Dual-shaft shredders for lithium battery recycling: the core crushing equipment of recycling lines
With the rapid development of the new energy industry, the number of waste lithium batteries has surged. Improper handling not only wastes precious metal resources such as cobalt and lithium, but may also pollute soil and water sources due to electrolyte leakage. The efficient operation of lithium battery recycling lines relies heavily on dual-shaft shredders, which work in conjunction with e-waste shredders to become a crucial link in the resource recovery of lithium batteries.

Lithium batteries have a complex structure, a hard outer shell, and contain flammable electrolyte, placing extremely high demands on the safety and stability of the crushing equipment. The dual-shaft shredder, with its unique design, is perfectly suited to the needs of lithium battery recycling: it employs a low-speed, high-torque structure with dual-shaft counter-rotation, coupled with wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant special blades. This allows it to steadily shred lithium batteries within a closed chamber, avoiding the risk of fire or explosion caused by frictional heat during the shredding process. Simultaneously, the equipment can adjust the shredding gap according to the lithium battery specifications, precisely shredding waste lithium batteries into uniform particles of 5-10mm. This facilitates subsequent sorting processes for extracting cathode materials and metal casings, while also reducing electrolyte evaporation and simplifying environmental treatment.

In lithium battery recycling lines, the dual-shaft shredder is often used in conjunction with an e-waste shredder. The e-waste shredder first performs preliminary sorting and shredding of electronic waste mixed with lithium batteries, followed by the dual-shaft shredder for fine shredding of the lithium batteries, forming a complete "coarse shredding - fine shredding" process that significantly improves the overall efficiency of the recycling line. Statistics show that lithium battery recycling lines equipped with dual-shaft shredders achieve a 20%-30% higher resource recovery rate and reduce energy consumption by over 15% compared to traditional equipment.

For lithium battery recycling companies, choosing a professional dual-shaft shredder not only ensures production safety but also improves resource recovery efficiency, helping companies gain a competitive edge in the green and environmentally friendly industry and promoting the standardized and efficient development of the lithium battery recycling sector.
