Graphite milling: Navigating safety issues in battery manufacturing.

The article discusses the challenges and safety issues associated with graphite milling in battery manufacturing. Graphite is a crucial component in lithium-ion batteries, but milling it to nano-size for use in batteries is complex. The article highlights the safety risks involved in handling and processing graphite, such as noise levels, high temperatures, dust particles, and the risk of fire. It emphasizes the importance of robust containment, ventilation, fire detection, and prevention systems to mitigate these hazards. The article also introduces Frewitt, a company that offers innovative milling solutions, including the PowerMill PMV-320, which combines containment and micronization to improve safety for operators.
