What does a cheese grater and a plate of pasta have to do with lead and lead batteries?
I’ll explain it to you right away.
Let’s do a technical review:
the lead acid battery is a set of energy cells. Each cell has a series of positive and negative plates which, connected in an appropriate way, create an energy accumulation.
Each plate (positive and negative) is composed of:
– lead grid
– mixing of lead oxide and additives.
To produce lead oxide a ball mill is used, one of these is the CAM MOP, which ONLY produces 100% tetragonal lead oxide. (but this is not the topic of the day).
To produce lead oxide, lead cylinders must be inserted inside the mill, which creates dust (lead oxide) through abrasion.
Lead cylinders can be produced in 2 ways:
1- melt the lead ingots and then solidify the liquid lead with a cylinder caster
2- Grate the lead ingot like cheese.
The first solution is old, a lot of energy consumption, smoke emissions, chimneys etc…
The second is the future. Simply grate the lead ingot like a cheese with the grater:
– up to 90% energy savings (cost cutting)
– healthy working environment (no lead levels)
– no chimneys
Here is the video of the LEAD SHAVER:

Now you will ask me: ‘and what about the quality of the oxide?’
