AMB-H1075-250 Baler: Cut Battery Scrap Costs & Boost Recycling ROI

1. Introduction: Turning Battery Foil Waste into Profit

As global demand for electric vehicles and lithium-ion batteries grows, battery recycling plants and metal recovery companies are under increasing pressure to reduce costs and maximize the recovery value of critical materials.

In Indiana, for example, regulators have included batteries (nickel-cadmium, sealed lead-acid, lithium-ion) under a “Universal Waste” framework, simplifying recycling management and encouraging material recovery. （Source: in.gov - Indiana Department of Environmental Management）

Among the most valuable materials in the recycling process is aluminum foil, used as the cathode current collector. However, foil scraps mixed with coating and powder residues often lose value and are difficult to handle or sell directly in the metal market. Traditional manual collection and storage methods are inefficient, expensive, and unsafe — limiting recycling throughput.

2. Industry Pain Points

Battery and foil recyclers face several challenges:

Manual collection and transport of foil edge trim waste are slow and labor-intensive.

Mixed metal contamination lowers recycling purity and reduces market value.

Loose aluminum foil occupies large space and increases logistics cost.

Difficulty in scaling up collection systems for large production volumes.

Need for UL-certified, durable, automated baling equipment suitable for the U.S. market.

3. Enerpat’s Solution — AMB-H1075-250 Battery Cathode Scrap Baler

The Enerpat AMB-H1075-250 is a heavy-duty Battery Cathode Scrap Baler specifically engineered for compressing aluminum cathode foil, electrode scraps, and other non-ferrous materials generated during battery production and recycling.

It not only reduces material volume but also creates dense, high-value aluminum bales, increasing resale potential and improving storage and logistics efficiency.
For continuous and large-scale operations, Enerpat provides a complete automatic aluminum foil compression and stacking system, connecting up to 8–16 production lines via air duct feeding to a single central baler.

4. Technical Description

The AMB-H1075-250 delivers a pressing force of 250 tons, providing strong and stable compaction performance for lightweight aluminum foil and cathode scrap materials.
It is powered by dual 22 kW motors (total 44 kW), ensuring consistent hydraulic pressure and energy efficiency even under heavy workloads.

The press chamber measures 1000 × 750 mm, accommodating large foil bundles or electrode sheets, while the final bale size is approximately 250 × 250 mm, making it easy to handle, transport, and store.
With an output of up to 60 bales per hour, the machine is ideal for both single-line and multi-line recycling systems.

The AMB-H1075-250 operates fully automatically, integrating PLC control and intelligent monitoring for precise cycle management and safe operation.
