These are our Application Centers
Quintus Application Centers are arenas where world-leading knowledge is spread and unique products are displayed. They are places for customers, researchers, industry representatives, students, and staff to meet and see the latest technology, share engineering skills as well as participate in training. They are places where we solve advanced application issues and provide tailor-made solutions and industry-specific customer support.
Benefits for you
The Perfect Set-Up
The centers are equipped for high-pressure demonstrations, tool and process development, customer application training, and for new process and equipment development purposes. The machines and software are state of the art. Your project is guaranteed confidentiality.
World-Class Expertise
It’s hard to have the perfect research and experimental set-up at your own facility. As a Quintus Technologies customer, you have access to our Application Centers led by technology experts.
Hands-On Research
Your engineers are probably looking for solutions, or answers to their technical challenges online. They probably read a lot of white papers on the subject, and watch hours of interesting videos. However, they will always want to do some hands-on research. This is where Quintus High-Pressure Application Centers can play a significant role
How it works
After a feasibility study, we present a proposal for an optimized tool layout, application methods, and machining strategies. In the process validation phase, we simulate and verify the process and provide training. We give you a detailed documentation. Finally, we implement the turnkey solution – complete and ready to use – at your facility, we get our hands dirty together, setting things up so that we see the process in operation. You reap the benefits right from the start.

Application Centers for High Pressure Food Processing (HPP)
Application Centers services are available to any food or beverage company wanting to advance the commercial growth of HPP foods.
Advance the commercial growth
Despite thousands of commercial HPP products currently available around the globe, one source of continued frustration to more food companies is the time involved in the realization of new HPP product market rollouts. Quintus Technologies HPP Application Centers’ main objective is to reduce these delays by putting internal and external HPP expertise to work.
The Centers menu of services spans the entire HPP development process, from optimized product formulations and packaging to in-house pathogen studies and assistance with HACCP implementation and regulatory compliance. In both scope and pace, evaluation and support offerings are geared to accelerate the speed at which processors bring new HPP products to market.
Application Centers services are available to any food or beverage company wanting to advance the commercial growth of HPP foods.
Accelerating New Product Launches
HPP facilitates the development of unique foods without sacrificing product taste, nutrition, and refrigerated shelf life while avoiding food safety risks. That meets the increasing customer demand for healthier, preservative-free and safer food.
To ensure compliance with regulatory requirements, Quintus provides in-house, validation challenges, and shelf-life studies to save time and ensure business opportunities are capitalized in an efficient manner.
Working directly with the Quintus Application experts and HPP Food Scientists minimizes the need for third parties while providing better control of the timeline for market launches.

FAQ
The batch characteristic is an important topic for discussion. Our simulation shows that automation of the loading, unloading and densification won’t be a challenge for the implementation of isostatic pressing in the overall process. Additionally, the speed of stacking/winding is limiting the process speed before densification.
The upfront investment seems high, but is rather low compared to other machinery used in today’s battery manufacturing. Calculations with a realistic cost-model we established, put isostatic pressing in the lower cent area per KWh. The calculation model fits different parameters, the ones that show a high impact are pouch dimensions and vessel size, which can be adapted to customers preferences.
From the two vessel technologies, mono-block and wire-wound, the wire-wound technology systems can be scaled up to a cylinder volume of 2000 L.
That depends on the cells design for an in-situ (or anode-free) lithium metal anode concept Quintus proposes a densification step of whole pouch cells. This position would fit the isostatic press after stacking and pouching.
The production series of warm isostatic battery presses are able to deliver pressures up to 600 MPa, while reaching temperatures of 150 degree Celsius (pressure media can be water or oil).
We are open for different approaches, but focusing more on the pouch cell format. Concepts featuring a lithium metal anode or in situ lithium metal anode are very interesting for us on a production level of testing. We are testing solid-state electrolyte systems featuring sulfides, oxides and composites on a daily basis in our application centers in Sweden and the US.
