Proses Makina introduces its latest innovation in battery recycling technology: advanced Shredder Systems specifically designed for the mechanical processing of various battery types. Engineered with a strong focus on efficiency, safety, and sustainability, these shredders are set to transform battery recycling operations worldwide.
Designed and operated in a closed vacuum system and inert nitrogen atmosphere, our shredders can process multiple battery types in a single stage. Whether you’re working with lithium-ion, lead-acid, NMC (Nickel-Manganese-Cobalt), or LFP (Lithium-Iron-Phosphate) batteries, the system ensures safe, clean, and effective shredding with minimal risk of contamination or reaction. By breaking batteries down into manageable components, the shredder system enhances material separation and recovery, ensuring that valuable metals and materials are optimally reclaimed.
The result is reduced waste, higher resource utilization, and increased profitability for your recycling operation. Every recycling facility has unique needs. That’s why Proses Makina offers customizable shredder solutions—from throughput capacity to specific battery chemistries. Whether you’re upgrading an existing line or building a new facility, our shredders integrate seamlessly into your process.
Double Shaft Shredder
The Double Shaft Shredder features two parallel shafts equipped with rotating blades that move in opposite directions. This configuration delivers high torque and robust cutting performance, making it ideal for handling a wide variety of battery types and casing materials. These shredders excel in pre-shredding and size reduction, offering both versatility and durability.
Single Shaft Shredder
The Single Shaft Shredder serves as a secondary crusher, ideal for fine pulverization—particularly crucial for battery types like automotive batteries, which contain higher amounts of liquid electrolyte. Equipped with a single rotating shaft and multiple cutting blades, this shredder is perfect for achieving uniform particle size and handling bulkier or tougher materials.
Proses Makina’s Shredder Systems are designed to meet the evolving needs of modern battery recycling. From the mechanical breakdown to the recovery of valuable resources, we provide the technology that empowers your operation—safely, efficiently, and sustainably.
Technical Specifications
The Battery Shredder System is specifically engineered for the safe and efficient size reduction of lithium-ion batteries, battery modules, battery packs and battery manufacturing scrap. The system operates inside a fully enclosed inert atmosphere to minimize fire and explosion risks while maximizing black mass recovery and downstream process efficiency.
