MODULAR HIGH-VOLTAGE BATTERY HOUSINGS

POLYTEC's modular high-voltage battery housing offers stable protection and meets a wide range of requirements thanks to the combination of different materials. Whether cell carrier, housing cover or tray: each module fulfils specific tasks - from encapsulation and shielding of electromagnetic radiation, cooling and ventilation to impact and fire protection. During development, attention was also paid to improved recyclability through the dismantlability of the individual modules.

GROWING MARKET,

GROWING PORTFOLIO

POLYTEC does not just develop ultralight components for electrically powered cars, which help expand the range of these vehicles. The infinite mouldability of plastic and its combinability with other materials also enable solutions that combine stability, fire protection, heat insulation, crash safety and shielding from electromagnetic radiation in one module. With the establishment of the new Battery Applications Product Line, the traction battery portfolio of the POLYTEC GROUP is growing more diversified year by year.

Highlights:

- Modular solution for prismatic as well as cylindrical battery cells

- Optimised multifunctionality ensures stable protection and increased passenger safety

- In-house product development with consistent environmental and climate protection

HIGH-VOLTAGE BATTERY HOUSINGS

COMPLEX NEW DEVELOPMENT

In a designated engineering stream POLYTEC works on the development of highly stable and fire-proof housings for high-voltage batteries. Such housings are currently primarily manufactured from steel and aluminium; in the future lighter weight solutions should be produced. In 2022, POLYTEC presented a completely new solution made of plastic, which is not only significantly lighter, but also impresses with its functional integration, repairability and recyclability.

The new POLYTEC high-voltage battery housing is made up of five individual modules. Each of them consists of different parts and materials and fulfils special functions such as electromagnetic shielding, cooling and ventilation, or fire and impact protection.

From material selection to the extensive and highly complex test series, the entire development of the battery carrier took place exclusively at POLYTEC. The housing primarily consists of SMC and glass mat reinforced thermoplastics (GMT).

SUSTAINABLE PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

In the development of the modules, the engineers also kept an eye on environmental compatibility every step of the way. All components of the housing can be easily separated at the end of their life cycle, which makes them easier to recycle.
