Sustainability impact

Equipment engineered for long-lasting operation and built from recyclable materials, in line with the principles of the circular economy.

Key features

Safety through nitrogen protection

Shredding under a nitrogen atmosphere neutralizes the fire and explosion risk from residual electrolytes.

Three valuable products

Black mass (Li, Ni, Co, Mn), copper granules and aluminum granules, each with its own market.

Process gas treatment

Pyrolysis gases pass through secondary combustion, scrubber, activated carbon and catalytic combustion before discharge.
