(US5316557-A)      Mfg. alkaline cells in which cathode moulds are closely contacted against an internal wall of a cathode container comprises (a) coating a conductive paint contg. a conductive material comprising a C-system on an area of internal wall of the container, and (b) heating the container by applying electro-magnetic induction heating to dry and/or cure the paint coating so as to form a conductive film on the internal wall of the container.    The surface temp. of the cathode container is pref. 150-250 deg.C. An anti-alkaline and anti-oxidation resin selected from PVC, PVAc, VC-vinyl acetate copolymer PE and epoxy is used as a binder for the paint.    ADVANTAGE -   It is possible to continuously produce alkaline cells having excellent and uniform load characteristics which deteriorate very little.    (EP561581-B1)      A manufacturing process of alkaline cells in which cathode moulds are closely contacted against the internal wall of a cathode container, comprising: a step of coating a conductive paint containing a dispersion medium, graphite and/or carbon back powder on an area of the internal wall of the cathode container, on which the cathode moulds are contacted, and a step of heating the cathode container to perform at least drying of the paint and/or curing of the paint coating in order to form a conductive film on the internal surface cathode container, characterised by the step of heating the cathode container comprising the application of electromagnetic induction-heating.    (JP2970186-B2)      A manufacturing process of alkaline cells with cathode molds closely contacted against the internal wall of a cathode container comprises: coating a conductive paint contg. carbon system conductive material on an area of the internal wall of the container on which the cathode molds are contacted; and heating the cathode container by applying electromagnetic induction-heating to perform at least drying of the paint and/or curing of the coating to form a conductive film on the internal surface of the container.    USE/ADVANTAGE -   Using the process a continuous rpodn. of alkaline cells having excellent and uniform load characteristics which deteriorate very little is possible. The process is esp. useful for the manufacture of alkaline-Mn cells where Zn is employed as anode active material and MnO2 is used as cathode active and caustic alkali (e.g. KOH) is employed as electrolyte. The magnetic induction current heats the cell case quickly and easily.
