Due to the increasing demand for lithium battery recycling and the need for electronic waste treatment, More and more companies invest in the processing of lithium batteries. For example, he 25 September of 2024, A customer from Mexico asked how to install an electronic waste disposal line. 500 kg/h for lithium battery processing. This client told us “… complete line, from the reception of used lithium batteries to the extraction of precious metals. With a capacity of 500 kg/h… send me the design, price…” The following are the specific details of our communication in this case:

What is the basic equipment of a lithium battery recycling plant?

This Mexican customer wanted to buy a complete lithium battery recycling line, from shredding waste lithium batteries to metal collection, with a capacity of 500 kg/h. Then, during subsequent communications, asked us what equipment is needed in a complete lithium battery recycling production line in detail. In general, contains the following machines:

To get more metal from used lithium batteries, first you have to crush them into small pieces. In general, In this step you can obtain pieces of used lithium batteries from between 30 y 40 mm.

Do you want to recycle metal more easily? Do you expect to dispose of the lithium battery with a simple process? This shredder is essential. Can crush small pieces into smaller pieces. The thinner the pieces, the better the metal collection will be.

After grinding, it is time to preliminarily separate waste from lithium batteries. In this case, The air separator can be of great help. This machine is composed of a fan and a linear vibratory screen. And it has two layers of sieves: the upper sieve is mesh 30 and the lower sieve is mesh 120.

The diaphragm represents between the 3 and the 5 % of the proportion of lithium battery and occupies the largest volume. That is why it is very important. But, How to select the diaphragm of the used lithium battery? To do this, a diaphragm rating system is needed. It is a complete set of equipment consisting of an air flow separator + diaphragm fan + diaphragm box + pulse dust collector. And adopts vibration screening process + air flow separation.

After separating the diaphragm, the next step of material separation can be carried out. At the moment, it takes a magnetic separator. Because the magnetic separation conveyor is equipped with a magnetic separation device, can separate magnetic materials (iron casing, nickel tape, etc.) in lithium battery.

Some substances are difficult to extract when mixed, so a device is needed that can separate them. And severity separator it is essential. For example, A mixture of copper and aluminum can be sieved with a gravity separator due to the difference in their specific gravity. The front end of the separator is copper particles with heavier specific gravity and the rear end is aluminum particles with lighter specific gravity.

During the recycling process, An exhaust gas treatment system is required to clean the harmful emissions produced. Includes a spray tower, an activated carbon adsorption box, oxygen with ultraviolet light and a pulsed dust collector.

What is the design of a lithium battery recycling plant? 500 kg/h?

When you want to install a lithium battery disposal plant, The factory area are also two aspects that must be taken into account.. In general, The entire lithium battery processing area is divided into three parts:

  • Download area: As the name suggests, This is an area for battery discharge. lithium. Y, in general, will vary depending on download methods. You can choose to use special flushing equipment or immerse yourself in salt water to flush. Different download methods will affect the size of your site layout. For example, Mexico customers wanted to use special unloading equipment to dispose 500 kg of lithium batteries used per hour. You must prepare an area 10 a 20 M2. Includes the area occupied by the safety distance, ventilation and exhaust, protective measures, etc. And if you choose the salt water discharge method, the occupied area will be different. We will make measurements on site according to your factory to get the results.

  • Lithium battery recycling workshop: This area is designed for the installation of equipment, from crusher to separation. To recycle lithium batteries 500 kg/h, They need between 500 y 1000 M2.

  • Final metal storage area: In addition to the two areas mentioned above, it is also necessary to prepare a place to store the metal. However, this requires a small area.

How much does it cost to install a lithium battery disposal plant? 500 kg/h in Mexico?

Finally, The client from Mexico requested a quote for a lithium battery recycling production line with a capacity of 500 kg/h. Due to the use of Electronic waste recycling equipment quality, the price is between 15 000 y 36 000 dollars. Can I install a lithium battery processing plant 500 kg/h in Mexico at a lower cost? The answer is yes. You can only buy some necessary recycling machines. And we will adjust the equipment according to your actual situation. Therefore, has a cheaper price.
