Battery recycling for electric vehicles goes through a multi-stage process. First, old batteries are shredded, which allows the first valuable materials such as aluminum and copper to be extracted. The remaining battery parts are then chemically dissolved to separate other valuable materials such as cobalt, nickel and lithium. Due to the demanding process of recovering recyclable materials, the equipment and valves used are subjected to the highest standards. The conditions are challenging and require quality valve technology. Our portfolio includes two knife gate valves, the SD6 (AT600) and the SD75 (AT750), which have already proven themselves to be ideal for battery recycling.
