ELECTRODE ACTIVE MATERIAL LAYER MANUFACTURING DEVICE, AND ELECTRODE ACTIVE MATERIAL LAYER MANUFACTURING METHOD EMPLOYING SAME

A production apparatus of an electrode active material layer comprises: a feeding unit feeding granulated particles; a conveying unit conveying the particles; a support unit supporting the particles; a squeegee unit spaced above the support unit and leveling the particles to form a granulated particle layer; a rolling unit rolling the granulated particle layer to form an electrode active material layer; and a pair of stock guide units each having a plate shape. The stock guide units are respectively disposed to be parallel to the squeegee unit. An upstream end of the stock guide unit is located upstream of a position of a gap between the support unit and the squeegee unit. A downstream end of the stock guide unit is located downstream of the position of the gap. A distance between side surfaces of the stock guide units is equivalent to the electrode active material layer's width.
