Large Slurry Mixer
Public summary
Generated or condensed from imported source text. Verify before bidding.
This is an open Request for Information (RFI) from the National Research Council of Canada (NRC), not necessarily a request for an immediate purchase or contract bid. NRC is gathering information about commercially available large slurry mixers for its Clean Energy Innovation Research Centre in Boucherville, Quebec. The equipment would be used to prepare viscous battery electrode slurries for research, prototyping, and possible future scale-up. NRC is interested in systems that may offer: - Planetary and dispersive mixing - Vacuum mixing and degassing - Temperature control - Compatibility with water, NMP, GVL, DMF, DMSO, and similar battery-processing materials - Automated controls and process data logging - Safe operation by one user - Flexibility for different battery chemistries and future development This opportunity could potentially match Canadian or international manufacturers, distributors, and technology providers of industrial or laboratory-scale mixing equipment. The notice does not by itself confirm that NRC will purchase equipment or issue a later procurement. The stated closing date is November 16, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. The listing references Canada/Ottawa, Quebec, while the description identifies Boucherville, Quebec; suppliers should confirm the applicable location and submission requirements in the official notice. Review the full RFI and any associated instructions before responding, including the required technical information, commercial details, solvent compatibility evidence, safety documentation, and submission method.Official document: https://canadabuys.canada.ca/sites/default/files/webform/tender_notice/111601/26-58201_rfi_large_slurry_mixer_en.pdf

The National Research Council of Canada (NRC), through its Clean Energy Innovation Research Centre (CEI) in Boucherville, Québec, is seeking information regarding commercially available large slurry mixers suitable for the preparation of viscous battery electrode slurries used in a battery prototyping line. The mixer will be used to prepare electrode slurries for advanced battery technologies, including lithium-ion and emerging battery chemistries. The equipment is intended to improve slurry preparation efficiency, process consistency, scalability, and operational flexibility while supporting research, development, and prototyping activities. The NRC requires a robust and versatile mixing platform capable of handling viscous slurries under controlled temperature and vacuum conditions while providing process monitoring and data logging capabilities. NRC is seeking information on equipment compatible with common battery slurry solvents, including water, N-Methylpyrrolidone (NMP), Gamma-Valerolactone (GVL), Dimethylformamide (DMF), and Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO).Objectives: The primary objective of this Request for Information (RFI) is to identify and evaluate commercially available large slurry mixers suitable for the preparation of battery electrode slurries in a research and pilot-scale environment. NRC is particularly interested in systems that provide: • High-performance planetary and dispersive mixing capabilities. • Vacuum-assisted mixing and degassing. • Temperature control during mixing operations. • Compatibility with aggressive battery slurry solvents and materials. • Automated process control and data logging. • Flexibility for future process development and scale-up activities. • Safe operation by a single user. The information gathered through this RFI will assist NRC in understanding the current state of available technologies, identifying relevant capabilities and limitations, and informing the development of future technical requirements.
