RECYT · Black Powder & RecyclingIn-Line Powder Series
In-Line Powder
We read the key elements
while black powder flows
RECYT — a neutron analysis system that analyzes battery-recycling black powder (black mass) in real time, without stopping the line.
RECYT-Black Powder & Recycling
Hopper → analyzer → bulk bag:
measured on the way down
Black powder varies widely in composition and is hard to track in real time — a major cause of lower yield and higher cost. Without accurate composition, neither process optimization nor cost control is possible.
In-Line Powder places the analyzer on the path where crushed and sorted powder drops from the hopper into bulk bags, reading the composition of every lot as it passes.
