Battery Shredders & Battery Size Reduction Systems

Franklin Miller's battery shredders are instrumental in the end-to-end recycling process of Lithium-ion (Li-Ion) batteries. These innovative machines don't merely break down used or discarded batteries; they pave the way for the recovery of vital materials like lithium, cobalt, and nickel, which can be reintroduced into the manufacturing cycle for new batteries. By transforming waste into valuable resources, our shredders not only contribute to business efficiency but also foster a circular economy that mitigates the environmental impact of battery waste.

Lithium Ion Battery Shredders | Pilot Plant Li-Ion Battery Shredder

The Pilot Plant Shredder is ideal for small-scale operations or for R&D. This system employs a specially designed chamber where batteries are shredded under a vacuum and N2 blanketing while completely submerged or with an intermittent water shower.

The Pilot shredder is equipped with a “mailbox-style infeed door” for secure operation. The collection tank has a basket screen inside for the separation of the solids. Liquid electrolytes and/or water can be discharged via the bottom discharge valve. The solids (shredded battery components) will be collected in the basket and recovered after releasing the tri-clover clamp.
