KIST + ESCHERICH has successfully integrated one of the largest dry, process-reliable cleaning systems for fully assembled high-voltage batteries into an existing production environment. The installation was completed within a tight weekend time frame and under demanding process integration requirements.
In battery production, controlling particulate contamination plays a crucial role: even the smallest particles can affect the performance, service life, or safety of high-voltage systems. The international standard ISO 16232 defines Cleanliness of components and systems and provides guidance for measuring and controlling particle and contamination levels. In addition, many OEM standards are based on VDA 19 methods for determining and analyzing technical cleanliness.
Within a single weekend, the system was installed into an existing production line and commissioned as planned. The work included dismantling an old transfer system and precisely aligning all system interfaces—without interrupting main production.
“Projects of this scale and technical complexity can only be realized through detailed planning and precise process execution,” says Michael Kober, Project Manager at KIST + ESCHERICH GmbH. “Our solution ensures high surface and product cleanliness, minimizes particulate contamination, and meets the stringent quality requirements of the battery industry.”
The installed system is based on a modular, service-friendly design and is engineered to flexibly accommodate different battery formats and sizes in the future. It therefore supports the continuous optimization of production processes that must meet increasingly tight technical tolerances and rising cleanliness requirements.
With the successful integration of this large-scale project, KIST + ESCHERICH once again demonstrates its expertise in developing and implementing complex cleaning and process systems for demanding industrial applications—particularly where technical cleanliness, contamination-free assembly, and qualified cleaning solutions are of critical importance.
