A small-to-medium scale lithium-ion battery recycling plant can be set up starting from $50,000–$80,000, depending on capacity and configuration. The process is simple: battery discharging → double-shaft shredding → hammer mill crushing → dryer→ rotary screener→ magnetic separator→vibrating screening → gravity separation → dust collection. This setup reduces expenses on site area, labor, and electricity, making it an ideal choice for investors who want high output without heavy capital risks. The mechanical battery recycling equipment is easy to maintain, ensuring stable long-term operation.
