Equipment for Lead-Acid Batteries
Grid Making
IPPL – Industrial Plate Production Line
- Industrial
This line is designed to produce positive tubular spines and plates for industrial applications. A first unit performs spine die-casting, cropping, and gauntlet insertion. A second unit performs paste filling, bottom bar closing and welding, washing, and palletizing.
Industrial Grid Casting Machine
- Industrial
This is a fully automatic machine for casting traditional low antimony or lead-calcium alloys in order to meet the specifications of the main traction and stationary battery applications.
Cast & Punch – Full Frame
- Automotive
- Punching Technology
This is Sovema’s breakthrough solution which combines lead strip production and punching into a single line. It has a compact footprint and allows the elimination of semi-finished product stocking.
Wide Strip Casting & Rolling Lines
- Automotive
- Punching Technology
This line performs the continuous casting of lead strips with a width of the raw strip be up to 320mm and a thickness of 14 mm. The line is comprised of the following main parts: the lead melting furnaces, the casting unit, the rolling mills, and the coiling system.
Two versions are available: type TR 320/14 PLUS, with higher productivity, extended lifetime, and improvements in maintenance; and the traditional TR 320/14, already used by major battery manufacturers worldwide.
Punch Plus – Full Frame
- Automotive
- Punching Technology
This is the state-of-the-art technology for punched grids with a speed of 250 strokes/min.The two most notable features are: 1) continuous strip flow (no stop&go operation) and 2) no need for lubricants. The system can easily punch all lead alloys and accommodate different grid designs.
Now available with HIGH WAVING STATION as an option.
Rotary Caster – Full Frame
- Automotive
- Grid Casting Technology
Sovema’s Rotary Caster provides full frame negative grids through a continuous production process. It works with any kind of alloy and can also accommodate round-corner grid designs.
Lead Strip Manufacturing Line
- Automotive
- Expanded Metal Technology
The machine allows the continuous casting of lead alloy with a production capacity of 3.5 t/h or 1.5 t/h to produce a strip with width up to 200mm and thickness up to 12 mm. A twin coiling system ensures the continuous operation of the line.
Performer
- Automotive
- Expanded Metal Technology
Sovema’s advanced solution for expanded grids and one of its best sellers. It performs grid expansion, shaping, and tab-blanking functions into one single machine.
Grid Caster – Full Frame
- Automotive
- Grid Casting Technology
Sovema’s CA Series is an automatic grid casting machine to cast grids for automotive power batteries with a thickness up to 4 mm
and a speed up to 24 grids/min.
It works both with antimony and calcium alloys.
