Lead Ingot Cold Cutting Machine
Convert standard lead ingots into uniform granules for downstream ball mill feeding without large melting furnaces, hazardous lead fumes, or heat-intensive handling. This automated cold cutting system improves safety, lowers energy consumption, and keeps output consistent for lead-acid battery production lines.

Watch the machine process lead ingots into ready-to-feed granules through automated conveying, extrusion, cutting, and discharge.
Key Advantages for Lead Processing Lines
This PLC-controlled system is designed to improve workplace safety, lower furnace-related energy demand, and deliver stable lead granule output for continuous battery manufacturing operations.
No Harmful Lead Fumes
Because the ingots are processed in a cold state, the machine avoids the melting stage that generates hazardous lead fumes and high-temperature handling risks.
Lower Energy Consumption
Eliminating large melting furnaces cuts energy usage significantly and helps reduce operating cost in lead-acid battery material preparation.
Stable High Output
The machine is built for continuous production and can process about 2.5 to 2.75 tons of lead ingots per hour under the listed configuration.
Fully Automated PLC Control
Ingot conveying, extrusion, cutting, and discharge are coordinated by a PLC system for repeatable operation and lower dependence on manual intervention.
Uniform Granule Quality
Cold extrusion and precision cutting help produce consistent lead granules that feed more reliably into the downstream ball mill process.
Cleaner Downstream Handling
Granules leave the machine ready for discharge and transfer, supporting smoother material flow into the next stage of lead powder production.
How Lead Ingot Cold Cutting Works
The machine converts solid lead ingots into evenly sized granules through automated conveying, repeated cold extrusion, precision cutting, and controlled discharge.
Ingot Conveying
Standard 45 kg lead ingots are transferred into the machine through the automatic conveying mechanism.
Cold Extrusion
A powerful extrusion system repeatedly compresses the solid ingot and forms uniform lead strips without melting.
Granule Cutting
The formed strips move into the cutting zone, where they are cut into controlled granule sizes and weights.
Granule Discharge
Finished granules are discharged by scraper conveyor and prepared for feeding into the downstream ball mill machine.

Granule Cutting
The formed strips move into the cutting zone, where they are cut into controlled granule sizes and weights.
Granule Discharge
Finished granules are discharged by scraper conveyor and prepared for feeding into the downstream ball mill machine.
Main Components and Functional Zones
The layout combines conveying, compression, cutting, and discharge modules in one integrated production unit for lead granule preparation.
Automatic Ingot Feed
The infeed system accepts standard lead ingots and keeps material delivery stable before extrusion begins.
Cold Extrusion Unit
Multiple compression actions shape solid lead into uniform strips without the heat and fumes of traditional melting methods.
Precision Cutting Mechanism
The cutting section controls granule dimensions and helps maintain a repeatable weight range for downstream processing.
Scraper Conveyor Discharge
Finished granules are moved out efficiently so the next stage receives a steady, ready-to-use material stream.

Lead Ingot Cold Cutting Machine FAQs
Answers to the questions most often asked by lead-acid battery manufacturers and recycling plants evaluating cold cutting technology.
Cold cutting eliminates the melting stage, which means no large furnace, far less energy demand, and no harmful lead fumes generated during granule preparation. It also supports cleaner, more automated material handling.
The granules are typically used as feedstock for a ball mill machine, where they are processed into lead powder for battery plate manufacturing.
Yes. The machine can be configured to produce granules from about 25 x 25 x 17 mm down to 20 mm, with a typical granule weight of 75 to 100 grams within a small tolerance range.
The listed configuration requires 0.2 MPa water pressure and 0.4 to 0.7 MPa air pressure, in addition to the installed electrical load.
