Battery Manufacturing

Curbell Plastics supports battery manufacturers with plastic materials, fabricated plastic parts, MRO replacement components, and select metal parts. From sheets, rods, and tubes to custom-machined components, we help manufacturers improve equipment uptime, reduce maintenance costs, and enhance safety on the production line.

Plastics for Battery Manufacturing Applications

Battery manufacturing environments require durable materials that can withstand continuous operation, chemical exposure, and high mechanical stresses. Plastics are widely used in production equipment for conveying systems, chain guides, fixtures, and guarding, as well as in parts that come into contact with corrosive fluids.

Their wear resistance, chemical stability, and ability to be machined into high performance parts make plastics an essential choice for improving equipment reliability, reducing downtime, and supporting safe, efficient battery production.

Chain Guides and Assemblies

Chain guides and assemblies in battery manufacturing equipment are commonly made from wear-resistant plastics such as UHMW. These components reduce friction between moving parts, extend chain life, and help control noise and vibration during operation. Custom profiles are often designed to align and support chains in conveying systems, ensuring smooth, reliable movement through the production process.

Conveying and Material Handling

Conveying and material handling systems in battery manufacturing rely on durable plastic components such as rollers, wear strips, star wheels, and chutes. These parts help move materials smoothly through production while resisting wear, impact, and chemical exposure. Plastics reduce friction and noise in conveyor systems, extend equipment life, and support efficient, continuous operation in demanding manufacturing environments.

MRO and Replacement Parts

Battery manufacturing machinery requires consistent maintenance to minimize downtime. Curbell provides machined plastic and metal replacement parts including pulleys, rollers, sprockets, bushings, and wear components to keep production lines moving.

Safety and Machine Guarding

Clear plastics such as polycarbonate and acrylic are commonly used for machine guards and covers, protecting operators while maintaining visibility.

Fixtures and Tooling

Custom-machined plastics are ideal for nests, jigs, and assembly fixtures used throughout the battery production process. These parts offer strength and dimensional stability while reducing wear on equipment.

Chemical Handling

Plastics such as UHMW, PVC, and PTFE are used in tanks, liners, and manifolds that come into contact with chemicals during the manufacturing process, offering resistance to corrosion and extending part life.
