technology. 

Torrey Hills Technologies(http://www.beltfurnaces.com/index.html) will be introducing its belt furnace systems for battery manufacturing to all the exhibitors. Li ion battery manufacturing requires Ar/N2/H2 protective atmosphere at relatively high temperature.

Torrey Hills Tech HSA series furnaces are the best choice for Li ion battery manufacturing.

The HSA series furnace is an efficient furnace designed and used for heat treatment 
for processes such as LiFePO4. It features a low mass refractory heating chamber equipped 
with ceramic FEC (Fully Enclosed Coil) heating board. The HSA furnace has 6 independent 
zones able to reach 1150˚C, temperatures high enough to heat treat lithium iron phosphate. 
The temperature profiles are able to run at the desired heating rate to meet the required 
sintering temperatures under controlled atmosphere. Gas is independently controlled for the 
adjustment of air, nitrogen, hydrogen, and argon inflow. Temperature control zones allow the 
furnace to run at the proper heating rate to meet the needs for firing and curing. The 
conveyor system allows proper heating across the belt with little temperature variations. The 
furnace is monitored by type K thermocouples with each zone monitored by single loop PID 
temperature controllers. This enables precise and stable temperature control throughout the 
heating process to the cool down. 

The furnace is large enough to handle manufacturing processes for LiFePO4
applications. It has a 14” (35cm) belt width and a 130” (330cm) heated length. The conveyor 
system can run at speeds of 1-8 Inches/min. The HSA furnace is protected from 
overheating, over loading, and low gas pressures. It also comes equipped with anti shock 
protection on the doors during maintenance. Technical information and training will be given 
upon installation of the furnace to ensure proper practice for continued use. Emergency 
buttons and removable collection traps are also located on each end of the furnace. For the 
cleaning system, there is a rotating motor metal brush that cleans the belt so future products 
will not be contaminated.
