Microcapsule Fire Suppression Patch Feeding Machine Case Study

A leading new energy battery safety material manufacturer specializing in R&D and production of microcapsule fire suppression patches for electric vehicles and energy storage systems. Facing surging order demand, their existing manual mixing and filling process could no longer meet market requirements, grappling with core challenges including high microcapsule damage rates, uneven mixing, and low production efficiency.

Core Challenges

1. Microcapsule Protection Challenge: Perfluorohexanone microcapsules are extremely fragile; traditional mechanical stirring caused damage rates up to 15-20%, severely impacting product fire suppression effectiveness.

2. Insufficient Mixing Uniformity: Difficulty achieving uniform dispersion of high-viscosity silicone and microcapsules, leading to poor batch consistency.

3. Low Production Efficiency: Manual operations limited daily output to only 800-1,000 pieces, unable to meet customer delivery timelines.

4. Bubble Issues: Traditional processes introduced bubbles, affecting patch density and appearance.
