Lithium-ion Battery Recycling Equipment & Shredders
BCA Industries stands as the leading manufacturer of industrial lithium-ion battery recycling machines and equipment in the United States. Our advanced systems are engineered and manufactured entirely in the U.S.A., capable of processing tons of Li-ion material per hour while maintaining the highest standards of efficiency and safety.
Advanced Lithium-ion Battery Recycling Technology
The scientific complexity of lithium-ion batteries presents unique challenges for industrial-scale recycling. Our state-of-the-art li-ion battery shredders address these challenges through a progressive reduction system that transforms batteries into valuable, reusable materials without requiring disassembly.
High-Value Output Products
Our advanced processing technology generates two primary valuable outputs:
- Battery-grade precursor cathode active material (pCAM)
- “Black mass” containing essential elements like Graphite, Lithium, Manganese, Cobalt & Nickel.
Comprehensive Battery Processing System
Through our specialized Lithibatt division, we’ve developed cutting-edge hydro-nitrogen battery recycling systems that set new standards in the industry. Our systems are designed for maximum efficiency and safety, handling large-scale operations and smaller processing needs. Our battery recycling and processing system is engineered to maximize profitability and accelerate production.
| Profit Opportunity | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Industry Collaboration | By integrating complementary recycling technologies, we recover more valuable materials while reducing operational costs. |
| Recycled Materials | As demand for recycled Li-ion battery materials grows, our systems support the development of regional facilities to meet that demand efficiently. |
| Increasing Value | Filtered black mass can go directly into pCAM or new applications, helping close the loop on battery production and increasing ROI. |
| Lowering Costs | Our technology reduces battery production costs and cuts emissions tied to raw material transportation. |
Our Advanced Three-Stage Shredding Process
- Primary Shredding Reduction: The primary shredding reduction uses a fully submerged, watertight system that handles up to 3,000lb packs and processes whole charged EV packs or multiple smaller packs.
- Secondary Shredding Reduction: The secondary shredding reduction features a water-filled auger feed system for controlled size reduction and maintains safety through enclosed processing.
- Triplus Reduction: The Triplus reduction provides final size reduction to desired specifications, offering precise control over output material size and is optimized for downstream processing.
Integrated Processing Systems for Lithium-ion Recycling
- Advanced Water System with Black Mass Separation
- High-efficiency Drying System with Ferrous Separation
- Precision Downstream Mill System to Ten Mesh Sizing
- Sophisticated Filtration and Separation Systems for: PCAM, Graphite & Lithium Carbonate (Supplied by Green LI-ION)
Revolutionary System Features Safety and Efficiency
This closed-loop system eliminates effluent discharge while processing fully charged battery packs and modules, removing the need for costly disassembly and discharge. Integrated safety systems ensure secure and efficient operation throughout the entire process.
Advanced Control Systems with Custom Solutions
Our advanced control systems offer custom power and control options with comprehensive diagnostics, including programmable features for electric systems, hydraulic controls, water management, temperature monitoring, and air system regulation. At our demonstration and testing facility, you can process your own materials, gather performance data, evaluate system capabilities, and customize solutions tailored to your specific needs, with the option to purchase complete systems or individual components.
