Heated Motorized Vertical Roller Press XN-HRPE-150 – Φ96 mm Hard Chrome Rollers HRC62, Dual-Zone Independent Heating Up to 130 °C ±0.5 °C, Forward/Reverse Operation, 1 kW | Xnergy

Name: Heated Motorized Vertical Roller Press XN-HRPE-150

Equipment Type: Laboratory Heated Motorized Vertical Gear-Driven Roller Press with Dual-Zone Independent Internal Heating for Hot Calendering of Battery Electrodes (150 mm Heating Width)

Product Code: XN-HRPE-150

Product Introduction:

The Heated Motorized Vertical Roller Press XN-HRPE-150 is designed for motorized rolling of battery materials, small quantities of precious metals (gold, silver), and non-ferrous metals (copper, aluminum) under precisely controlled temperature conditions in laboratory environments. It is particularly suitable for the thinning and densification of clean-energy material lithium-ion battery electrode sheets. The XN-HRPE-150 features dual-zone independent temperature control — the top and bottom rollers can be heated independently, with roller internal heating design providing precise temperature distribution. The XN-HRPE-150 supports a wider heating width than the XN-HRPE-100 — up to 150 mm — making it well-suited for laboratory work with wider electrode sheets.

Main Features:

• Dual-zone independent heating with digital display — top and bottom rollers controlled independently for staged or symmetric thermal profiles
• Roller internal heating design — precise temperature control at the roller surface
• Hard rollers with chrome-plated surface — hardness up to HRC62, with rust-resistant chrome plating
• Wedge-block gap adjustment — excellent self-locking performance, high adjustment precision, with electronic indicator display
• High rolling precision — roller cylindricity ≤ ±2 μm
• Digital display of sheet thickness and feed speed — precise observation and adjustment
• Motorized operation with forward/reverse capability — enables automated rolling and sample retrieval
• Ground-grade gears — precise and smooth gear engagement
• Compact footprint with refined industrial design — easy and flexible operation for laboratory use

Technical Parameters:

Values measured by Xnergy. Typical values for reference; not guaranteed unless otherwise specified.

Application Areas:

• Lithium-ion battery electrode sheet thinning and densification — hot calendering with independent top/bottom temperature control for staged thermal profiles, sheet widths up to 150 mm
• Clean-energy battery material laboratory hot-rolling experiments where temperature improves electrode density, adhesion, or sheet uniformity
• Process development requiring different temperatures on the top and bottom rollers (e.g., asymmetric heating profiles)
• Coin-cell, pouch-cell, and prismatic-cell laboratory electrode preparation
• Small-quantity precious metal hot rolling — gold, silver, and similar precious metals
• Non-ferrous metal hot rolling — copper, aluminum, and similar non-ferrous strip materials

Recommended Operating Procedure:

1. Place the XN-HRPE-150 on a stable laboratory benchtop or workstation with adequate working space and good lighting; connect the power supply per local electrical standards. 2. Power on the unit and verify the motor, gear-drive mechanism, dual heating zones, digital displays (temperature, speed, gap), wedge-block gap adjustment, and stainless steel safety guards are all in good condition and operating normally. 3. Set the target temperature independently for the top and bottom rollers on the dual temperature controllers (within ambient–130 °C, ±0.5 °C accuracy, 0.1 °C resolution). Allow both rollers to reach and stabilize at their setpoints. 4. Set the target roller gap by rotating the left/right gap-adjustment hand wheels evenly; read the gap value on the electronic indicator (target range 0–2 mm). The wedge-block mechanism self-locks at the configured gap. 5. Set the target feed speed on the digital speed-control panel (within 0–40 mm/s). 6. Place the electrode sheet (or other strip material, within the 150 mm heating width) between the two vertical rollers. 7. Toggle the forward/reverse selector to the forward position and start the motor; both rollers rotate at the configured feed speed, performing paired-roller hot compression. 8. As the calendered material exits the rollers, support it gently to avoid wrinkling or bending; allow the material to cool before further handling. 9. If multiple calendering passes are required to reach the target final thickness, gradually reduce the roller gap between passes and repeat the procedure. 10. If material retrieval is needed, toggle the forward/reverse selector to reverse and run the motor in reverse direction. 11. After use, allow the heating system to cool, then power off the unit; clean the roller surfaces with a soft, clean cloth dampened with alcohol to remove any residual electrode material. Inspect the roller surface, gears, motor, heating elements, and digital displays periodically.

Maintenance:

• Before each use, carefully wipe both roller surfaces with a soft cloth dampened with alcohol to maintain cleanliness
• Lubricate moving parts (especially gear-drive components) with oil to maintain smooth operation
• Do not use compressed-air blow-down for cleaning — this can drive dust into the bearings and degrade precision
• If the machine will not be used for an extended period, wipe down the roller surfaces and apply a protective rust-prevention oil to protect the roller surfaces from corrosion
• Periodically inspect screws, nuts, pins, and other fasteners across all parts of the machine to prevent loosening, avoiding equipment-quality issues and personal-safety incidents
• When adjusting the roller gap, adjust both side hand wheels evenly to avoid damaging components

Packaging & Storage:

The XN-HRPE-150 ships fully assembled with Φ96 mm hard-chrome-plated rollers (vertical layout), ground-grade gears, electric motor with forward/reverse capability, dual independent roller internal heating systems with independent digital temperature controllers (top + bottom, ambient–130 °C, ±0.5 °C), wedge-block gap-adjustment mechanism with self-locking, electronic gap indicator, digital speed/thickness display, stainless steel safety guards with hazard labels, and frame. Store on a stable laboratory benchtop or workstation in a clean, dry environment, away from corrosive atmospheres and moisture. Disconnect the power supply when the equipment is not in active use. After each use, allow the heating system to cool to room temperature, then clean the roller surfaces, gears, and frame; apply rust-prevention oil to the roller surfaces if the machine will not be used for an extended period. Inspect the rollers, gears, motor, heating elements, digital displays, safety guards, and gap-adjustment mechanism periodically for wear, contamination, or signs of degradation.

Safety:

For research and industrial laboratory use only. During operation, do not insert hands or any other body parts into the roller-engagement area, the gear-drive area, or any moving components to prevent personal injury — gear-drive components are enclosed by protective covers with hazard labels. Operation by two or more persons simultaneously is not allowed to avoid accidental injury. The stainless steel guards reach high temperatures during heated operation — do not touch directly to avoid burns. Do not touch the heated rollers, roller surfaces, or sheet material immediately after the run — surface temperatures up to 130 °C can cause burns. When wiping roller surfaces during operation, stand at the operator side and wipe carefully; prevent wipes and hands from being caught in the rollers, which can cause serious injury and equipment damage. Never wear gloves when wiping rotating components. Operators must wear close-fitting clothing; long hair must be tied up under a work cap. External (third-party) technical personnel and unauthorized persons must not disassemble or commission the equipment. Do not privately disassemble electrical components. Always wear appropriate PPE (safety glasses, lab coat, close-fitting sleeves) when operating the roller press. Allow the heating system to cool to room temperature before any cleaning, maintenance, or component replacement. Disconnect the power supply before any service work. Refer to the included user manual for complete safety and operating instructions.

Note: Specifications listed above are typical and for reference only. Actual performance depends on the specific electrode formulation, coated film thickness, target final thickness, target electrode density, rolling temperature setpoint for top/bottom rollers, feed speed, and operator technique — consult published literature and our technical team for guidance on specific hot calendering protocols.
