01 / Production line overview
Line overview
End-of-life EV packs, modules and cells
An integrated industrial line configured around end-of-life ev packs, modules and cells, target output quality and required throughput.
Processing flow: Pack assessment → discharge → dismantling → module/cell routing → mechanical recycling or qualified second-life testing.
The final route is defined after feedstock review and, where appropriate, material testing.

03 / Complete Production Line & Process Overview
Complete production line & process overview
The complete lithium-ion battery recycling line integrates feeding, size reduction, screening, separation, powder collection and environmental control into one continuous process for efficient recovery of valuable material fractions.
Process flow
The line combines multiple processing stages into one coordinated system, with the final configuration determined by feedstock, capacity and target recovered materials.
Battery Feeding
Battery material is introduced into the line through a controlled conveyor feeding system for stable downstream processing.
Shredding
Primary shredding opens the battery structure and reduces the feed into manageable pieces for further processing.
Crushing
Secondary crushing further reduces particle size and improves liberation of electrode, metal and polymer fractions.
Screening
Screening classifies material by particle size and separates fine active-material-rich fractions from larger particles.
Air Separation
Air classification separates lighter and heavier fractions according to differences in aerodynamic behavior.
Electrostatic Separation
Electrostatic separation further refines conductive and non-conductive fractions for improved material recovery.
Gravity Separation
Density differences are used to further separate and concentrate mixed solid fractions.
Fine Powder Collection
Fine electrode material and black-mass-rich powder are captured and collected in a controlled collection system.
Exhaust Gas Treatment
Dust and process exhaust are collected and routed through the configured environmental-control system before discharge.
Material Output
Recovered fractions are discharged separately for storage, downstream refining or further material processing.
Equipment configuration can be adjusted according to feedstock type, target throughput, required output fractions and downstream processing requirements.
04 / Main Equipment Configuration
Main equipment configuration
Core equipment is selected and combined according to feedstock characteristics, target throughput, required output fractions and the final process route.
Final equipment configuration is determined by feedstock condition, required capacity, target outputs and site-specific process requirements.
05 / Technical Parameters
Technical Parameters
Key operating parameters are configured according to feedstock condition, required throughput, target recovered fractions and site-specific project requirements.
Technical parameters will appear here once added.
06 / Output Quality
Recovered Material Quality
Recovered material quality depends on battery chemistry, feedstock condition, preprocessing route and production-line configuration. Representative material testing is recommended when defining final recovery targets.
Output quality cards will appear here once added.
07 / Safety Engineering
Integrated Safety for Lithium Battery Processing
Safety measures and protection functions are configured according to the actual process design, feedstock characteristics and project requirements.
Controlled Feeding
Stable feed management reduces sudden load changes and helps maintain safer, more consistent line operation.
Temperature Monitoring
Critical operating points can be monitored for abnormal temperature conditions during processing.
Inert Gas Protection
Optional nitrogen-based protection can be integrated into configurations requiring controlled oxygen levels.
Negative Pressure
Controlled extraction helps reduce the escape of dust and process gases from enclosed processing zones.
Fire / Explosion Protection
Project-specific detection, suppression, isolation or pressure-relief measures can be configured according to process risk.
PLC Interlocks
Automatic interlocks and shutdown logic support safer operation when abnormal conditions are detected.
08 / Environmental Control
Dust & Exhaust Treatment Integrated Into the Line
Environmental control should be presented as part of the process system, not as an unrelated add-on.
Dust Collection
Process dust can be captured through cyclone and pulse-jet filtration modules.
Scrubbing
Wet scrubbing can be configured where gas conditioning is required.
Adsorption / Purification
Activated-carbon or other purification modules can be added according to exhaust characteristics.

10 / FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Key questions to consider when planning a lithium-ion battery recycling line, from feedstock and safety to output quality, plant layout and project support.
What types of lithium batteries can this line process?
The line is configured for end-of-life EV battery packs, modules and cells. Depending on the condition of the incoming material, packs can be assessed, discharged and dismantled before modules or cells are routed to mechanical recycling or, where appropriate, qualified second-life testing. The final process route is determined after feedstock review and, when required, material testing.
Do batteries need to be discharged before crushing?
For end-of-life EV packs entering the complete process route, discharge is included before dismantling and downstream mechanical recycling. The exact feedstock acceptance procedure and discharge method are defined according to battery condition and the approved project safety concept.
Do you provide installation and commissioning?
Yes. BREM provides engineering, manufacturing and commissioning support for complete recycling-line projects. The specific scope of site installation guidance, commissioning, operator training and after-sales service is defined in the commercial project proposal.
