BW Converting highlights Baldwin EPIC System’s sustainability and safety benefits at The Battery Show Europe 2025

Empowering European battery manufacturers with advanced in-linecleaning solutions

GREEN BAY, Wis. – June 3, 2025 – BW Converting will spotlight its revolutionary Baldwin Electrode Press Industrial Cleaning(EPIC) System at The Battery Show Europe 2025, taking place June 3–5 at Messe Stuttgart in Stuttgart, Germany. Designedto meet the growing demand for profitable, sustainable and safer manufacturing solutions, the Baldwin EPIC Systemdelivers exceptional cleaning performance for battery electrode production lines, helping European manufacturersadvance both product quality and environmental stewardship.

The EPIC System is the first fully automated in-line cleaning technology specifically engineered for calendering processesin battery cell manufacturing. By cleaning rollers during production at temperatures up to 150°C (302°F), the systemeliminates the need for manual intervention, drastically reduces downtime and minimizes the environmental footprint ofcleaning operations.

Meeting Europe's Growing Focus on Sustainability and Safety

European battery manufacturers face increasing pressure to enhance sustainability and improve worker safety, and theEPIC System addresses these needs directly:

• Reduced Environmental Impact: By eliminating the need to cool and reheat heavy calender rollers duringcleaning, the EPIC System conserves significant amounts of energy and reduces chemical waste, aligning withEurope's strong commitment to sustainable manufacturing practices.
• Enhanced Operator Safety: EPIC's fully automated cleaning process removes the risks associated with manualhandling of hazardous chemicals and hot surfaces, helping manufacturers create a safer workplace environment.
• Superior Battery Film Quality: Maintaining consistently clean roller surfaces improves electrode uniformity,contributing to better battery cell performance, longer range for electric vehicles and greater overall energyefficiency.
• Protection of Equipment Investment: By standardizing the cleaning process, EPIC prevents damage to expensivemirror-polished rollers often caused by improper manual cleaning methods.

"Scalability, reduction of scrap rates and safe operations have never been more important for the European batterymarket," said Dennis Behnisch, Product Line Leader, Surface, Cleaning & Spray, at BW Converting. "Our EPIC Systemempowers manufacturers to not only meet stringent environmental and safety standards but also to produce consistentlyhigher quality electrode materials. It's a technology perfectly aligned with Europe's manufacturing priorities."

Attendees of The Battery Show Europe are invited to visit BW Converting’s booth #8-D34 to learn how the EPIC Systemcan enhance sustainability, safety and quality across their battery manufacturing operations.
