BCA Industries Triplus knife system.
Wisconsin-based BCA Industries, a maker of industrial shredding and recycling equipment, says its patented Triplus knife system technology is a viable option for lithium-ion battery shredding and recycling. Features of the shredding system include:
- a bed knife design in a dual-shaft shredder to cut the width of the material to any size in a single pass without requiring a screen
- can produce more than 85 percent correctly sized material in one pass with less than 10 percent oversized material
- can accommodate a 50-horsepower (hp) single-pass shredder to produce the same amount of recyclable product per hour as a standard 100- to 150-hp conventional system
- reduces recycler energy costs by $1,500 to $5,000 per month while producing a more consistently sized product
