Disassembly Technologies for Automotive Batteries:
Automation and Concepts

Join the upcoming Battery Live Talk, this time focussing on disassembly technologies for automotive batteries. Together with our guests Johannes Feik, FFT Produktionssysteme GmbH & Co. KG, and Timo Hölter, TU Braunschweig IWF, we will be discussing automation options and concepts for dismantling batteries. The focus will be on challenges such as diverse designs, the balancing act between automation and profitability and the effects on further recycling steps.

The disassembly process is labour-intensive. Thus, automating this process makes it easier to expand recycling. The different pack architectures - cell to module, cell to pack and cell to chassis/car - force dismantling to be flexible or to focus on one architecture. However, only one type of pack architecture can then be dismantled. Ensuring high case separation of the battery pack/module allows for easier separation into the cell fractions with higher purity. This helps to fulfil the EU battery regulation.

What will be discussed?

• How can batteries be disassembled automatically when there are many different designs?
• How can the degree of automation and profitability be balanced?
• What is the impact on the following recycling steps?

Join us online to dive into this exciting discussion about battery recycling with us.
