If you work in automotive, electronics or energy storage, you may have noticed this. As people become more aware of environmental protection and the scarcity of raw materials used in battery production, there is a strong demand for recycled battery materials. This means there is an urgent need for efficient battery recycling solutions. The following business plan is for 300 kg/h lithium-ion battery recycling. Maybe it will give you some new ideas for business.

Why is lithium ion battery recycling a promising project?

Lithium ion Battery Raw Material Advantage

Firstly, as mentioned above, the increasing volume of discarded lithium-ion batteries offers abundant supply of raw materials. Our recycling technology enables the extraction of valuable metals such as cobalt, nickel, and lithium, which command high prices in the market. With SUNRISE recycling production line, we can reduce per-unit processing costs.

Revenue Generation Pathways

Moreover, the recovered materials can be sold to battery manufacturers, electronics companies to generate substantial revenue streams.

Profitability in the Long Term

Furthermore, as environmental regulations tighten, the demand for e-waste recycling solutions rises, allowing for premium pricing. The relatively lower initial investment compared to new battery production, combined with the continuous growth of the market, ensures return on investment and profit margins in the long run, making lithium-ion battery recycling business a highly profitable investment.

Essential Equipment

Battery Discharge and Dismantling

Battery Discharge Units: Our discharge units safely and efficiently discharge the residual energy in lithium-ion batteries, minimizing the risk of thermal runaway or fire. This step is crucial for safe handling and processing.

Automated Dismantling Machines: These machines can disassemble battery packs into individual cells and components. Automation ensures precision and reduces labor costs, increasing overall efficiency.

Crushing and Separation

Crushing Equipment: Our crushers can break down battery cells into smaller pieces, facilitating the subsequent separation of materials. The robust design ensures durability and consistent performance.

Separation Systems: Utilizing advanced techniques such as magnetic and eddy current separation, our systems effectively segregate metals like cobalt, nickel, and lithium from other materials. This ensures high recovery rates and purity.

Chemical and Thermal Processing

Hydrometallurgical Systems: These systems use chemical solutions to extract valuable metals from crushed battery materials. Our hydrometallurgical equipment will maximum metal recovery, ensuring minimal waste.

Pyrometallurgical Furnaces: High-temperature furnaces will refine and purify recovered metals. Our furnaces are energy-efficient and equipped with emission control systems to meet environmental standards.

Technological Process

The entire production line of lithium battery recovery equipment is fed by conveyor materials into the crusher of the first process for coarse crushing. The coarse crushed materials are fed by conveyor to the secondary crusher for secondary crushing. The crushed materials from the secondary crusher enter the conveyor and magnetic separation equipment to separate the iron in the materials. After the conveyor and magnetic separator removing the iron, it enters the three crusher for fine crushing, crushing the material to powder. Materials in powder state enter the cyclone separator through the negative pressure system for air filtration, and then fall onto the air flow separator through the fan. The air flow separator separates materials of different densities to obtain metal separation, while the negative pressure system brings all non-metals into the pulse dust collector for concentration. The negative pressure system continues to send the filtered tail gas to the tail gas treatment equipment for air purification, ensuring that it meets national emission standards before discharging it at high altitude.

Shredder: Shredded lithium batteries into smaller pieces.
Hammer crusher: For the secondary crushing of shredded materials.
Grinder: For the grinding of the crushed materials.
Separation machine: Separate the ground materials.
Collector: Collect and release the dust.
Pulse purifier (air cleaner): Clean all the dust produced during the operation of the whole system.
Classifying screen:Screen the materials sorted by the separation machine,and screen out of larger metal materials.
Magnetic machine: Separate nickel from the metals.
Gravity separator:Separate those finer materials got from the screening machine and separate the metal completely.
High-pressure blower: Keep the whole system in a negative state so as to collect the materials and purity the air.

Financial considerations for 300 kg/h lithium ion battery recycling

When planning your lithium-ion battery recycling business, it is essential to consider the financial aspects, including the initial investment, operational costs, and potential revenue. At SUNRISE, we offer customized solutions to fit various production capacities.

Initial Investment

Setting up a 300 kg/h production line requires a moderate investment. The cost includes purchasing the necessary equipment, facility setup, and initial working capital. On average, the initial investment may range from $1 million to $2 million, depending on specific requirements and local conditions.

Operational Costs

Operational costs encompass labor, utilities, maintenance, and raw material procurement. For a 300 kg/h line, monthly operational expenses may range from $50,000 to $100,000. These costs can vary based on factors such as energy prices and labor rates.

Revenue Potential

The revenue potential depends on the market demand for recycled materials and the efficiency of your recycling process. On average, a 300 kg/h line can generate monthly revenues between $200,000 and $400,000, considering current market prices for recovered metals.
