1、 Why does lithium battery production require a dedicated electric regulating ball valve?
1.1 Rigorous working conditions in lithium battery manufacturing
Ultra high cleanliness: requires metal ion content<0.1ppm (10 times the cleanliness standard of ordinary valves)
Strong corrosive media: NMP solvent, electrolyte (LiPF6) and other corrosive fluids
Precision pressure control requirement: The pressure fluctuation of the coating machine needs to be controlled within ± 0.01MPa
Explosion proof safety: Organic solvents in electrode slurries are explosive (explosion-proof rating must reach Exd II CT4)

1.2 Limitations of Traditional Valves
Problem consequence specific valve solution
Metal contaminated batteries use 316L ultra-low carbon stainless steel for self discharge
Sealing failure, solvent leakage, PTFE+graphite composite seal
Slow response, uneven coating, 0.5 seconds, fast closing actuator
Particle residue diaphragm perforated mirror polishing (Ra ≤ 0.2 μ m)

2、 Core Technology Analysis
2.1 Ultra clean structural design
Full bore flow channel: The measured flow resistance coefficient of the DN50 valve body is only 0.08 (60% lower than the standard ball valve)
Zero dead angle polishing: using electrolytic polishing (EP) treatment, surface roughness Ra ≤ 0.1 μ m
No leakage seal:
The valve stem adopts triple sealing (PTFE+V-type packing+bellows)
Helium mass spectrometry leak detection of valve body welds (leakage rate<1 × 10 ⁻⁹ Pa · m ³/s)
