GUANS GROUP provides customized lithium battery recycling plants for processing spent lithium-ion batteries, including NMC, LFP and other lithium-based battery feedstocks.
A lithium battery recycling plant is designed to safely process waste batteries and recover valuable materials through a combination of discharge, size reduction, mechanical separation, classification and material recovery technologies.
Types of Lithium Batteries We Process
Lithium-ion battery recycling plant can be designed for suitable NMC, LFP, EV batteries, battery cells, modules, packs and battery manufacturing scrap.
Lithium Battery Recycling Final Products
Depending on the battery chemistry and process configuration, recoverable materials may include black mass, copper, aluminum, steel, plastics and other material fractions.
Black Mass
Black mass can contain lithium and metals such as nickel, manganese, cobalt or lithium.
Copper
Separated copper foil and copper-rich material can be collected for downstream metal recycling.
Aluminum
Aluminum foil, casings and other suitable aluminum fractions can be recovered through mechanical separation.
Steel Shell
Steel components can be extracted using magnetic separation equipment.
Lithium Battery Recycling Plant Processing Capacity
Lithium ion battery recycling machine can be customized according to customers’ requirements in terms of production capacity, voltage, and power.
| Model | PCS-500 | PCS-1000 | PCS-1500 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Capacity | 500*600kg/h | 800-1000kg/h | 1500-1600kg/h |

| Dimension (L×W×H) | 68*12*6m | 80*14*8m | 86*14*8m |
Note: Actual capacity, recovery performance, product purity depend on battery chemistry, feedstock composition and the selected process route.
Lithium Battery Recycling Process
The complete lithium battery recycling process depends on the battery chemistry and feedstock condition.
A typical lithium-ion battery recycling process comprises the following steps:
Spent Lithium Batteries → Battery Discharging → Dismantling → Shredding → Crushing → Screening → Magnetic Separation → Air / Density Separation → Fine Classification → Black Mass
The hydrometallurgical battery recycling process comprises the following steps:
Black Mass → Leaching / Chemical Treatment → Purification → Metal Recovery → Lithium / Nickel / Cobalt / Manganese Products
The exact process should be selected according to battery chemistry, feedstock composition, required products, plant capacity and local environmental regulations.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a lithium battery recycling plant?
A lithium battery recycling plant is an integrated facility used to process spent lithium-ion batteries and recover valuable materials through discharging, dismantling, shredding, crushing, screening and separation processes.
What types of lithium batteries can be recycled?
Depending on the equipment configuration, the plant can be designed for suitable NMC, LFP, EV batteries, battery cells, modules, packs and battery manufacturing scrap.
Can NMC and LFP batteries be recycled in the same plant?
The basic mechanical process may share similar equipment, but the optimal process and downstream recovery route can differ because NMC and LFP have different material compositions. Feedstock evaluation is recommended before finalizing the plant configuration.
Can lithium battery recycling equipment process EV batteries?
Yes. The plant can be designed for suitable EV battery cells, modules and packs. Large battery packs may require additional dismantling and discharge stages before shredding.
Can the plant be customized?
Yes. Capacity, equipment configuration, automation level, plant layout, battery chemistry and downstream recovery processes can be customized according to the project.
What is the difference between mechanical recycling and hydrometallurgical recycling?
Mechanical recycling primarily uses physical processes such as shredding, crushing, screening and separation to produce material fractions such as black mass. Hydrometallurgical processing uses chemical treatment to further recover valuable elements from materials such as black mass.
