ACK-400 Automatic Forming Machine

Automatic Pouch Case Forming for Soft-Pack Battery Production

The ACK-400 Automatic Pouch Cell Case Forming Machine is designed for forming aluminium-laminated film into pouch cell cases for lithium-ion and lithium-polymer battery manufacturing. It operates through a controlled sequence of film unwinding, tension regulation, dust removal, static elimination, preheating, servo punching, side trimming, cross-cutting, and separate collection of finished pouches and waste. This workflow supports cleaner processing and more consistent pouch geometry during battery assembly.

Working Principle and Key Features

The machine uses roll-fed aluminium-laminated film and forms one pouch cell per mould cycle. Servo-controlled punching and transport help maintain dimensional consistency, while preheating and tension control improve film handling and forming stability.

Key specifications include:

• Production capacity of at least 10 ppm for one mould punching one pouch cell
• Punch pressure range of 3 T
• Maximum aluminium-laminated film size of L350 × W200 mm
• Supported punched length of 50–300 mm and punched width of 40–200 mm
• Aluminium-laminated film roll width up to 350 mm, with 3-inch inner diameter and outer diameter below 450 mm
• Punching depth accuracy of ±0.1 mm and overall punched dimension accuracy of ±0.15 mm
• Servo transport accuracy of ±0.1 mm and cutting accuracy of ±0.2 mm
• Tungsten steel cutter life and mould life up to 1 million cycles

The system is engineered to produce pouch cases with smooth corners and reduced risk of wrinkles, pinholes, scratches, or visible surface defects.

Compatibility and Applications

This machine is suitable for pouch cell R&D, pilot lines, and early-stage production environments. It can be integrated with related battery manufacturing equipment such as electrode stacking or winding systems, electrolyte filling units, vacuum sealing machines, formation systems, and battery cyclers.
