The disassembly process is labour-intensive. Thus, automating this process makes it easier to expand recycling. The different pack architectures – cell to module, cell to pack and cell to chassis/car – force dismantling to be flexible or to focus on one architecture. However, only one type of pack architecture can then be dismantled. Ensuring high case separation of the battery pack/module allows for easier separation into the cell fractions with higher purity. This helps to fulfil the EU battery regulation.
What will be discussed?
• How can batteries be disassembled automatically when there are many different designs?
• How can the degree of automation and profitability be balanced?
• What is the impact on the following recycling steps?
