Driving growth of the Battery Industry with our global Spoke and Hub Model
Spoke
Exigo plans to expand and establish spokes across 10 countries. Mechanical size reduction of all types of batteries will be undertaken at the spokes in the near future.
Mechanical Processing
Spoke
Mechanical Processing
-
Building a local supply chain
Environment friendly solutions at source to facilitate the local
manufacturing industries and circularity in the businesses -
Mechanical size reduction of all batteries
Mechanical disintegration and size reduction of all types, sizes, shapes
and forms of batteries is undertaken at spokes with safety measures -
Prevention of transboundary movement of hazards
Global movement of battery packs and cells increases thermal hazards,
shipping of black mass from the spokes is the safest alternative -
Modular and scalable plant design
Our Spoke plants are quick and easy to ship, install and can be adapted
into the plant-in-plant concept, taking the modular machinery to scale -
Low-carbon footprint
Nature of this model enables reduced emissions
of carbon, driven by sustainable processes
Hub
Exigo hub is highly equipped with advanced novel processes to undertake the hydrometallurgical processing of recovery material.
Hub
Hydrometallurgical Processing
-
Chemistry agnostic black mass processing
Low-cost, high-yield technology contributes towards higher recovery percentages and ensures a reduction in waste
-
World-class plant facility
Built with global standards and sustainable concepts, the hub facility is equipped with best-in-class closed-loop technology
-
Extensive in-house R&D facilities
Expert team of scientists specializing in key fields of environmental research and development to constantly build and improve processes
-
Indigenous, in-house designed technology
Advanced quick optimization technology to undertake the resource recovery process from various battery compositions and chemistries
-
Sustainable Zero liquid discharge model
An addition to our plant, helping us achieve the net zero waste target and protect the environment.
Advancing toward growth and development of the battery recycling industry through Spoke and Hub Model
Spoke
Expansion through spokes acorss 10 countries is currently being undertaken. Mechanical size reduction and initial processing of batteries will take place at the spokes, to recover precious
metals and materials. Recovered material is then shipped to the
hub for continuous processing.
Hub
Further processing of recovery material from battery recycling
will take place at the hub using different novel processes. Hubs
are equipped with advanced hydrometallurgy capabilities along
with in-house labs to analyze each batch for purity, size, shape, moisture content, stability.
Expanding to a global production base in the coming years
Hub and spoke model will accreditate a larger production base and faster growth of battery recycling and recovery
Hub has produced 1000 tonnes of black mass in the year 2022
Hub is expected to grow the production exponentially by the year 2030
15+ spokes are in the pipeline to be opened across 8 key global locations
Large scale urban mining will reduce the carbon overhead to 3/4 amount than of natural mining
In-house designed, modular technology enables a sustainable, scalable model
In-house Sampling Labs
The in-house sampling labs determine the pricing and purity of products using advanced sample processing techniques. The sampling is handled by a team of experienced professionals, with results on par with global standards.

Environmentally conscious Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) model
Environmentally conscious Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) model
Our operations are designed to result in minimal effluents. The ZLD model is installed to cure remaining waste through sedimentation, ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis. This multi-stage process yields water of high purity and low resistivity, serving the needs of the plant processes. ZLD ensures we meet our net zero waste target and contribute to Exigo's mission of environmental protection.
