DRY ELECTRODE FABRICATING APPARATUS AND METHOD

A dry electrode fabricating apparatus and method are disclosed. A dry electrode fabricating apparatus includes a chute including an inner space in which an electrode powder is accommodated, an inlet port through which the electrode powder is input to the inner space, and an outlet port through which the electrode powder is discharged from the inner space, a pair of calender rolls through which the electrode powder discharged through the outlet port passes and by which the electrode powder is compressed into an electrode film, a temperature sensor to measure a temperature of the chute, a chute moving part, and a controller configured to control the chute moving part such that the chute-calender roll distance becomes greater than a reference distance if the temperature of the chute is higher than or equal to a reference temperature.
