The "FFB PreFab" - battery production research all along the line

FFB PreFab focuses on the production of pouch cells and prismatic cells for research purposes, which are used in electric cars, medical technology, smart devices, and other applications.

• All steps in battery cell production are shown here—from electrode manufacturing and cell assembly to forming.
• Complete pouch cells can be produced reproducibly in the integrated pilot line, which is a key step toward industrial scale.
• For electrode production, FFB PreFab will have a machine capacity of around 200 megawatt hours per year.

Innovation areas in cleanrooms and dry rooms

Here, partners from industry and research can build, test, and further develop innovative plants and technologies. The areas function like modular "garages": they initially enable stand-alone operation of plant prototypes. In a further step, these can then be integrated into the pilot line for testing under realistic production conditions.
