Sustainable management of batteries and Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) is essential for minimizing environmental impact and conserving finite natural resources. As the use of batteries and electronic devices continues to grow, responsible recycling practices become increasingly important. Effective recycling not only diverts hazardous waste from landfills but also enables the recovery of valuable metals such as lithium, cobalt, nickel, and copper. These metals are vital for the production of new batteries and electronic components, supporting a circular economy and contributing to the long-term sustainability of the technology sector.

Our advanced analytical solution directly supports these sustainability objectives by providing rapid, precise oxygen and nitrogen measurements, crucial for evaluating and optimizing recycling processes. With exceptionally low gas consumption and the ability to utilize cost-effective argon, our analyzer helps facilities reduce operational expenses while maintaining high analytical performance. This results in more efficient battery recycling operations and better recovery of key materials, enhancing both environmental and economic outcomes.

Key benefits include:

• Supports sustainability: Facilitates the recovery and reuse of critical resources, reducing dependence on virgin raw materials and lowering the environmental footprint.
• Maximizes battery recycling efficiency: Delivers accurate, reliable analysis for a wide range of materials, including steel, non-ferrous metals, ceramics, slags, and ores.
• Low operational costs: Minimizes gas usage and supports the use of affordable argon, reducing ongoing expenses.
• Streamlined workflow: Enables simple and efficient handling of various sample types—pins, powders, and granules—improving throughput and productivity.
• High sensitivity and accuracy: The closed gas system and robust 8.5 kW impulse furnace ensure comprehensive, precise analysis.
• Reduced maintenance: An optional Autocleaner further decreases downtime and service requirements, supporting continuous operation.
• Lower total cost of ownership: Durable construction and efficient performance deliver long-lasting value.

By maximizing material recovery and enhancing process efficiency, our analyzer is a crucial tool for driving sustainability, resource conservation, and operational excellence in battery and WEEE recycling.
