Vibratory feeders for kiln feeding in the battery recycling industry

Mission.

In the battery recycling process, the customer needs to process 20 tons of waste batteries per hour. These used batteries first go through a centrifuge and a crusher to complete the separation and crushing, and then various elements are extracted, such as lead waste, which needs to be fed into a kiln.

Solution.

To meet this need, AViTEQ has produced a vibratory feeder with a total length of 7.5 meters. The vibrations generated by the machine enable the lead waste to be cleanly transported to the kiln. And at the discharge end of the conveyor chute into the kiln, a special “discharge nozzle” made of heat-resistant stainless steel (bolted to the body of the machine) was installed, which extends directly into the interior of the kiln, together with a frequency-controlled machine to optimize the operation.

Advantage.

With variable frequency control for batch dosing to the furnace, we have easily overcome the challenges of the 7.5 meter conveyor length. The discharge nozzles are specially designed to withstand the high temperatures in the furnace and when the nozzles need to be replaced, there is no need to reconfigure the conveyor chute at the same time.
