He 16 February 2025, A customer from India requested the installation of a lithium battery recycling plant. I needed a mechanical lithium battery recycling machine first.. This machine can achieve a recycling rate higher than 90 %. To do this, We recommend the mechanical lithium battery disposal line with a capacity of 500 kg/h. Next, details of our communication in this case are detailed:

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

India's lithium battery recycler required a mechanical method. Therefore, The design of a standard lithium battery disposal plant 500 kg/h adopts corresponding machinery. The main flow of the lithium battery recycling process consists of 14 machines: conveyor belt, single shaft crusher, carbonization oven with external heating, bucket elevator, deflector separator, wind transporter, drum deduster, hammer mill, drum magnetic separator, turbine mill, Circular vibratory screen, air flow sieve, pulse dust collector and quantitative material receiving box. In this configuration,

  • Las single shaft crushers are used in lithium battery recycling equipment as the first crushing stage. Its main function is to open the lithium battery packaging and crush the core, separating the battery packs for later drying, carbonization and classification.

  • The baffle separator is used to separate battery cases during lithium battery recycling. The mixed materials are introduced into the separator from the top and dispersed evenly through the tortuous internal flow.

  • Drum deduster is used in lithium battery recycling to screen and dedust crushed lithium batteries. The feeding method is pneumatic and the screen mesh is 120 mesh.

  • Turbine mill is used in lithium battery disposal to re-grind the crushed and de-pulverized materials to separate the remaining positive and negative electrode materials from the current collector.

Can the drum dedusting machine separate the black powder into 120 mesh?

Yeah. The mesh number of drum dedusting machine is 120 tights.

The material is fed by an air conveying system, with a large screening area and a long career, allowing for efficient dust removal. Besides, The team has its own cleaning system, which effectively removes black powder residue and prevents waste. The equipment's octagonal housing increases screening efficiency by 20 %.

How long does it take to recover the investment in a lithium battery recycling plant? 500 kg/h?

When estimating the construction time of a lithium battery recycling plant, it is necessary to know the cost of the equipment. To purchase it at Yushunxin, investment for a lithium battery recycling plant 500 kg/h is approximately $140,600 EXW. The details are as follows:

Equipment Capacity (kg/h) Power (kW) Quantity Quote (USD)
Belt conveyor 2.2 3 $4,500
Single shaft shredder 500 22 1 $18,000
Externally heated carbonization furnace 500 45 1 $28,000
Bucket elevator 2.2 2 $5,600
Baffle separator 500 4 1 $6,800
Wind conveyor 3 2 $4,800
Drum de-powdering machine 500 5.5 1 $7,500
Hammer mill 500 15 1 $9,800
Drum magnetic separator 3 1 $6,200
Turbine mill 500 18.5 1 $12,000
Circular vibrating screener 500 4 1 $7,800
Airflow screener 500 5.5 1 $8,600
Pulse dust collector 7.5 2 $9,000
Quantitative material receiving box 2.2 1 $5,200
PLC control system 1 $6,800
Total (EXW) $140,600

Using locally collected waste lithium batteries, The production cost remains around 400-500 dollars per ton. The sale price on the market for recovered materials, like copper, aluminum, graphite and lithium compounds, average between 800 y 1000 dollars per ton, resulting in a profit margin of between 300 y 500 dollars per ton. At full capacity, a lithium battery recycling plant 500 kg/h can generate an annual net profit of between 2,5 y 4,5 Millions of dollars. However, during operation, There are also ongoing factory rental costs., electricity, labor and equipment maintenance. Even so, The payback period is usually one to two years., what makes the lithium battery recycling plant not only in an ecological solution, but also in a highly profitable and sustainable investment project.
