Feeding & Safe Shredding: The process begins with the Feeding Belt, which delivers the discharged batteries to the Single Shaft Shredder. Under the safeguard of the Nitrogen Protection System, the batteries are safely shredded into 2-3 cm fragments. This inert atmosphere effectively prevents fire and explosion during mechanical impact, achieving the preliminary liberation of shells, anode/cathode sheets, and separators.

Pyrolysis & Tail Gas Treatment: The shredded materials are then transferred to the Pyrolysis Furnace. This furnace indirectly heats the material to evaporate the electrolyte, roast the battery scraps, and thermally remove/carbonize the separation films (PP/PET). The volatilized electrolyte gases are directed to the Secondary Burning Chamber for high-temperature incineration into harmless gases. The resulting flue gas is then thoroughly purified by the Tail Gas Treatment System (incorporating a Scrubber, Activated Carbon, and Catalytic Combustion) to ensure compliance with environmental standards.

Zigzag Air Classification & Magnetic Separation: After thermal treatment, the dry materials enter the Zigzag Airflow Separator. Utilizing the differences in density and aerodynamics, the separator draws light materials (such as plastic, film, and aluminum scraps) upward, while heavy materials (anode/cathode sheets and iron shells) fall to the bottom. Subsequently, a Magnetic Separator uses magnetic force to extract and recover the steel/iron shells from the heavy mixture, achieving ferrous metal recovery.

Coarse Screening & Multi-stage Crushing: The remaining heavy materials are fed into the first Rotary Drum Screen to screen out the liberated black mass (valuable electrode powder). The oversize materials (unstripped scraps) are conveyed to a Crusher with a Noise-Proof Room, which fine-crushes the anode and cathode metal fragments to knock down the tightly bonded black mass in a sound-attenuated environment.

Secondary Screening & Fine Grinding: The output from the crusher is screened again via another Rotary Drum Screen or Liner Vibration Screen to separate the newly dislodged black mass. The copper and aluminum metallic concentrates are then sent to the Grinder, which finely grinds and shears the granules to completely detach and release any remaining black mass from the metal foils.

Cyclone Dust Collection, Fine Screening & Airflow Separation: The airborne, ultra-fine black mass generated during grinding is recovered with high purity by the Cyclone Separator. Meanwhile, the processed stream undergoes final screening via a Liner Vibration Screen to remove the last traces of black mass. In the final stage, the copper and aluminum mixture is processed by the Airflow Separator, which utilizes density differences to achieve high-efficiency, high-purity separation of copper and aluminum granules.

FINAL PRODUCTS:

The final products are black mass, aluminum granule, copper granule, plastic, steel shell and separator plastic etc. The output will vary depending on the type of battery.

CORE ADVANTAGES:

1.Unmatched Cell Compatibility

Our lithium battery recycling plant is engineered to handle a wide spectrum of spent batteries, regardless of their complexity, shape, or chemistry:

Cell Form Factors: Fully compatible with Cylindrical cells (e.g., 18650, 21700, 32650), Pouch cells, and Prismatic hard-shell cells.

Battery Chemistries: Covers Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP), Nickel Manganese Cobalt (NMC/NCA), and Lithium Cobalt Oxide (LCO).

Application Scenarios: Supports large-scale processing ranging from small consumer electronics (phones, laptops) to massive Electric Vehicle (EV) battery packs and Energy Storage Systems (ESS).

2.High-Purity Black Mass Recovery

The core value of lithium battery recycling lies in the "Black Mass." Our process utilizes multi-stage precision sorting to ensure maximum economic returns:

Black Mass Purity: Leveraging advanced sorting technology, the recovery purity of black mass exceeds 98%.

Multi-Component Separation: The system efficiently isolates high-purity copper foil, aluminum foil, plastic separators, and casing metals (Aluminum/Iron).

Output Value: The recovered black mass is rich in rare metals like lithium, cobalt, and nickel, which can be directly fed into hydrometallurgical processes for a true closed-loop resource cycle.

3.Industrial Safety & Fire Protection

Addressing the flammable and explosive nature of lithium batteries, we have integrated an industry-leading safety control system:

Nitrogen Protection System: An inert gas (Nitrogen) is injected during the fully enclosed crushing process to keep oxygen levels below the safety threshold, fundamentally eliminating fire and explosion risks.

Sealed Environment: The entire crushing and sorting sequence operates under negative pressure in a sealed environment, effectively preventing the leakage of electrolyte volatile gases.

Eco-friendly Treatment: Equipped with pulse dust collectors and acid gas scrubbing towers, the system ensures that exhaust emissions strictly comply with international environmental standards (ISO/CE certified).
