Fire prevention shouldn't be complex. That's why we built a simple sensor that slides under your existing conveyor belt and detects hazardous items, such as lithium batteries and gas bottles, before they cause a fire. Fires happen more often than most people realize. The UK alone reports 1,200+ a year at waste plants, and that's only the ones that get recorded.
We're already installed in facilities across Norway and internationally, proven safe and effective in daily use.

Our Vision
Our Vision
Litech's vision is simple: catch hazardous items before they become fires. That means waste facilities can operate continuously, protect their material flows, and recover more of what they process.
We want to help the industry move from managing risk to building real circularity.
What we care about most long-term is making waste facilities fundamentally safer. When safety technology becomes simple and accessible, it creates an incentive to adopt it, not just among the largest players, but across the whole industry.
That's when we can make a real impact.

BEFORE LITECH
Hazardous items go undetected until they cause a fire
Manual inspection can’t keep up with waste volume
Detection systems require facility rebuilds or radiation licensing
Existing metal detectors flag anything metallic, not just hazardous objects
Fires and unplanned downtime with no warning
WITH LITECH
A simple sensor that slides under your existing conveyor belt — no facility rebuild
Installs in one day, no radiation, no licensing required
Powered by MIS (Magnetic Inductive Spectroscopy), reading every metal alloy, not just "something metal"
Detects and classifies hazardous items in real time, including lithium batteries, gas bottles, and more
AI tells you exactly what the object is, not just that something's there
