Abstract

A device for producing a dry film, in particular an electrode layer. The device has a roller apparatus with a first roller and with a second roller for forming the dry film from a dry film material charge, as well as a doctor blade, which is movable to regulate a height of the dry film material charge. In addition, a method is provided for producing a dry film, in particular, by the device.

Claims (14)

1 . A device to produce a dry film, in particular an electrode layer, the device comprising:

a roller apparatus with a first roller and a second roller to form the dry film from a dry film material charge; and

a doctor blade that is movable to regulate a height of the dry film material charge.

2 . The device according to claim 1 , wherein a shield element is provided for each of the first roller and for the second roller, wherein the shield elements are arranged between the first roller and the second roller, and wherein a receiving area for the dry film material charge is formed by the shield elements.

3 . The device according to claim 2 , further comprising a vibrating unit for the shield element.

4 . The device according to claim 2 , wherein the shield elements are designed in a shape of a circular arc.

5 . The device according to claim 2 , wherein sides of the shield elements that face one another are flat and/or inclined toward one another.

6 . The device according to claim 2 , wherein the shield elements have different distances from a plane spanned by the rotational axes of the first and second rollers.

7 . The device according to claim 1 , wherein a travel speed of the doctor blade and/or a distance of the doctor blade from the rollers of the roller apparatus is adjustable.

8 . The device according to claim 1 , wherein the doctor blade is movable in a direction parallel to the rotational axis of the first roller and/or of the second roller, and/or wherein the doctor blade is movable in a roll nip formed between the first roller and the second roller.

9 . A method to produce a dry film by a device in accordance with claim 1 , the method comprising:

conveying dry film material between a first roller and a second roller via a formation of a dry film material charge; and

removing the dry film material from the dry film material charge via the doctor blade so that a predetermined height of the dry film material charge is regulated.

10 . The method according to claim 9 , wherein the dry film material is replenished continuously, and/or wherein a dispensing rate of dry film material is set in such a manner that the dry film material charge does not fall below the predetermined height.
