Nickel-Cadmium Battery Recycling Equipment & Shredders
BCA Industries is the leading manufacturer of industrial Nickel-cadmium (NiCad) battery recycling machines and equipment in the United States. Our systems are manufactured entirely in the U.S.A. and can process tons of battery material per hour into any sellable form you need.

Advanced NiCad Battery Recycling Technology 
The scientific complexity of NiCad batteries presents unique challenges for industrial-scale recycling. Our state-of-the-art shredding systems address these challenges through a progressive reduction system that transforms batteries into valuable, reusable materials without requiring disassembly.
Comprehensive Battery Processing System
Through our specialized Lithibatt division, we've developed cutting-edge hydro-nitrogen battery recycling systems that set new standards in the industry. Our systems are designed for maximum efficiency and safety, handling both large-scale operations and smaller processing needs.
Our Advanced Three-Stage Shredding Process
- Primary Shredding Reduction: The primary shredding reduction uses a fully submerged, watertight system that handles multiple battery packs simultaneously.
- Secondary Shredding Reduction: The secondary shredding reduction features a water-filled auger feed system for controlled size reduction and maintains safety through enclosed processing.
- Triplus Reduction: The Triplus reduction provides final size reduction to desired specifications, offering precise control over output material size.
Integrated Processing Systems for NiCad Battery Recycling
- Water system with black mass separation
- Drying system with ferrous separation
- Downstream mill system to ten mesh sizing
- Filtration and separation systems
Revolutionary System Features Safety & Efficiency
This closed-loop system eliminates effluent discharge while processing battery packs and modules, removing the need for costly disassembly. Integrated safety systems ensure secure and efficient operation throughout the entire process.
