Aluminum Shredders
As one of the most recycled materials for both consumers and industries due to its quality retention following the recycling process, aluminum is a highly necessary and useful material in this industry. Scrap aluminum is found in a vast range of sources, including household items, vehicles, building materials, computers, sheets, cans, and much more, making it a highly abundant material with a welcoming opportunity for processing and recycling businesses. Thanks to its soft composition, aluminum is easily shredded into small scraps, where it can be further processed via a de-lacquering process to remove paint before being furnace-melted and formed into ingots for reuse in manufacturing facilities. Shred-Tech® industrial shredder machines make recycling aluminum a breeze with our heavy-duty motors, super-sharp cutting knives, high tip cutting force, and optimum efficiency and speed. With our wide range of quality shredders, you’re sure to find a machine that fits your business requirements.
Battery Recycling Shredders
Shred-Tech® offers complete battery shredding capabilities for the recycling process to help reduce waste volume, retrieve valuable materials, and help preserve the health of the environment. From lithium-ion and electric vehicle batteries to alkaline batteries, lead batteries, and nickel cadmium batteries, Shred-Tech® battery shredders can get the job done easily to help you drive your business forward with success. Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are currently driving the electric vehicle industry forward while also becoming the most distinguished electrochemical energy devices in North America. They have quickly become the main battery of choice for powering a vast array of devices, including electronics, mobile devices, pacemakers, hearing aids, and more thanks to their longer life, higher voltage output, and improved resistance to self-discharge and elevated temperatures when compared to Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) and Lead Acid (Pb-acid) batteries. Due to their popularity, more LIBs are ending up in landfills where they can harm the environment, while recyclable and usable materials are lost. The same is true for electric vehicle (EV) batteries, where more EV batteries are produced than recycled in today’s market, meaning that most end up in landfills instead of undergoing proper processing. If the EV batteries are recycled, they are only done partially so, where only the most valuable materials are retrieved while the remainder of the battery is disposed of to harm the environment, either in landfills or the ocean. Shred-Tech® answers the call with our own mechanical shredding processes in the form of the Aqueous Shredder, which is designed to liberate, classify, and concentrate all LIB and EV battery materials without altering their chemistry, allowing for complete shredding and recycling. Our shredding process further permits refinement of the materials via hydrometallurgy, pyrometallurgy, or a mix of both. We offer other industrial battery shredding solutions for a complete range of solutions you can rely on. Shred-Tech® has the tools to help you carve a niche in the market and build a strong business that will grow and endure in the coming years.
