So as to perform a vacuum surface treatment on a workpiece at a predetermined temperature, which is different from a temperature to which the surface is exposed during the vacuum surface treatment, the workpiece is conveyed in a conveyance direction along one or more than one station group including one or more than one tempering station and of a single treatment station.

According to one embodiment, a system for manufacturing a fully impregnated thermoplastic prepreg includes a mechanism for moving a fabric or mat and a drying mechanism that removes residual moisture from at least one surface of the fabric or mat. The system also includes a resin application mechanism that applies a reactive resin to the fabric or mat and a press mechanism that presses the coated fabric or mat to ensure that the resin fully saturates the fabric or mat. The system further includes a curing oven through which the coated fabric or mat is moved to polymerize the resin and thereby form a thermoplastic polymer so that upon exiting the oven, the fabric or mat is fully impregnated with the thermoplastic polymer. During at least a portion of the process, humidity in the vicinity of the coated fabric or mat is maintained at substantially zero.

The present application discloses a drying device and an electrode plate manufacturing apparatus. The drying device for drying a material comprises: a first oven section; a second oven section; and a third oven section, the first oven section, the second oven section and the third oven section being arranged sequentially in a movement direction of the material, wherein the second oven section has a larger air outlet area than the first oven section, and the first oven section has a larger air outlet area than the third oven section, such that the air speed of the first oven section is greater than that of the second oven section, and the air speed of the third oven section is greater than that of the first oven section. The solution provided by the present application can increase the production efficiency of batteries.

Disclosed herein are floor tiles comprising, for instance, a substrate and a surface coating provided on an upper surface of the substrate, wherein the surface coating comprises (i) a base formula comprising a glaze and (ii) solid particles comprising tabular alumina.
