2. GreenTech Recycling Equipment Ltd
GreenTech Recycling Equipment Ltd bridges the gap between lithium-ion battery recycling and e-waste management, making them a top choice for businesses handling mixed electronic waste. Their circuit board recycling plant with dry separator (500–2,000 kg/h capacity) is a standout, but they've recently expanded into lithium-ion battery recycling with a focus on precision. Their "GreenLi-Sep" system uses a compact granulator with dry separator to break down batteries and separate valuable metals without relying on water, reducing both energy use and wastewater treatment costs. What makes GreenTech popular among small-to-medium recyclers is their "start small, scale later" approach. They offer entry-level systems for 300 kg/h operations, which can be upgraded with additional modules like plastic pneumatic conveying systems as demand increases. Their team also provides custom workflow consultations, helping clients integrate battery recycling with existing e-waste processes for seamless operations.
3. Sustainable Recovery Systems
As the name suggests, Sustainable Recovery Systems prioritizes eco-friendly solutions, and their li battery recycling equipment reflects this mission. They specialize in small-to-medium scale setups (200–1,000 kg/h), making them a favorite among community recyclers, auto shops, and electronics retailers looking to manage their own battery waste. Their "SustLi-Recover" line includes compact breaking machines that use low-energy crushing technology and integrated sorting to recover lithium, cobalt, and copper. A unique offering is their plastic pneumatic conveying system, which automates the transport of separated plastic casings from the battery crusher to storage bins. This not only reduces manual labor but also minimizes dust exposure, improving workplace safety. Sustainable Recovery Systems also partners with local environmental agencies to ensure their equipment meets New Zealand's strict waste management guidelines, giving clients peace of mind that they're operating responsibly.
4. Advanced Battery Tech NZ
Advanced Battery Tech NZ is all about efficiency. Their li-ion battery breaking and separating equipment is engineered to maximize material recovery rates, with some systems boasting up to 95% retrieval of valuable metals. For businesses focused on profitability, this is a game-changer—more recovered material means higher revenue from recycled commodities. Their "AdvLi-HiRecover" system uses a combination of mechanical crushing and electrostatic separation, paired with hydraulic press machines to compact metal scraps for easier transport. They also offer specialized training programs for operators, ensuring that clients get the most out of their equipment. One client, a Christchurch-based EV recycler, noted that after switching to Advanced Battery Tech's system, their metal recovery rates increased by 12% within the first month. With capacities ranging from 400–1,500 kg/h, they cater to both mid-sized recyclers and larger industrial plants.
5. NZ EcoMech Engineering
NZ EcoMech Engineering takes a holistic approach to recycling, offering not just battery crushers but full-system solutions. Their expertise lies in integrating air pollution control machines equipment and water process equipment into lithium-ion battery recycling lines, ensuring that operations are compliant with New Zealand's strict air and water quality standards. For example, their "EcoMech TotalLi" package includes a battery breaking system, a scrubber for air pollution control, and a closed-loop water treatment unit to capture and reuse process water. This integrated approach is particularly valuable for large facilities aiming for zero-waste certification. EcoMech also offers on-site testing, where their engineers visit your location to assess space, power, and waste output before designing a custom system. With capacities from 300–2,000 kg/h, they've worked with clients ranging from municipal recycling centers to international battery manufacturers with NZ-based operations.
6. ResourceMax Equipment Wholesalers
ResourceMax Equipment Wholesalers is a one-stop shop for mixed-waste recyclers, and their lithium-ion battery crushing equipment is just one part of their diverse portfolio. They're known for offering high-quality, cost-effective machines, including cable recycling equipment, scrap cable strippers, and now, lithium-ion battery crushers. Their "ResourceLi-Crush" system is designed to handle both batteries and small electronic components, making it ideal for businesses that process a variety of scrap materials. What sets ResourceMax apart is their global network of manufacturers, allowing them to source specialized components at competitive prices. For example, their lithium-ion battery breaking equipment is paired with German-engineered blades for longer wear life, reducing maintenance costs. They also offer bulk discounts for wholesalers and traders, making them a top choice for businesses looking to resell equipment or stock spare parts.
7. CleanCycle NZ
CleanCycle NZ focuses on the "post-separation" stage of recycling, but their hydraulic briquetter equipment and dry process equipment are essential additions to any lithium-ion battery recycling line. After crushing and separating, recovered metals (like lithium and copper) often need to be compacted for transport—CleanCycle's hydraulic briquetters do this efficiently, reducing volume by up to 70% and lowering shipping costs. Their dry process equipment also includes specialized separators to remove fine dust from metal fractions, ensuring higher purity and better prices from smelters. While they don't manufacture the breaking machines themselves, they partner with leading lithium-ion battery equipment suppliers to offer bundled packages. For example, a client could purchase a crushing system from EcoCycle Solutions and pair it with CleanCycle's briquetter and dry separator for a turnkey solution. Their team provides on-site installation and maintenance, ensuring all components work together seamlessly.
8. PowerRecyclers Ltd
PowerRecyclers Ltd has long been a trusted name in industrial scrap recycling, with a focus on motors and heavy machinery. In recent years, they've expanded into lithium-ion batteries, leveraging their expertise in metal separation to create robust systems. Their "PowerLi-Recycle" line combines motor stator cutter equipment (for processing old EV motors) with lithium-ion battery separation systems, making them a go-to for auto recyclers transitioning into EV battery recycling. Their equipment is built for durability, with reinforced steel frames and heavy-duty blades designed to handle the toughest battery casings. One Auckland-based auto recycler noted that their PowerRecyclers system has been running 12-hour shifts, six days a week, for over a year with minimal downtime. With capacities from 350–1,600 kg/h, they're well-suited for businesses that need reliable, low-maintenance equipment.
9. Kiwi Green Recycling Tech
Kiwi Green Recycling Tech is a local favorite, known for their hands-on customer support and tailored solutions. While they're best known for circuit board recycling equipment, their foray into lithium-ion batteries has been marked by innovation. Their "KiwiLi-Wet" system uses wet process equipment to separate metals from battery waste, which they argue is more effective for fine particles than dry separation alone. This approach is particularly popular among recyclers focused on high-purity lithium recovery. They also offer hybrid systems that combine wet and dry processes, allowing clients to switch based on battery type (e.g., dry for consumer electronics batteries, wet for EV batteries). With capacities from 200–1,000 kg/h, they're a solid choice for niche operators who need flexibility. Their team is based in Hamilton, so clients benefit from quick response times for service calls and parts replacement.
