Abstract

The present invention discloses a method for power battery automatic fine-quantity sorting and an apparatus thereof, the method including the following steps of S 1 . The material is crushed, and leveled, and is then subjected to magnetic sorting processing to sort out iron powder; S 2 . The material after magnetic sorting is subjected to electrostatic processing to sort out positive electrode material powder; S 3 . The material after electrostatic processing is subjected to bounce processing to sort out the collector and graphite powder. A magnetic sorting device, an electrostatic sorting device, and a bouncing sorting device are accordingly provided.

Claims (20)
