Battery materials: Furnace systems from AICHELIN KILNPARTNER

Industrial plants execute thermo-chemical processes such as the calcination of precursor cathode active material (pCAM) into cathode active material (CAM), or the purification and heat treatment of carbon-based anode active materials (AAM).

AICHELIN KILNPARTNER provides innovative and modern kiln solutions and services according to customer requirements. The offer to our customers includes complete kiln systems (including automation) for calcination of CAM (both NMC and LFP), as well as anode active material (natural and synthetic graphite).

Our Kiln Solutions and Concepts:

2-Level Roller Hearth Kiln

Maximum efficiency on two levels

Double production capacity in the same space – ideal for scaling battery manufacturers.
Reduced energy consumption through heat exchange between upper and lower chambers.
Precise temperature control and uniform heat distribution ensure consistent material quality.

Box-Kiln

Compact precision for labs and R&D

High-precision temperature control for repeatable testing, and material development in uniform heat conditions.
Ideal for small batches & prototyping supports fast innovation cycles.
Safe and space-saving with multiple protection features for lab environments..

Rotary Kiln

Optimized for fine powders continuous, efficient, and scalable

Ideal for large-scale production, with continuous operation and high thermal throughput.
High-temperature capability up to 1600 °C, suitable for sintering, calcination, and thermal decomposition of battery materials.
Flexible process control, with adjustable rotation speed, tilt, and inert atmosphere for precise thermal processing.

From Raw Minerals to High-Performance EV Batteries

The full battery lifecycle spans from raw material extraction through cell manufacturing to recycling. Our strength lies in the thermal processing steps that are critical to material performance - as highlighted in the section below.

END-OF-LIFE LITHIUM-ION BATTERY RECYCLING LINE

AICHELIN Kilnpartner offers a next-generation solution for the recycling of end-of-life lithium-ion batteries, combining advanced automation, safety, and material recovery efficiency.

Safe shredding & drying: Low-speed shredding with optional inert gas, followed by sealed drying at 180°C for electrolyte removal and binder decomposition.
High black mass recovery: Multi-stage crushing, ultra-fine grinding, and precision separation achieve up to 97% black mass recovery.
Clean & continuous operation: Advanced air filtration, dust control, and stable negative pressure ensure safe, emission-controlled processing.

Maximum material recovery. Minimal risk. Optimized for modern battery recycling challenges.
