Top 10 Lead-acid battery cutter Suppliers, Manufacturers, Wholesalers and Traders in Iraq

When it comes to understanding Iraq's recycling needs, few companies have deeper roots than Iraqi Recycling Solutions (IRS). Founded in 2010 in Baghdad, IRS started as a small trading firm importing basic recycling tools and has grown into a leading supplier of end-to-end lead-acid battery recycling equipment. What sets them apart? They speak the local language—literally and figuratively.

IRS's flagship product is their lead battery cutter equipment , designed specifically for Iraq's dusty conditions and variable power supply. Unlike generic imported machines, their cutters have reinforced blades and dust-resistant motors, reducing breakdowns in the field. They also offer ULAB breaking and separating equipment that works seamlessly with their cutters, creating a streamlined process from battery input to material separation.

But what really makes IRS a top choice is their after-sales support. They have a team of technicians based in Baghdad, Basra, and Erbil who can respond to service calls within 48 hours—critical in a country where downtime costs money. "We don't just sell machines," says CEO Ahmed al-Saadi. "We build partnerships. If your cutter stops working, we're there to fix it, no excuses."

For recyclers who want global technology with a local touch, GreenTech Industrial Trading is the go-to. Based in Erbil, GreenTech partners with European manufacturers to bring cutting-edge lead acid battery recycling equipment to Iraq, including their popular used lead battery cutter HBC-045 .

The HBC-045 is a favorite for its precision. Unlike older models that crush batteries (risking acid spills), this cutter uses a hydraulic system to make clean, controlled cuts—minimizing acid exposure and maximizing lead recovery. "Our customers tell us the HBC-045 pays for itself in a year," says sales manager Layla Mustafa. "Less waste, less downtime, more profit."

GreenTech also understands that Iraqi recyclers need more than just cutters. They offer acid treatment units and even small-scale air pollution control system equipment to help plants meet Iraq's evolving environmental regulations. And because they import in bulk, they can offer competitive pricing without sacrificing quality.

Basra Environmental Systems (BES) doesn't just sell equipment—they build recycling ecosystems. Founded by a team of environmental engineers, BES specializes in turnkey solutions for lead-acid battery recycling, with ULAB breaking and separating equipment at the core.

Their approach is simple: recycling should be as eco-friendly as it is profitable. That's why their systems integrate air pollution control system equipment from day one. "Too many recyclers focus only on the lead and plastic," explains engineer Hassan Jaber. "But the air quality in your plant matters for your workers and the community. Our systems capture fumes and dust, making recycling safe for everyone."

BES's breaking and separating equipment is also known for its efficiency. Their machines can process up to 500 batteries per hour, sorting lead grids, plastic, and acid with minimal manual labor. For larger plants, they even offer custom-designed lines that include conveyors and automated sorting—perfect for scaling operations.

When it comes to heavy-duty performance, Baghdad Machinery Co. (BMC) delivers. A local manufacturer with over 15 years of experience, BMC builds lead battery cutter equipment tough enough for Iraq's busiest recycling yards. Their hydraulic cutters, in particular, are legendary for their durability.

"We test our machines in the worst conditions—high temperatures, dusty environments, even occasional power surges," says factory manager Ali Kareem. "If a BMC cutter can't handle it, no machine can." Their most popular model, the BMC-2000, features a double-blade system that can cut through even the thickest battery casings, reducing jams and increasing throughput.

BMC also caters to recyclers who need more than just cutting. They offer compact granulators for processing plastic casings and hydraulic balers for compressing lead scrap—making them a one-stop shop for small to medium-scale operations.

In Kurdistan, where recycling is growing fast, Erbil Recycling Technologies (ERT) has become a trusted name. Founded in 2015, ERT started by importing used equipment but quickly shifted to distributing new, high-quality lead acid battery recycling equipment —including their own line of lead battery cutters.

What makes ERT stand out is their focus on customer education. "Many of our clients are new to recycling," says owner Zana Omar. "We don't just sell them a cutter; we teach them how to use it safely, maintain it, and get the most out of it." They offer free training sessions for every purchase and even publish a monthly guide with tips on improving recycling efficiency.

ERT's cutters are also designed for simplicity. With user-friendly controls and easy-to-ｒｅｐｌａｃｅ blades, they're ideal for teams with limited technical experience. And because they're based in Erbil, delivery to cities like Sulaymaniyah and Duhok is fast—often within 24 hours of ordering.

Sulaymaniyah Eco-Equipment (SEE) is all about accessibility. They specialize in small to medium-scale lead battery cutter equipment that's affordable, easy to install, and perfect for recyclers just starting out.

Their bestseller? The SEE Mini-Cutter, a compact machine that can process up to 50 batteries per hour. It's lightweight enough to fit in a small workshop and runs on standard 220V power—no need for special wiring. "We designed it for the guy who has a pickup truck full of old batteries and a dream," says sales rep Dana Abdul. "You don't need a big plant to recycle responsibly."

SEE also offers plastic pneumatic conveying system equipment to help recyclers move plastic casings from the cutter to a granulator—reducing manual labor and keeping workspaces clean. And with prices starting at under 5,000 USD, they make it possible for small businesses to enter the recycling market.

For wholesalers and large plants, Al-Mansoori Industrial Group is the ultimate partner. Based in Baghdad, Al-Mansoori is one of Iraq's largest traders of lead acid battery recycling equipment , with a focus on bulk orders and competitive pricing.

Their inventory includes everything from basic hand-operated cutters to industrial-grade used lead battery cutter HBC-045 units, and they pride themselves on having stock available for immediate delivery. "When a customer needs 10 cutters for a new plant, we don't make them wait," says logistics director Omar Al-Mansoori. "We have warehouses in Basra, Mosul, and Erbil—so equipment gets where it needs to go, fast."

Al-Mansoori also offers flexible payment plans, which is a big plus for growing businesses. "Recycling is an investment," Al-Mansoori adds. "We want to help our customers grow, not just sell them equipment."

Najaf Green Machines (NGM) is on a mission to make recycling energy-efficient. Their ULAB breaking and separating equipment uses up to 30% less power than traditional models, which is a game-changer for recyclers in areas with high electricity costs or frequent outages.

"Our secret is in the motor design," explains engineer Fatima Al-Zaidi. "We use high-efficiency motors that deliver the same power with less energy. Over time, that adds up to big savings." NGM's cutters also require minimal maintenance—their blades are made from hardened steel that lasts up to 50,000 cuts before needing replacement.

NGM is also known for their dry process systems, which eliminate the need for water in battery separation—perfect for Iraq's arid south. "Water is precious here," Al-Zaidi says. "Our dry systems help recyclers save resources while still getting great results."

In Duhok, where environmental regulations are becoming stricter, Duhok Recycling Partners (DRP) is helping recyclers stay compliant. They specialize in lead battery cutter equipment paired with air pollution control system equipment , ensuring plants meet Iraq's latest air quality standards.

"A cutter is only as good as the safety it provides," says DRP owner Barzan Ahmed. "Our systems include fume hoods, dust collectors, and even small scrubbers to capture acid mist. Your workers will breathe easier, and you'll avoid fines."

DRP also offers free compliance audits to help recyclers identify gaps in their operations. "We don't just sell you a machine and walk away," Ahmed adds. "We help you build a plant that's sustainable for the long term."

Rounding out our list is Karbala Industrial Traders, the budget-friendly choice for new recyclers. Based in Karbala, they offer a range of entry-level lead battery cutter equipment , including basic hydraulic cutters and their popular used lead battery cutter HBC-045 (refurbished models at a fraction of the cost).

"Not everyone can afford brand-new equipment right away," says owner Hussein Ali. "Our refurbished HBC-045s are inspected, repaired, and tested to work like new—but cost 40% less." For recyclers on a tight budget, this is a great way to get started without compromising on quality.

Karbala Industrial Traders also sells hydraulic balers for compacting lead scrap, making it easier to transport and sell to smelters. "We want to be the first step in your recycling journey," Ali says. "When you grow, we'll be here to help you upgrade."
