MEGTEC capabilities include:

• Complete turnkey solutions for the production of advanced web-based materials including raw material handling, coating/slurry mixing and fluid delivery, web handling, coating and drying, solvent recovery and purification, calendaring and slitting
• Uniform coating, drying and curing to meet demands for superior quality
• Stable web handling for thin substrates and heavy coat weights
• Single-side or simultaneous two-side coating and drying to allow for efficient utilization of spaces and available resources
• Single or multi-level line configurations
• Coating thickness/coat weight measurement and closed loop control to coater/fluid delivery system
• Complete PLC-based control system, line drives, integration of all unit operations via a SCADA supervisory system
• Options to meet various classifications of clean room requirements

The MEGTEC R&D Center located in our De Pere, Wisconsin, USA facility includes an in-house pilot lab line that offers customers the ability to test, develop and improve processes by evaluating system variables and components. The pilot line includes mixing capabilities for preparation of slurry mixtures, multiple coating methods, a 3-zone dryer that has been used with a wide range of substrates and tensions, plasma or corona treater for foil substrates, and on-line coating thickness measurement and tracking.

MEGTEC also offers an easy-to-use lab coating line designed for short production runs. Developed specifically for companies who are involved in the development and testing of lithium-ion battery and other advanced battery coating formulations, MEGTEC's coating line offers the capability of producing 200 mm wide cathode and anode samples at speeds up to 3 meters/min.

In addition, MEGTEC has developed proprietary systems for high efficiency removal and recovery of N-Methylpyrrolidone (NMP) and N-Ethylpyrrolidone (NEP) from coating line exhaust air streams in the lithium ion battery manufacturing process. These systems can be configured to provide regulatory compliance with global and local emission standards.

Following the recovery of NMP or NEP from the dryer exhaust stream, MEGTEC also provides equipment for the dehydration and purification of NMP or NEP to ultra pure/electronic grade specifications to allow reuse in the manufacturing process. All systems can be pre-assembled on skids for ease of equipment installation.
