<p>In the process, batteries 6 are conveyed under the influence of gravity into the region of a knife 1 moving in a horizontal plane, located in a predetermined position relative to the knife and severed at least once, whereupon the solid and liquid components of the battery are segregated and further treated in a conventional way. A device for carrying out the process comprises at least one dropping well (5), Fig. 1, which has at its discharge end at least one movable knife 1, rotatable as shown, at least one stationary counter knife 2 and at least one plate 3, coupled with the knife 1, and located at a distance d as viewed in the dropping direction of the batteries, behind the cutting plane for supporting the batteries during the cutting operation. The rotatable knife or knives may be replaced by a reciprocable knife or knives. The severed slices 6b may be further divided by a bladed rotor 21 a co- operating with a blade 24, Fig. 10. <IMAGE></p> |
