The following step is to make the batteries pulverize. Batteries are put through a hammer mill before being smashed over a mesh screen. The mesh screen is used to remove zinc, manganese, and other minerals that are used in the making of alkaline batteries.

The eddy-current will remove all manganese and zinc. The battery’s particles are placed on a vibrating screen using magnets that draw useless particles to one side as well as the zinc and manganese on the other.

After the manganese and zinc have been extracted the two are then shipped to another plant to be mixed to create a new substance. batteries. For more information, check out the video above.
