Maschinenfabrik Gustav Eirich GmbH & Co KG

Preparation technologies for lithium-ion batteries
From the world-market leader for preparation systems in the lead-acid battery field
The preparation of battery pastes ranks among the most demanding of tasks in the mixing technology field. For this very reason, technologies from the EIRICH company are regarded as indispensable by top-name battery manufacturers all over the world. Nowhere else can producers and consumers alike benefit in such high measure from the advantages of EIRICH mixing technology.
EIRICH – trend-setter in the field of preparation systems for batteries
At the beginning of the 1990s, EIRICH kicked off an enduring technological trend with its EVACTHERM® process for the production of lead-acid batteries. It was thanks to this innovative preparation process that the lead-acid battery was successfully developed into the AGM* battery. The planetary mixer now widely used in the battery industry was invented by EIRICH at the beginning of the last century. It was further developed into the EIRICH mixer with its unique mixing principle, which has been regularly optimized on the basis of decades of experience and successfully incorporated in new areas of application. It offers fascinating possibilities, including for manufacturers of lithium-ion batteries.
Gaining a competitive edge with the right technology
The right preparation technology is a major precondition for advanced battery systems with very high energy densities, endurance and safety. And the right partner is indispensable for anyone wishing to offer modern and environmentally friendly products on a long term basis. At the same time you benefit directly from our research and development activities. Because EIRICH and renowned companies, universities and competence networks have been working jointly for decades on future battery concepts. Regardless of whether you are active in the electromobility field or in the development of stationary energy storage concepts, EIRICH will always be able to offer you the best preparation solution for your future battery concepts.
The global battery market holds unimagined possibilities for companies. With our tailor-made technical solutions we would be glad to help you make in the most of these possibilities.

Fraunhofer Battery Alliance

Welcome to the Fraunhofer Battery Alliance
High-performance batteries are key components in mobile and stationary electrically powered applications and are also the most complex elements in these systems. Particularly in high energy and output ranges, the durability and reliability of a system must be high, placing significant technical demands on the batteries.
Through research in the field of electrochemical energy storage, the Fraunhofer Battery Alliance develops suitable technologies and conceptual solutions to application level, paying particular attention to their social, economic, and ecological impacts. Optimization is needed across a series of disciplines. The competences of the 24 members of the Fraunhofer Battery Alliance cover materials, cells and cell production, systems and integration, recycling, simulation, digitalization and testing. The Fraunhofer Battery Alliance develops, optimizes, and characterizes customer-specific materials and manufacturing processes for batteries and develops complete battery systems for a range of applications. Therefore, the institutes operate special pilot plants for transferring results obtained in the laboratory up to industrial scale. Research and development work aims to increase the tolerance to external influences and improves the storage properties and intrinsic safety, paying attention to aspects of the cell manufacture. Emphasis is placed on lithium-ion systems, next-generation batteries, redox-flow batteries and high-temperature storage devices.
In recent years, two spin-offs have been formed from member institutes of the Fraunhofer Battery Alliance. Our Fraunhofer spin-offs develop new solutions from application to market maturity based on technologies and know-how from research.
The Batalyse GmbH developed a software system to automate time consuming manual data processing like file gathering, categorization and evaluation for R&D, production and QM with focus on electrochemistry. Sort and filter your test, analysis and production data for specific materials, projects, customers and performance. Link material properties, with production parameters and product performance, receive structured data and apply your AI to optimize your processes and products. Batalyse is a spin-off of the Fraunhofer ICT and the software is used by many institutes of the Fraunhofer Battery Alliance.
In 2019, volytica diagnostics GmbH, another successful spin-off of the Fraunhofer IVI, was founded, focusing on reliable condition monitoring of batteries based on field data. volytica diagnostics focuses on safe and easy-to-integrate battery diagnostics solutions based on decades of research.
