BATTERY DISCHARGE: EFFICIENT RECYCLING
At Reckelberg Environmental Technologies, we are revolutionizing battery recycling with our advanced discharge technology. This modern solution is the important first step in making batteries recyclable and sets standards in efficiency, safety and sustainability.
TARGETED RESIDUAL DISCHARGE OF BATTERIES
Fewer hazards, better energy balance
Reduce risk factors and make energy and raw materials usable again.
At RET, we know that only a battery that is completely discharged before recycling can guarantee operational and process safety as well as optimum product quality. That is why all our discharge technologies are based on the latest and safest high-voltage discharge technology for Li-ion battery storage systems and modules. The discharge capacity of the system is freely definable and can return power from the batteries to the local grid with high efficiency. On the one hand, this means a direct reduction in consumption, e.g. for your production and processes, and on the other hand, the completely discharged batteries reduce the potential risk for your employees and the subsequent recycling process.
Highlights
For batteries from electric vehicles and stationary applications
Safety through deep discharge to 0 volts
Efficient energy recovery thanks to bidirectional design
Freely selectable discharge depth of up to 1,000V - for all voltage classes
Flexible Discharging
All RET discharge versions are based on the latest and safest high-voltage discharge technology for Li-ion battery storage systems and modules. The discharge power of the system is freely definable via the number of channels installed and their power at different voltage levels. In installations with many channels, each individual channel can be operated completely independently of all others. Thanks to the fundamentally bidirectional design, our discharge variants can convert power with high efficiency from the batteries to the local grid and vice versa.
The intelligent sensor technology ensures precise monitoring and control of the discharging process, which optimizes safety and efficiency. The modular adaptability allows flexible application to different battery sizes and types, thus ensuring a wide range of applications.
BEST OPERABILITY
We equip all unloading units with digital controls to make your work easier. The touchscreen-based control system enables all discharge parameters to be clearly adjusted and controlled. The operator can create parametric recipes for discharging and diagnosing different battery systems and save the recorded log data. The discharging systems are designed for seamless integration into the incoming inspection and dismantling of battery systems.
In addition, our automated diagnostic tools provide instant battery condition assessment, increasing the efficiency of downstream processing. Comprehensive safety protocols ensure the highest level of safety throughout the discharging process through advanced monitoring and emergency management systems.
Versions
Compact, powerful and flexible. With our smallest version, we install the complete unloading technology in a 19″ mobile rack. This smallest version of our discharging technology combines high performance with impressive flexibility and enables effortless use at different locations thanks to its practical, rollable design - without requiring a lot of personnel.
You do not need a separate electrical operating room for operation, just a 32A socket (plug-and-play). This makes it extremely easy to use - just like the control via the integrated tablet. Find out more about our most compact entry into the battery discharging process.
From compact 19 inches to impressive 20 feet - we designed our container unloading system specifically for larger requirements. Each 20-foot container is fully equipped with our advanced discharge technology, pre-wired and ready for immediate use. The systems are optimally designed for connection to various battery types and low-voltage infrastructure and offer a plug-and-play solution for a variety of application scenarios. The containers can be set up inside and outside buildings, have independent air conditioning and are protected against the ingress of dust and water.
The unloading process is controlled via high-quality, industrial-grade touch PCs, which enable intuitive and efficient remote control. This feature does not only increase user-friendliness, but does also optimize safety, as the operating personnel do not need to be physically present in the container for monitoring and control. Discover how our container-based unloading system can revolutionize your operations.
We integrate our advanced unloading technology seamlessly into your on-site electrical plant room to ensure optimum performance and safety. We also equip your existing production hall with user-friendly touch control panels and specialized connection points that are installed at fixed workstations. Thanks to our practical experience, we are aware of the importance of individualized solutions that promote productivity and support seamless integration into your work processes.
Benefit from a customized solution that fits perfectly into your existing infrastructure while providing state-of-the-art technology for the battery discharge process. Find out how our discharging technology optimizes your production processes and simplifies handling.
SPECIAL RECYCLER SCALES CAPACITIES
Battery discharging in practice
A German specialist recycler has been using various mobile discharging machines from Reckelberg Environmental Technologies for some time to safely discharge end-of-life battery systems. In the course of the market ramp-up of BEVs, a recycling plant for lithium-ion batteries with a capacity of over 20,000 tons per year will be put into operation at the site. In order to discharge a sufficient quantity of batteries for this, the customer has decided to install an additional stationary RET discharge system with a much larger capacity.
Facts about the case
Adapted voltage levels for modules, 400V and 800V battery systems
Initial discharge power has been increased from 20kW by 180kW - expandable to 550kW per system
Complete turn-key delivery in 20 ft container for installation independent of the building
A central control interface provides the operator with a simple overview of all currently connected battery systems
Other Technologies
Revolution in battery recycling
From discharging and drying to separation in the impact reactor. All current lithium-ion batteries can be recycled safely and effectively in an efficient, clean process using state-of-the-art technologies.
