Abstract
Crushing is a substantial process step for the following separation, as it transfers the battery cells or modules to a storable and conveyable bulk material. Crushing also leads to the opening of the battery cells and release of valuable materials. Because of the deliberate destruction of the battery cells, this process has a high hazard potential due to the remaining attached energy of the battery cells and the flammable electrolyte components. The project partners evaluated requirements for the design of a crusher and drafted a concept for the realization of a safe and efficient crushing process.
