GUANS GROUP complete lead acid battery recycling plants for processing spent automotive, industrial, UPS and stationary batteries. From battery breaking to lead paste treatment, smelting, refining and ingot casting.
Lead Acid Battery Structure
A typical lead acid battery contains several materials that require different treatment methods during recycling.
Lead Grid
The metallic lead components can be separated during the mechanical recycling stage and sent to the smelting process.
Lead Paste
Lead paste contains lead compounds and represents an important source of recoverable lead. It normally requires dedicated treatment before smelting.
Polypropylene Plastic
Battery casings are commonly made from polypropylene. After separation and washing, the plastic can be processed for recycling.
Sulfuric Acid Electrolyte
The electrolyte must be collected and treated through an appropriate acid neutralization or wastewater treatment system.
Separators
Separator materials and fine residues are handled according to the plant’s process configuration and local environmental requirements.
Result: Crude lead, refined lead, lead alloys, PP plastic and other recovered materials.
Final Products
A complete lead acid battery recycling plant turn spent batteries into valuable resources, including metallic lead, lead paste, polypropylene plastic and sulfuric acid electrolyte.
Refined Lead
High-purity lead obtained after refining, suitable for downstream use.
Crude Lead
Impure lead from smelting, requiring further refining before use.
Lead Grid
Metallic lead components recovered during mechanical separation.
Lead Slime
Lead-bearing residue from refining or washing, requiring further recovery or disposal.
Lead Paste
Lead-containing paste requiring dedicated treatment before or during the smelting route.
PP Plastic
PP battery casing separated for washing and further recycling.
Technical Parameters
Lead-acid battery recycling machines can be customized according to customer requirements regarding production capacity, voltage, and power.

Note: Actual capacity, recovery rate, equipment configuration and final product purity depend on battery composition, feedstock condition, plant design and local environmental requirements.
Lead Acid Battery Recycling Process
The complete lead acid battery recycling process combines mechanical separation, material treatment, thermal processing and refining technologies to recover valuable materials from spent batteries.
Spent Lead Acid Batteries → Battery Feeding & Acid Drainage(Acid → Collection → Neutralization / Treatment) → Battery Crushing / Breaking → Lead & Plastic Separation(PP Plastic → Washing → Drying → Plastic Recycling) → Lead Paste Separation → Paste Desulfurization → Lead Smelting → Crude Lead → Lead Refining(Furnace Gas → Dust Collection → Gas Treatment) → Lead Ingot Casting.
Complete Plant Solution: Battery Breaking → Separation → Smelting → Refining
