HiLock Horizontal WIP System | Core Equipment for Solid-State Battery Manufacturing

Designed for large-scale solid-state battery production, this 600 MPa + 150°C horizontal flagship system uses water/oil as the pressure medium. Its high-temperature and high-pressure synergistic densification technology solves key issues such as uneven density and residual interface pores in conventional molding, providing essential support for solid-state battery commercialization.

• Horizontal Automated Design: Equipped with front and rear robotic systems for fully automated loading and unloading, enabling unmanned operation throughout the process. With a cycle time of only 7.9 minutes, it matches continuous production requirements and significantly improves manufacturing efficiency.
• Dual-Screen Intelligent Control: A user-friendly HMI system with dual-screen display supports multiple operation modes, including automatic, manual, and system cleaning. Integrated SCADA monitoring and data recording enable precise process control, easy operation, and full traceability.
• Ultra-High Pressure Precision Drive: Powered by 12 synchronized intensifiers, the system improves efficiency by 30%. The 65Mn steel wire-wound frame and forged alloy steel pressure-bearing structure provide excellent fatigue resistance and long-term operational reliability.
• Long Service Life & Low Maintenance: High-durability sealing systems and modular chamber design extend equipment lifetime and reduce maintenance frequency. Heavy-duty frames and stainless-steel protection structures ensure stable and precise operation over long production cycles.
• Safe Operation Under Various Conditions: The stainless-steel structure with explosion-resistant protection provides corrosion resistance and adaptability to wide-temperature production environments. Dual pressure monitoring and precise pressure-medium control systems ensure safer and more stable operation.

FAQ

• What is WIP technology?

  Warm Isostatic Pressing (WIP) is a compaction process that densifies the material to increase its strength, durability and properties.

• What are the key technical advantages of HiLock WIP equipment?

  Industry-leading technology achieves 600 MPa ultra-high pressure + 150°C high temperature (vs. 140°C industry average). Equipped with proprietary high-pressure technology and a precise pressure-temperature coordination system for uniform and accurate control.

• What capacities and applications does HiLock WIP support?

  From lab-scale R&D to GWh-level production, HiLock WIP serves advanced ceramics, powder metallurgy, electronic ceramics, new energy materials, and solid-state batteries, enabling densification, defect removal, interface enhancement, and improved material performance.

• What makes HiLock different from other high-pressure equipment manufacturers?

  HiLock provides more than equipment — we deliver full-chain technology and process solutions.
  Self-developed core components: Patented S600 intensifier with independent control of key technologies and international-level performance.
  Full-process support: From R&D to mass production, offering process consulting, joint development, and industrialization support.
  Flexible manufacturing capability: Supported by a 100,000 m² precision manufacturing platform for scalable delivery and customized solutions.

• What is the fundamental difference between WIP and traditional mechanical rolling in solid-state battery production?

  Traditional rolling applies only unidirectional pressure, causing layer slippage and uneven density. WIP uses a fluid medium (oil/gas) to apply 360° uniform pressure, enabling conformal contact between layers, achieving over 95% density and reducing porosity below 0.15%, significantly lowering interface resistance and improving cycle stability.
