As the European Union accelerates its transition toward a circular and resource-secure economy, the demand for safe, efficient, and fully compliant lithium battery recycling systems continues to rise. At Proses Makina, we deliver complete turnkey solutions engineered specifically for Europe—integrating inert-atmosphere shredding, CE-certified hydrometallurgical processing, and high-purity solvent extraction (SX) units, all supported by advanced APEX sensor and pump technology.

Our systems transform end-of-life lithium batteries into valuable critical materials such as lithium, cobalt, nickel, and manganese—helping Europe strengthen its strategic autonomy and meet strict regulatory targets under the new EU Battery Regulation.

Proses Makina’s Commitment to Europe’s Sustainability Targets

Europe has set some of the world’s most ambitious recycling and recovery standards. The EU Battery Regulation requires:

• Higher collection rates
• Improved material recovery efficiencies
• Safe and environmentally responsible processing
• Transparent, traceable material flows

Proses Makina aligns fully with this regulatory landscape. Our machinery is designed for European operators who demand maximum safety, high recovery yields, and long-term operational reliability.

Complete Turnkey Recycling Line – Fully Engineered by Proses Makina

Unlike suppliers who only offer partial systems, Proses Makina delivers a complete end-to-end recycling line, including:

• Nitrogen-inert shredding systems
• Mechanical separation units
• CE-certified leach tanks & hydrometallurgical reactors
• Industrial-scale solvent extraction (SX) plants
• Lithium precipitation & crystallization systems
• Gas scrubbing and solvent recovery units
• Advanced APEX instrumentation for monitoring and automation

This integrated approach ensures consistent performance, stable operation, and superior metal recovery for European recycling facilities.

Core Technologies in Proses Makina’s European-Compliant Recycling Systems

1. Nitrogen-Based Inert Shredding – The Highest Standard of Safety

The first stage of recycling carries the highest risk. Proses Makina’s shredding systems operate inside nitrogen-filled, oxygen-free enclosures, providing:

• Complete elimination of fire and explosion hazards
• Full control of thermal behavior during battery breaking
• Safe capture and treatment of electrolyte vapors
• Stabilized operating conditions for downstream processing

This technology meets and exceeds European safety expectations, including ATEX and CE requirements.

2. CE-Certified Leach Tanks and Hydrometallurgical Reactors

After shredding, the recovered black mass undergoes controlled chemical dissolution.
Proses Makina’s CE-certified leach tanks are engineered for:

• High-efficiency dissolution of lithium, cobalt, nickel, and manganese
• Optimized mixing, heat transfer, and reaction kinetics
• Corrosion resistance against acids, alkalis, and electrolytes
• Long-term durability and safe operation under EU standards

APEX sensors and pumps deliver real-time control over:

• Temperature
• pH
• Redox (ORP)
• Conductivity
• Reagent dosing and chemical flow

This precision significantly reduces chemical consumption while increasing metal recovery rates—ideal for European recyclers seeking both performance and cost efficiency.

3. Solvent Extraction (SX) Systems – High-Purity Critical Metal Separation

Proses Makina is one of the few global manufacturers capable of supplying complete industrial-scale SX plants for lithium battery recycling.

Our SX systems provide:

High-selectivity separation of Co, Ni, and Mn

Yielding:

• Battery-grade cobalt sulphate
• Battery-grade nickel sulphate
• High-purity manganese sulphate

APEX sensor and pump integration

Ensuring:

• Stable organic/aqueous phase control
• Accurate flow management
• Continuous monitoring of temperature and pH
• Automatically optimized extraction, scrubbing, and stripping cycles

CE-certified European construction

With:

• Leak-free settlers
• Chemical-resistant materials
• ATEX-compatible components
• Energy-efficient automation systems

The result is consistent, high-purity metal outputs suitable for the European battery industry.

4. Lithium Recovery – Turning Black Mass into High-Value Battery Materials

Following SX, Proses Makina enables the production of:

• Battery-grade Lithium Carbonate (Li₂CO₃)
• Battery-grade Lithium Hydroxide (LiOH)

Our crystallization systems feature:

• CE-certified tanks and agitators
• APEX-controlled temperature, saturation, and purity levels
• Closed-loop water and waste management
• Low impurity crystallization for battery-grade applications

This gives European operators the ability to close the loop and supply critical materials for new battery manufacturing.
