Batteries require consistent and reliable industrial mixing capabilities for a variety of gels, pastes, slurries, and powders used in battery construction. At Readco Kurimoto, our proprietary continuous mixing solutions help battery original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to mix and react raw materials simultaneously while carefully metering each material for optimal chemistry.
Batteries rely heavily on various chemical reactions to generate the flow of electrons and charged ions that generate electrical current. The electrodes and electrolytes used to achieve this vary depending on the type of battery, how it works, its storage capacity, and its voltage needs.
The Readco Kurimoto team will fully customize your industrial mixing machine to suit the precise requirements and specifications of your battery application. Our solutions provide an efficient means for mixing high-viscosity materials through gentle kneading that effectively disperses materials. We combine multiple steps in one single-pass operation, allowing you to increase production capacities with a smaller equipment footprint, lower overall production costs, and increase quality control capabilities.
The demand for high-performance batteries is accelerating across industries, thanks in part to growing interest in electric vehicles, energy storage, and portable electronics. In this environment, traditional batch mixing methods are quickly becoming a bottleneck. Batch mixing often leads to inconsistent electrode slurries, uneven dispersion of active materials, and wasted resources.
Continuous battery mixing equipment offers a transformative advantage. With a continuous mixing system for batteries, manufacturers gain the scalability essential for next-generation energy demands. Continuous mixing in battery production offers many advantages:

Here are some of the suitable applications:
There are several advantages that continuous mixing brings to battery production.
Uniform dispersion of active materials results in denser, more efficient electrodes — boosting battery capacity, conductivity, and overall cycle life.
A continuous battery processor eliminates batching downtime and supports non-stop operation, enabling significantly higher production output.
From reduced labor to minimized raw material loss, our systems help drive down the cost-per-cell without sacrificing quality.
Precision-built and automation-ready, Readco Kurimoto systems deliver repeatable results across every run, ensuring greater reliability and end-user satisfaction.
Here are some of the many applications for continuous mixing in battery production.
Our continuous mixing equipment ensures optimal homogeneity in electrode slurries, minimizing agglomerates and maximizing energy density across electrodes.
For liquid electrolytes, our mixers maintain temperature stability and composition accuracy, which is key to long-term battery safety and performance.
Whether you’re handling active powders, conductive agents, or advanced binders, our mixers support uniform pre-processing for consistent downstream performance.
