Battery Recycling Safety: The Disassembly Table with Integrated Cooling Tank (DSC Series)

The electric vehicle (EV) recycling market is facing a critical challenge: how to dismantle high-voltage battery packs while ensuring operator safety and protecting facilities. The risk of thermal runaway is the number one threat for companies involved in second life applications, refurbishing, or pre-treatment for black mass recovery.
Stokkermill addresses this need with the DSC Series, a disassembly table specifically engineered to neutralize fire risk at its source.

How the Stokkermill DSC Disassembly Table Works

Unlike standard workbenches, the DSC table is an active safety system. Its structure is built around two core components:

Upper Work Grate
A robust, fully accessible surface where operators perform battery pack opening, diagnostics, and module disassembly.

Integrated Immersion Tank Below
A built-in tank filled with water or a fire-suppressant liquid.

In the event of an emergency—such as smoke, overheating, or sparks—the work surface can rapidly lower the battery pack or modules directly into the tank. Immediate immersion drastically reduces temperature, stopping the chain chemical reaction typical of lithium-ion batteries and preventing thermal runaway.

Custom Solutions for Every Battery Type

In the automotive and energy storage sectors, there is no single size standard. A Tesla battery pack has very different dimensions compared to an e-bike battery or an industrial forklift battery.

For this reason, Stokkermill designs DSC tables tailored to customer specifications. Customization options include:

Work platform dimensions: 2,700 × 1,900 × 920 mm

Support frame dimensions: 1,435 × 1,280 × 920 mm

Maximum battery dimensions: 2,650 × 1,850 mm

Load capacity: Up to 1,000 kg

Cooling tank capacity: 2,980 liters

Automatic activation temperature: 68°C (154°F)

Automation: Hydraulic grid movement and automated lid opening/closing (sealed quarantine mode)

Filtration system: Integration with filtration units for post-immersion wastewater management

This modular, made-to-order approach ensures maximum safety and efficiency across all EV, industrial, and energy storage battery applications.

What equipment is needed to disassemble electric vehicle batteries? +
Besides high-voltage personal protective equipment (dielectric gloves, face shields), a fire-resistant and emergency-equipped workstation is essential. Stokkermill DSC tables provide an integrated collection tank and safety systems for immediate cooling.
How to work safely with lithium batteries? +
Disassembling lithium batteries involves risks of fire and thermal runaway. The best solution is to operate on safe workstations like Stokkermill DSC disassembly tables, which allow rapid immersion of the battery in case of overheating.
How to prevent accidents during battery disassembly? +
Besides personal protective equipment, it is crucial to use specialized equipment. Stokkermill DSC tables combine a sturdy work surface with an integrated cooling tank, drastically reducing the risk of fire during disassembly operations.
How to extinguish a lithium battery fire during disassembly? +
The most effective method to contain a fire outbreak (thermal runaway) during disassembly is rapid cooling by immersion. Stokkermill DSC tables allow the battery to be submerged within seconds without moving it.
