Waste lithium battery recycling and processing equipment usually consists of multiple parts, including but not limited to:

1. Discharge equipment: used to discharge the remaining power in the waste lithium battery to ensure the safety of the subsequent processing process. There are battery pack dischargers, and there are also salt water discharges. Although live crushing is theoretically feasible, there are still certain risks in the actual production process. Compared with early discharge, it is safer.

2. Pyrolysis equipment: Generally, high-end equipment uses a more mature medium-temperature pyrolysis furnace for pyrolysis treatment. Low-end equipment is replaced by a low-end dryer, and the treatment effect is also very different. The medium-temperature pyrolysis furnace is more fully configured, and the subsequent positive and negative electrode de-powdering effect is better. The purity is higher. The low-end dryer only dries the electrolyte.

3. Crushing equipment: such as shredders, crushers, grinders, etc., used to de-powder or grind the waste lithium batteries into more uniform particles during the crushing and beating process, which is convenient for subsequent sorting and recycling.

4. Sorting equipment: such as magnetic separators, drum screens, circular vibrating screens, air separators, airflow separators, etc., are used to sort the crushed materials to separate different materials, such as lithium battery black powder, positive and negative copper and aluminum, battery shells, etc.

5. Environmental protection equipment: used for centralized dust removal, alkali spraying, activated carbon adsorption and other environmentally friendly treatment of dust, waste smoke and waste gas in the production process of the entire production line, making the production process more green and environmentally friendly.

Waste lithium battery equipment is suitable for recycling various types of lithium batteries, including but not limited to the following:

Electric vehicle power battery: This is the main power source of new energy electric vehicles. Common ones include lithium iron phosphate batteries and ternary lithium batteries. Both batteries can be recycled through waste lithium battery crushing equipment.

Mobile phone lithium batteries: With the popularity of electronic products, mobile phone lithium batteries have also become a common waste lithium battery. Although this type of battery is small in size, it can also be recycled through crushing equipment.

Mobile tool lithium batteries: For example, lithium battery hand drills, angle grinders, electric hammers, etc., the lithium batteries in these tools can also be recycled after being scrapped.

UAV aircraft lithium batteries: The lithium batteries used in drone aircraft can also be recycled through crushing equipment after being scrapped.

In addition, waste lithium battery crushing equipment can also process other types of lithium batteries, such as cylindrical lithium batteries, 18650 lithium batteries, soft-pack lithium batteries, steel-shell lithium batteries, etc. These devices usually have a wide range of applications and can process lithium batteries with shells of various different materials, including soft packs, hard shells, steel shells, etc.

The working principle of waste lithium battery recycling and processing equipment usually includes the following steps:

Pretreatment: Remove the shell, electrolyte and other inactive materials of waste lithium batteries to reduce the difficulty and cost of subsequent processing.

Crushing: Use crushing equipment to crush waste lithium batteries into smaller particles or powders.

Sorting: Use sorting equipment to sort the crushed materials to separate different materials. The separated different materials are collected in a centralized manner.

Recycling: Further recycle and process the sorted valuable materials to extract useful elements or compounds.
