No Canary GmbH develops modular, plug-and-play recycling lines for lithium-ion batteries using a Battery-to-Black Mass vacuum process. Their systems recover over 95% of materials and deliver >99% purity black mass for EVs, ESS and production scrap.
No Canary GmbH, headquartered in Salzgitter, Germany, specializes in modular plug-and-play recycling lines for lithium-ion batteries. The company designs, manufactures and delivers Battery-to-Black Mass systems that convert end-of-life EV and industrial cells and production scrap into high-purity black mass. No Canary offers consulting, site planning and turnkey commissioning to accelerate local recycling capacity and material circularity. The company serves battery manufacturers, EV fleet operators and stationary storage providers, with a mission to maximize recovery efficiency, reduce energy use and lower CO2 emissions associated with battery raw materials.
No Canary’s core technology is the Battery-to-Black Mass process, a vacuum-enhanced mechanical workflow that converts lithium-ion cells and production scrap into a high-purity black mass concentrate. Key elements include vacuum crushing/shredding, intensive drying with VOC recovery, air-jet fine sieving and zigzag sifting for foil separation. The vacuum environment shortens drying times and provides explosion-proof, gas- and dust-tight processing. The non-thermal approach avoids energy-intensive smelting and supports >95% total material recovery and black mass purity above 99% with moisture under 0.5%.
No Canary supplies modular plug-and-play recycling lines—vacuum crushers, vacuum dryers, pneumatic conveyors and separator modules—pre-commissioned for rapid installation. Systems recover lithium, cobalt, nickel, manganese, graphite, copper and aluminum from EV packs, stationary energy storage systems and battery production scrap. Complementary services include consulting, site planning and turnkey plant delivery. Benefits include high recovery rates, reduced energy use, lower CO2 intensity and closed, explosion-proof processing.
