Calendering and / or rolling equipment for the manufacture of electrodes and the process implemented by such equipment

Abstract

The invention relates to a calendering and / or rolling equipment (100) for the manufacture of electrodes in particular for battery cells, the calendering and / or rolling equipment being characterized in that it comprises at least two adjacent calendering and / or rolling roller assemblies (10) separated by a predetermined gap through which a battery component (1) is compressed, each roller assembly (10) comprising: a main body (16), a cylindrical roller (11); a roller drive shaft (17) integral with the main body (16), said roller drive shaft (17) being capable of rotating the main body (16);at least two pairs of inner (13) and outer (14) bearings, each supporting the drive shaft (17) and located axially on either side of the main body (16) of the associated roller (11), all or part of the inner (13) and / or outer (14) bearings being movable and configured to perform displacements enabling radial forces to be exerted on the drive shaft (17) so as to jointly exert a resultant force opposing the bending of the main body (16) of the roller (11) during a calendering and / or rolling operation.
