Equip your operation for EV battery discharge, removal, and handling with specialized equipment from Vortex.
We help battery recycling facilities, auto recyclers, and scrap metal businesses handling electric vehicles select equipment for their processes. Explore battery discharge systems, lift tables, mobile benches, and lifting frames, supported by our EV Ready training program.
Controlled discharge for battery recycling and testing
Manage battery discharge with equipment designed to monitor the process and support repeatable results.
Our discharger combines battery capacity testing with controlled discharge. For battery recycling operations, it supports discharge as part of an established battery preparation process. Its capacity testing functions also provide measurements to support battery assessment.
Key features include:
• Models for battery voltages up to 1,100 or 1,350 V DC.
• Discharge power up to 40 kW and current up to 100 A, depending on operating conditions.
• Constant current, power, resistance, and voltage modes.
• A 7-inch touchscreen displaying discharge parameters.
• Configurable discharge profiles and target voltage settings.
Vortex can help you identify a configuration based on your battery types, voltage range, and processing requirements.
Support, position, and move EV battery packs
Select battery handling equipment that fits your vehicles, battery weights, and workspace.
EV battery lift tables and mobile benches serve different purposes, from raising and lowering packs beneath a vehicle to supporting batteries during movement around a facility. Vortex helps auto recycling and battery recycling teams match equipment to each stage of their handling process.
BendPak’s Mobi-EVS tables combine powered lifting with mobile operation and fine positioning adjustments.
They support battery removal, lowering, transport, and alignment.
Key features include:
Accessible storage with fire-rated construction
The nominal 20-foot by 8-foot container opens along its side, providing access for loading large or palletized items. Its layout supports organized storage and forklift access for facilities planning a dedicated battery storage area.
Key features include:
• Manufacturer-specified four-hour fire-rated walls and ceiling.
• Lockable, weatherproof steel construction.
• A dry chemical fire suppression system.
• An exhaust fan and interior lighting specified for hazardous locations.
• A built-in spill containment sump.
• Removable, nonskid steel floor grating.
• Forklift pockets and crane lifting points.
The configuration should be reviewed for your battery types, condition, storage quantities, and site requirements. The construction’s fire rating does not establish four-hour containment of a lithium-ion battery thermal event.
