Giving decommissioned lithium batteries a new outlet

With the rapid development of new energy vehicles and the rapid iteration of electronic products, a huge challenge and opportunity coexist in front of us: a large number of retired lithium batteries. They seem to have come to the end of their life, labeled as “scrap”. But is this really the case? In Maxim's view, they are by no means the end of the road, but the beginning of a new value chain in the circular economy - “retired but not waste” in the true sense of the word.

Technology is the key to making the “return without waste” a reality!
Used lithium batteries have complex composition, different forms and safety risks (such as short circuit, thermal runaway). To safely, efficiently and environmentally friendly to realize resource regeneration, can not be separated from the advanced recycling technology and equipment. This is Maxim's area of expertise.

We specialize in developing and manufacturing highly efficient, intelligent and green lithium battery recycling and processing equipment and total solutions to address the following issues:
Safe Pre-processing: Through precise discharging and intelligent dismantling and crushing equipments, we can safely remove the risks of batteries in a closed and inert environment, and lay a safe foundation for the subsequent processes.
Efficient Physical Separation: Adopting multi-stage crushing and fine separation (such as airflow separation, magnetic separation, eddy current separation, screening, etc.) technologies to separate plastic diaphragms, shells, copper foils, aluminum foils, black powder, etc. with high purity.
Supporting green metallurgy: The pretreatment equipment we provide produces high-quality black powder with relatively single composition, which is an ideal raw material for subsequent metallurgical extraction of high-purity metals, significantly improving the recovery rate and purity of metals in the back-end.
Intelligent and Environmentally Friendly: The equipment integrates automated control systems, dust collection, and exhaust gas treatment modules to ensure efficient, clean, and environmentally friendly production.

Maxim is committed to be your most reliable partner, providing stable, efficient and advanced lithium battery recycling and processing equipment, empowering recycling enterprises to improve processing capacity, reduce costs, ensure safety and environmental compliance, and jointly explore the unlimited potential of this “urban mine”.
