Matthews International Corporation’s engineering division announced a partnership with German startup hs‑tumbler GmbH to integrate trajectory‑mixing technology into its dry‑battery electrode (DBE) production lines. The collaboration will embed hs‑tumbler’s patented Lissajous‑type motion system into Matthews’ roll‑to‑roll equipment, enabling more homogeneous dry‑electrode powders in a sealed container.
The technology is expected to improve powder preparation, increase calender throughput, and enhance process consistency for solvent‑free DBE manufacturing. Early tests show that trajectory‑mixed powders can support higher line speeds while maintaining electrode quality, potentially boosting Matthews’ DBE output and reducing mixer wear and contamination.
The partnership follows Matthews’ recent arbitration victory that cleared the way for commercial sales of its DBE technology. By adding upstream mixing capability, Matthews can offer a more complete, scalable solution to battery manufacturers, strengthening its competitive position in the growing solvent‑free battery materials market.
The collaboration underscores Matthews’ strategy to expand its Industrial Technologies segment, which includes the DBE platform, and positions the company to capture increasing demand from cell makers, automotive OEMs, and research institutions seeking energy‑efficient, environmentally friendly battery solutions.
