Batteries, especially as accumulators, are an important supplier of electrical energy.

In the production of batteries, the individual metallic raw materials such as lithium, cobalt, graphite, nickel, manganese, etc., among others, must be dedusted, fractionated and / or protective screened for further production. When screening these raw materials, the GKM vibrating tumbler screening machine KTS-VS is the ideal solution. This machine can be manufactured according to customer requirements from various surface-contacting stainless steels and surface finishes. The machine is certified according to the latest standards, such as ATEX. Various features such as quick hook clamps facilitate and accelerate the handling and maintenance of the machine enormously. Furthermore, the machine can be equipped with various screen cleaning systems to ensure continuous production. According to customer requirements, the machine can be equipped with several screen decks for different fractions. The separation cut here is usually in the range between 0.032 and 1.0 mm. Here, the very efficient, emission-free and almost noiseless ultrasonic cleaning is used. In order to protect the user and the environment, these machines are absolutely dust-tight, as well as easy and quick to maintain due to facilitated access. Pneumatic as well as manual cover lifting systems can be permanently installed on the machine. In the recycling process, batteries are first crushed and, with the help of the GKM tumbler screening machine KTS, highly efficiently fractionated into the individual components, such as foils, outer casings and black mass (foil, Al, Cu, small amounts of Fe). In most cases, the required separation cuts are between 0.3 and 6.0 mm.
