The lithium battery recycling industry continues to heat up, and more and more investors and entrepreneurs hope to enter the market. But facing the uneven quality of equipment manufacturers on the market, how to avoid pitfalls and choose reliable partners has become the first hurdle that determines the success or failure of the project. Here are some experiences from years of practice for your reference.
1、 Observe the actual operation effect of the device, rather than sample display
Some equipment manufacturers showcase carefully prepared standard samples during sales, with very beautiful recovery and purity data. However, after the equipment is actually put into production at the customer’s factory, there are often problems such as insufficient processing capacity, substandard sorting purity, and high equipment failure rate. It is recommended to visit the actual operation site of the equipment or entrust a third party to conduct on-site testing before signing the contract, and the actual data shall prevail.
2、 Understand whether the manufacturer has customization capabilities
Different types of lithium batteries (such as lithium iron phosphate, ternary lithium, lithium manganese oxide, lithium cobalt oxide, etc.) have significant differences in chemical composition and physical properties, and have different requirements for recycling processes and equipment configurations. Reliable equipment manufacturers should provide customized solutions based on the characteristics of customer raw materials, rather than simply applying standard models. Renewable can conduct free testing based on the raw material samples provided by customers, and provide targeted process solutions and equipment configuration suggestions.
3、 Check whether the after-sales service system is complete
Equipment is not a disposable commodity, and technical support, spare parts supply, and training services after production are indispensable. Suggestion to inquire about the manufacturer: Do you have a professional technical team that provides remote and on-site services? Is the spare parts inventory sufficient? How to promise response time? Renewable provides lifelong technical support, spare parts are supplied at cost price, and a response time commitment is made to provide a solution within 48 hours.
4、 Verify manufacturer qualifications and export cases
Lithium battery recycling equipment belongs to environmental protection equipment, and relevant manufacturers should have corresponding production qualifications and quality certifications. Meanwhile, real overseas export cases are an important benchmark for testing the comprehensive strength of manufacturers. Suggest requesting the manufacturer to provide supporting materials such as export contracts, packing lists, and customer evaluations from the exporting country.
5、 Be wary of low price traps
Low equipment prices often mean: substituting inferior products for high-quality ones (such as using ordinary steel instead of wear-resistant alloys), shrinking configurations (such as reducing sorting levels, downgrading dust removal equipment), and discounted services (such as reducing training time, compressing installation and debugging). The investment in lithium battery recycling projects is relatively large, and choosing a reliable and well serviced equipment is much more important than saving a small amount of procurement costs.
Choosing the right equipment manufacturer is half the success of a lithium battery recycling project. Henan Renewable Energy Technology Co., Ltd. has been focusing on the research and development and manufacturing of solid waste recycling equipment for more than 20 years. Its core products such as lithium battery recycling equipment, pyrolysis carbonization equipment, and circuit board recycling equipment are exported to more than 70 countries worldwide. Welcome to inquire by phone or conduct on-site inspections.
