Tuckahoe, NY – September 2024 – Elcan Industries, a leader in advanced material screening and separation technologies, is excited to announce a significant breakthrough in fine particle classification using their Elbow-Jet Air Classifier. Elcan Industries’ Elbow-Jet Lab Scale Air Classifier achieved 3.1 kg/hour, achieving a total recovery rate of 96% below 5 microns. The middle and coarse fractions were recovered directly as products, while the fine fractions were reprocessed at an 85% yield, minimizing waste and maximizing product quality. This achievement is a game-changer for industries requiring tight particle size control, particularly in the rapidly growing battery materials industry and energy storage sector.
Why This Matters: Graphite is a crucial material in battery manufacturing, and its performance relies heavily on achieving consistent particle sizes. With the Elbow-Jet Air Classifier, Elcan Industries has pushed the boundaries of what is possible in material processing, ensuring that companies in the energy storage sector can meet their stringent quality demands.
“Achieving the separation of graphite particles below 5 microns while maintaining a 96% recovery rate of good product reflects the years of expertise we’ve built at Elcan. Our separation technology has been and continues to be pivotal in advancing the performance of energy storage materials. By consistently pushing the limits of precision and efficiency, we’re helping to drive higher-performing end-use applications for clean energy solutions in the battery industry and energy storage sector.” said Jason Risolo, Lead Quality Engineer at Elcan Industries.
What’s Next for Elcan Industries: Elcan Industries continues to innovate in advanced particle separations, enhancing material performance for industries such as energy storage, powdered metals, aerospace and additive manufacturing. The Elbow-Jet Air Classifier has played a vital role in helping manufacturers refine their materials to meet the highest standards of quality and efficiency.

Tuckahoe, NY – June 12, 2023 – As the world advances towards renewable energy solutions, end-of-life management of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) has emerged as a pressing issue. Rising to this challenge, Elcan Industries unveils a groundbreaking solution – a proprietary sieving technology, the Hi-Sifter, that recovers the valuable “Black Mass” from shredded batteries.
Black Mass, a byproduct of battery recycling, typically contains lithium, cobalt, nickel, and other precious metals. It is usually obtained through hydrometallurgical or pyrometallurgical processes, which involve physically dismantling the batteries and subsequent chemical treatments.
The Hi-Sifter technology, developed by Elcan Industries, brings a new level of precision and efficiency to this process. Sieving through shredded battery material effectively separates the valuable Black Mass from the rest in an environmentally conscious manner.
“Our goal with the Hi-Sifter was to not only streamline the recovery of Black Mass but to do so in a way that reduces environmental impact, saves time, and simplifies the entire process from start to finish,” said Russell Grotto, Executive Vice President of Elcan Industries. “We are very excited about our ability to help companies recover Black Mass efficiently and to do so with high throughput rates, all while maintaining yields of over 97%. This is a major step towards creating a sustainable, closed loop process with reusable materials which can be recovered through the sieving process.”
Through utilizing the advanced Hi-Sifter sieving technology, Elcan Industries presents a promising solution to the growing issue of LIB waste, transforming the face of battery recycling. The company’s innovative approach offers a clear path toward a sustainable future while contributing significantly to the global fight against climate change.
