🧯Battery.Sort provides preventive fire protection for the recycling industry! ♻️

Lithium-ion batteries and battery-powered devices pose a massive risk to the recycling industry, often resulting in damages worth millions due to fires or explosions. ⚠️🔥


In Germany alone, there are approximately 2,700 fires per year in recycling plants, with an average fire damage of €193,000 and significant downtime per plant. The total damage or loss of an entire plant due to a fire can reach up to €50 million per plant. On top of that, insurance premiums have increased 8-fold since 2004 due to the rising number of incidents. 🚒💥


That’s where Battery.Sort comes in.


Our cutting-edge solution leverages AI and X-ray technology to precisely identify and sort out lithium-ion batteries and battery-powered devices in waste streams, including plastic, commercial waste, WEEE, wood, and residual waste. 💡


Thanks to strong air pressure nozzles, Battery.Sort efficiently removes these dangerous objects, ensuring safer and more efficient recycling processes, preventing costly accidents, and enabling the recovery of valuable resources, such as rare earth elements, from electrical devices and batteries. 🌍
