Electrical safety sets a new industry standard

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

We are once again supporting U.S. auto recyclers and dismantlers with a practical, real-world solution designed for daily operations in scrap yards and recycling facilities.

We don’t just supply equipment. We provide an integrated ecosystem for lithium battery safety, designed to turn a real operational hazard into a controlled, compliant, and profitable process. From safe battery stabilization through to the valorization of Black Mass.

How to manage lithium batteries in auto dismantling without risk

Auto dismantling has changed. The rapid influx of end-of-life electric and hybrid vehicles has introduced new challenges that traditional processes are not designed to handle.

Fire risk is real, high-voltage systems require strict procedures, and regulations continue to tighten. Batteries can remain unstable for days after removal, making storage just as critical as dismantling. Without the right technology, the risk is operational, financial, and legal.

Complete solution for EV battery safety, decontamination, and recycling

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

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

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

Safe lithium battery storage: how to prevent fires in facilities

Managing damaged or unstable batteries is one of the most critical challenges for any auto recycler today. This is where the safety of the entire facility is determined.

Storage systems are designed to contain risk before it escalates. Certified containers isolate high-voltage batteries, while monitoring systems continuously track temperature and gas levels. If anomalies occur, automated systems respond immediately to prevent fires or thermal events.

In this context, safety is not optional—it is a baseline requirement for operation.

Safe EV dismantling: equipment and procedures

Dismantling an electric vehicle is fundamentally different from working on a conventional car. The weights, risks, and priorities all change.

Dedicated workstations enable safe and controlled operations. Dismantling tables with integrated emergency systems allow immediate response in case of battery reaction. Lifting systems are engineered for complex loads without putting operators at risk, while discharge technologies ensure full electrical neutralization of the vehicle.

The result is a safer, more efficient working environment.

EV battery recycling: turning batteries into value

Once stabilized, a battery is no longer a hazard—it becomes a resource.

Processing systems enable size reduction and material separation, allowing recovery of metals such as copper and aluminum. The process produces Black Mass, a key intermediate for lithium and cobalt recovery in downstream refining operations. From hazardous waste to real economic value.
