Battery

Battery recycling is an essential part of the circular economy—recovering valuable materials like lithium, cobalt, and graphite while safely handling hazardous dust and residues. Hosokawa Micron offers robust and secure powder processing technologies designed to support the safe dismantling, conditioning, and refinement of spent batteries.

Our Horizontal Laminar Flow Booths provide a controlled airflow environment for manual dismantling and powder handling tasks. These booths reduce operator exposure to fine dust, minimise contamination, and help prevent the escape of potentially reactive particles.

Efficient material transfer is managed using our FIBC/IBC Filling & Discharge Systems, which are engineered for dust-tight movement of battery-derived materials. With integrated weighing systems and options for automated handling, these solutions improve safety, traceability, and throughput during collection and separation stages.
Battery recycling often involves fibrous casings, active materials, and binders that require pre-conditioning. Hosokawa’s Rubber Chopper is ideal for the initial breakdown of these components, reducing them to manageable sizes before further processing or separation. When paired with our filling and weighing systems, this setup allows for effective material sorting and preparation prior to downstream recovery or purification steps

The performance and efficiency of lithium-ion and other advanced batteries depend heavily on the precise formulation and processing of anode and cathode materials. Hosokawa Micron delivers tailored powder processing solutions that support the safe, clean, and consistent preparation of these critical components.

Our Horizontal Laminar Flow Booths create a clean, controlled environment for the handling of ultra-fine, often reactive powders such as lithium, graphite, nickel, and cobalt compounds. These booths help reduce operator exposure, prevent cross-contamination, and maintain the integrity of sensitive materials during manual weighing or transfer.

For high-volume operations, our FIBC/IBC Filling & Discharge Systems provide dust-tight, ATEX-compliant solutions for moving powders into mixers, reactors, or intermediate storage. With integrated weighing and dosing features, these systems support precise batch preparation, essential for cathode and anode consistency.

The Rubber Chopper is particularly effective for breaking down agglomerated or fibrous input materials prior to mixing or coating. Its rugged design ensures thorough size reduction without compromising the physical properties of the powders. Combined with our Filling & Weighing Systems, manufacturers gain full control over powder uniformity and transfer accuracy—two vital factors in producing high-performance electrode slurries.

Whether you’re developing batteries for electric vehicles, grid storage, or portable electronics, Hosokawa Micron’s equipment supports the precision, containment, and reliability required to advance battery technology and production.
