KATOP Excellent Center: Customized Solutions and Zero-Distance Smart Manufacturing

As a key equipment supplier for lithium batteries, KATOP has always been committed to providing intelligent manufacturing solutions for lithium battery process equipment to customers in the global new energy industry. In recent years, the company's strategic plans have been progressively implemented. In 2024, the KATOP Excellent Center in Zhaoqing, Guangdong, was fully constructed and launched. Meanwhile, KATOP is actively expanding its presence in overseas markets, with plans to initiate the construction of a KATOP Excellent Center in Frankfurt, Germany, this year. Looking forward, there are also plans to establish a presence in North America to meet the diverse needs of global customers.

"Mini Factory" Opens a New Horizon for Lithium Battery Manufacturing

The KATOP Excellent Center is equipped with a highly integrated production line for cathode and anode electrode sheets, specifically designed for small-batch pilot production of electrode sheets. The main purpose of this production line is to conduct pre-production yield testing and solution validation before the client's electrode sheet design enters mass production. This process aims to evaluate the technical feasibility of large-scale production. It can identify and resolve potential issues that might arise during mass production in advance and provide customized solutions to avoid significant economic losses due to blind investment. Moreover, this production line offers personalized custom product physical production services to global clients.

The production line covers an intelligent three-dimensional warehouse, main material feeding area, auxiliary material feeding area, mixing workshop, high-speed dispersion workshop, bottom coating equipment, coating workshop, and roller pressing slitting workshop. Each workshop is equipped with a series of advanced machines independently developed by KATOP, all of which have full independent intellectual property rights, ensuring the efficiency and precision of the production process.

KATOP has also established a complete cell experimental line within the KATOP Excellent Center, including a full set of process equipment from raw material processing to formation, simulating a miniaturized lithium battery factory environment. This allows clients to comprehensively verify new cell design schemes without affecting regular production, checking whether the finished products meet the expected performance indicators. Clients can adjust their design schemes based on feedback from the testing of cell finished products and use the experimental line for multiple trial productions until the final product fully meets the design requirements. This approach not only increases the success rate of new product development but also significantly shortens the R&D cycle and reduces cost input, providing strong support for client innovation.

Integrated Services: Maximizing Client Value

In addition to visible services, the KATOP Excellent Center provides strong support behind the scenes for clients. For example, it conducts early product yield testing, assists in identifying and solving potential problems in design schemes, ensuring the final product's connection stability and efficiency. Moreover, the experience center strives to provide a comprehensive integrated solution platform, including but not limited to technology innovation, industry-university-research cooperation, and more. By integrating internal resources and closely collaborating with external research institutions, the center can quickly convert the latest research findings into practical applications, providing clients with the most cutting-edge lithium battery manufacturing technology.

For companies hoping to quickly achieve mass production, the "turnkey" EPC general contracting solution provided by the KATOP Excellent Center is particularly important. This solution covers all aspects from project planning to completion, offering start-up enterprises a worry-free growth environment to help them smoothly overcome the challenges of the initial entrepreneurial phase. This model has been proven effective and feasible through successful cases in Ningde, Dongguan, Shenzhen, and other places.

Since its establishment in 2005, KATOP has spent two decades specializing in lithium battery equipment manufacturing, witnessing and experiencing the rise and prosperity of the lithium battery equipment manufacturing industry in China. The launch of the KATOP Excellent Center promotes smart manufacturing, supports client success, and advances the development of green energy. With deep technical accumulation and continuous innovation capabilities, KATOP will continue to create value for clients, fulfill social responsibilities, promote the development of green energy, and contribute to China's intelligent manufacturing and even the global new energy industry.
