Battery Technology
Revomet’s technology portfolio centers on lithium-ion battery recycling systems designed for maximum material recovery. Their processing methods extract valuable components including nickel, cobalt, and lithium from end-of-life batteries, preparing these materials for reuse in new battery production. The company’s technical infrastructure includes specialized shredding facilities for processing complete battery packs, separating them into individual components for efficient recycling.
The recycling process implements advanced sorting and separation technologies, ensuring high-quality material recovery while maintaining environmental standards. Starting from late 2024, their Bitterfeld facility will feature dedicated equipment for processing entire battery packs, representing a significant advancement in their technical capabilities. This system will enhance the company’s ability to maintain valuable metallic raw materials within the production cycle.
Revomet’s technology stack also includes solutions for metal trading and logistics, creating an integrated approach to battery material management. Their systems are designed to process various battery types and sizes, from small portable units to large electric vehicle batteries, demonstrating the versatility of their recycling technology.
Recent Projects
In partnership with CNGR Advanced Material Co., Ltd., Revomet is developing one of Western Europe’s largest battery recycling facilities in Bitterfeld, Germany. The facility, scheduled to begin operations in the first half of 2024, will process 28,000 metric tons of batteries annually. This project marks a significant expansion in European battery recycling capacity and demonstrates Revomet’s commitment to sustainable e-mobility solutions.
The company is also implementing new shredding capabilities at the Bitterfeld site, expected to be operational by the end of 2024. This addition will enable complete battery pack processing and component separation, enhancing their recycling capabilities.
