Electrical safety sets a new standard

Stokkermill, Seltek and SEDA have joined forces to deliver a complete solution for the management of electric and hybrid end-of-life vehicles (ELVs).

We are once again supporting Italian vehicle dismantlers with a practical solution designed for those working every day in scrapyards and industrial yards.

We do not simply supply machinery. We provide an integrated ecosystem for lithium battery safety, capable of transforming a real operational hazard into a controlled and profitable process. From safe battery stabilisation through to the valorisation of Black Mass.

How to manage lithium batteries in dismantling yards without risk

Auto dismantling has changed. The large-scale arrival of end-of-life electric and hybrid vehicles has introduced new challenges that cannot be managed using traditional methods.

The fire risk is real, the presence of high voltage requires specific procedures, and regulations are becoming increasingly strict. Batteries can remain unstable even days after removal, making storage just as critical as dismantling itself. Without the right technology, the risk is not only operational but also financial and legal.

Complete solution for EV battery safety, decontamination and recycling

Seltek and Stokkermill combine SEDA’s technological expertise with industrial recycling engineering to deliver a complete end-to-end system.

This is not a set of individual machines, but a continuous process covering every stage of electric vehicle management: from intake and safe handling through to material recovery.

The advantage is simple: one single partner, one operational standard, no grey areas in battery management.

Safe lithium battery storage: how to prevent plant fires

The management of damaged or unstable batteries is currently the most critical issue for any dismantler. This is where the safety of the entire facility is decided.

Storage systems are designed to contain risk before it escalates. Certified containers isolate high-voltage batteries, while monitoring systems continuously track temperature and gas emissions. In case of anomalies, automatic systems intervene immediately to prevent fires or uncontrolled reactions.

In this context, safety is not an option – it is a fundamental requirement for continued operations.

Safe EV dismantling: equipment and correct procedures

Dismantling an electric vehicle is not the same as working on a conventional car. The weights are different, the risks are different, and priorities change completely.

Dedicated workstations allow safe and controlled operations. Integrated emergency dismantling tables enable immediate response in case of battery reaction. Lifting systems are designed to handle complex loads without putting operators at risk, while discharge technologies ensure full electrical neutralisation of the vehicle.

The result is a safer and more efficient working environment.

EV battery recycling: turning batteries into value

Once stabilised, the battery is no longer a problem but a resource.

Processing systems enable size reduction and material separation, allowing the recovery of metals such as copper and aluminium. The process leads to the production of Black Mass, a key intermediate for the recovery of lithium and cobalt in downstream refining processes. From hazardous waste to tangible economic value.
