Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Solutions will showcase its latest fluid handling technologies for the battery industry at the 18th China International Battery Fair 2026, taking place from May 13–15, 2026.
Visitors to the Watson-Marlow stand will discover reliable fluid path solutions designed to support the consistent transfer of shear-sensitive slurries, accurate chemical dosing, and uninterrupted process performance in battery manufacturing applications.
According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), China dominates global lithium-ion battery manufacturing capacity, supported by strong growth in electric vehicle and energy storage demand. China’s lithium-ion battery output in January–April 2025 surpassed 473 GWh, marking a 68% year-on-year increase, according to China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.
“With China at the centre of global battery manufacturing growth, Watson-Marlow’s Qdos® chemical metering and dosing pumps, including the Qdos H-FLO, deliver accuracy of ±1% and repeatability of ±0.5%, helping manufacturers reduce chemical consumption, lower operating costs, and minimise emissions associated with chemical handling and deliveries,” said Jose Longo, Head of Process Industries, APAC.
Echoing the sustainability and advanced battery innovation themes of China International Battery Fair 2026, Watson-Marlow also participated in the event’s poster competition using the analogy of traffic flow.
Faith Tang, APAC Marketing Process Industries, explained: “You can think of us as a one-stop solution provider that helps clear ‘traffic blockages’ in production processes, enabling manufacturers to achieve smooth, efficient, and bottleneck-free operations with high productivity. Slurry delivery is a critical step in battery manufacturing—especially in lithium-ion battery production—as it directly impacts the quality, consistency, and performance of the final cells. Our pump technology enables zero metal contamination, precise metering, ease of maintenance, reduced downtime, and reliable delivery. We welcome visitors to our booth at CIBF — Hall 12B, Booth 185 — to learn more.”
The company will also display Bredel heavy-duty hose pumps, built to handle abrasive slurries used in battery manufacturing. These pumps can transfer fluids with solids concentrations of up to 80% while offering reliable, low-maintenance performance.
In addition, Aflex PTFE-lined hoses will be showcased for their strong chemical resistance and contamination-free fluid transfer, supporting efficient operation under high pressure and temperatures up to 260°C.
Visitors can explore these fluid handling solutions at Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Solutions Stand Hall 12B, Booth 185 during the China International Battery Fair 2026.
