WANROOETECH provides complete lithium battery recycling plants that safely discharge, shred, crush, and separate valuable materials from used batteries. Our mechanical and physical recycling process operates with low energy consumption, achieving efficient recovery of copper, aluminum, graphite powder, and lithium cobaltate from waste lithium batteries. The entire system runs under negative pressure with zero dust leakage and separation efficiency reaching 99% or higher. As global demand for battery materials grows and environmental regulations tighten, lithium battery resource recovery offers both strong economic returns and sustainable development potential.

Why Lithium Battery Recycling Is Essential？

Lithium-ion batteries contain valuable and scarce resources including lithium, cobalt, nickel, and copper. When discarded improperly, these batteries release toxic electrolytes and heavy metals that contaminate soil and water sources. The electrodes, made by coating conductive foil with active battery slurry, hold concentrated amounts of recoverable metals.
Professional recycling eliminates these environmental hazards while recovering over 95% of contained metals for reuse. This closed-loop approach reduces dependence on virgin mining by up to 60%, cuts production energy consumption significantly, and ensures compliance with tightening environmental regulations worldwide including the EU Battery Regulation. Recycling transforms waste batteries into a sustainable raw material source that supports the circular economy.

Lithium Battery Disposal Recycling Process:

1.Discharge Tank — Used lithium batteries are fully discharged through controlled self-discharging or salt water immersion, eliminating electrical hazards before processing begins.
2.Conveyor Belt — Safely transports discharged batteries to the shredding unit for continuous automated feeding.
3.Double Shaft Shredder — Shreds whole batteries into coarse pieces. Fire prevention is ensured through nitrogen inerting or an economical water-spraying system.
4.Heating Oven — Electrically heated drying chamber removes residual electrolyte and moisture from shredded material, preparing it for fine crushing.
5.Hammer Crusher — Reduces material size to 8–20mm fragments, breaking down battery components for subsequent separation.
6.First Suspended Magnetic Separator — Removes ferrous metals and iron impurities from the crushed material.
7.Second Suspended Magnetic Separator — Performs secondary magnetic separation for cleaner iron removal and improved metal purity.
8.Vibrating Sieving Powder Device — Separates fine carbon powder through the bottom screen while retaining insulation diaphragm material at the top layer.
9.Pulverizer Machine — Grinds metal fractions into 15–20 mesh fine powder, optimizing particle size for air classification.
10.Airflow Separator — Uses specific gravity sorting to stratify and separate carbon powder, copper powder, and aluminum film powder based on density differences.
11.Electstatic Separator (Optional) — Provides additional purification of metal powders through electrostatic charge differentiation for higher purity output.
12.Pulse Dust Collector — Captures and filters all airborne dust and particulates from the complete recycling line, ensuring exhaust gas meets emission standards before release.

Lithium Battery Disposal Recycling Working principle:

The lithium battery disposal recycling equipment production line first discharges the lithium battery with electricity through the discharge tank, and then sends it to the double shaft shredder through the conveyor belt material for shredding, and the shredded lithium battery goes into the heating oven to dry the electrolyte and moisture of the battery, and then sends it to the hammer crusher through the conveyor for crushing, and the crushed lithium battery goes into the suspended magnetic separation, which can sort out the iron in the lithium battery, and then through the second level of suspended magnetic separation The second separation of metal, the metal in which will be separated more cleanly, after the separation of lithium batteries through the vibrating sieve powder device at the bottom to separate the carbon powder, the upper part of the separation of the insulation diaphragm. The powder state of the lithium battery processed through the pulverizer machine is fed by the negative pressure system into the cyclone separator for air filtration and falls through the fan to the airflow separator so that the different densities of the material are layered to get the metal sorted out and further separated from the metal powder through the electrostatic separator while all the non-metals are brought into the pulse dust collector by the negative pressure system for concentration. The filtered tail gas will continue to be sent by the negative pressure system to the tail gas treatment equipment for air purification to meet emission standards before being discharged into the air.

Lithium Battery Disposal Recycling Features:
