Manufacturing Excellence: Robust and Safe SMC Battery Enclosures
Jiangsu Lantai (Kaerda) is at the forefront of manufacturing high-performance Sheet Molding Compound (SMC) battery enclosures, critical components for the rapidly expanding electric vehicle (EV) industry and other energy storage applications. We understand that battery enclosures demand a unique combination of properties, and our SMC solutions, including specialized Epoxy SMC formulations, are engineered to deliver. Kaerda utilizes advanced SMC materials—a composite of polyester or epoxy resin, reinforcing fiberglass, chemical agents, pigments, and mineral fillers—to produce enclosures that offer exceptional protection, structural integrity, and safety for battery systems. Our precision manufacturing ensures each enclosure meets the rigorous demands of this evolving market.
The superior performance of Kaerda’s SMC battery enclosures stems from careful material science and advanced manufacturing. A key advantage is the material’s excellent chemical resistance, vital for withstanding potential exposure to battery electrolytes. Our SMC provides a very high strength-to-weight ratio, enabling the construction of strong, rigid enclosures that can securely house heavy battery packs while contributing to overall vehicle or system lightweighting—a crucial factor for EV range and efficiency. Furthermore, these enclosures are designed for a long service life, resisting environmental degradation and maintaining their protective qualities over time. Our commitment extends to ensuring these vital components meet high safety standards.
Advanced Molding Technology for Optimized Battery Enclosure Designs
Kaerda (Jiangsu Lantai) utilizes its advanced technological capabilities in SMC production and molding to create highly optimized battery enclosures. Our facilities are equipped with 5 advanced SMC sheet production lines and a versatile array of 16 different tonnage molding machines, including large-capacity presses like our 2500T unit. This extensive infrastructure enables the efficient, high-volume production of various battery enclosure sizes and complex geometries, crucial for maximizing space utilization within EV chassis or energy storage units. The inherent design flexibility of SMC, coupled with our precision molding technology, allows for the integration of features such as mounting bosses, cooling channels, and intricate ribbing directly into the enclosure structure, reducing assembly complexity and enhancing overall performance at a comparatively low cost for the level of performance achieved.
Production Scale
High-capacity SMC production (over 60,000 tons/year) and large-tonnage molding capabilities suitable for diverse battery enclosure sizes and designs.
Design Optimization
Technology facilitating complex, space-efficient enclosure designs with integrated features, optimizing for both performance and manufacturing cost.
