How to Choose a Suitable Lithium Battery Recycling Plant

Lithium batteries are typically composed of materials such as lithium, cobalt, nickel, manganese and aluminum. Recycling these usable materials from lithium batteries not only reduces waste, but also creates sustainable energy. But how to choose a suitable lithium battery recycling plant?

What machines can be used in recycling lithium battery?

Battery dismantling machine

If you want to realize the continuous production of lithium battery recycling, battery dismantling machine is the first step. The equipment automatically dismantles the waste batteries and improves the traditional technology of crushing and cutting the waste batteries manually, and also protects the operators from injuries during the operation. Therefore, the battery dismantling machine is necessary.

Lithium Battery Shredder

The Lithium Ion Battery Shredder offered by SUNRISE is a machine specifically designed to shred lithium ion batteries into small pieces. By feeding the batteries into the shredding chamber where they are cut into small pieces by the high speed rotating blades. This shredding process makes it easier to extract valuable materials from the batteries, such as cobalt, nickel and lithium.

Lithium battery separator

Separation equipment is one of the key aspects to effectively separate the crushed lithium battery materials to extract reusable resources such as metals, plastics and active materials. Usually sieving, magnetic separation and air classification, electrostatic separation, gravity sorting and other technologies are used.

Exhaust Gas Treatment

In order to ensure that exhaust gas and dust emissions comply with environmental standards, it is often necessary to use a comprehensive proposal of multiple exhaust gas treatment equipment. The choice of spray tower, activated carbon adsorption box, UV photocatalytic equipment, baghouse, or electrostatic precipitator depends on the design of the proposal.

What is the cost of lithium battery recycling line?

For a complete recycling line to extract elements from lithium batteries, the cost is closely related to the equipment design. Here are some examples just for your reference.

50-200 kg/day lithium battery recycling plant budget

Generally speaking, you need $100,000 to $500,000 for your 50-200 kg/day lithium battery recycling line. Because of its small capacity, the process is detailed. Its process usually contains equipment such as crusher, separation equipment, drying equipment, and monitoring and control system.

1-10 tons/day lithium battery recycling plant budget

As for the purchase of a medium volume lithium battery recycling line, it will cost between US$500,000 and US$3,000,000. The layout of a lithium battery recycling plant with a capacity of 1-10 tons/day generally consists of equipment such as crusher, screening equipment, magnetic separator, gravity separation equipment, drying equipment, and exhaust gas treatment system.

10-30 t/day lithium battery recycling plant budget

How about 10-30t/d lithium battery recycling? How much does the whole production line cost? It needs 3 to 10 million dollars. Because of its large capacity, customers need enough budget. It includes equipment such as crusher, screening equipment, magnetic separator, gravity separation equipment, hydrometallurgical equipment, drying equipment, exhaust gas treatment system, monitoring and control system, automated conveying system and safety protection equipment.
