Lithium batteries
Loose cells, power-tool packs, e-bike and scooter batteries, phone and laptop cells.
Including units buried inside bags or mixed waste.
Compact sensor that fits
into any conveyorbelt








THE PROBLEM
Waste moves through facilities in thick, mixed layers, and hazardous items are often hidden inside bags, cartons, or beneath other material. Cameras only see the surface, so batteries, gas bottles, and other threats can pass through undetected. Our sensor sees beneath the surface using electromagnetic induction, and AI classifies what it finds in real time, without radiation.
Hidden batteries and gas canisters are a fire risk that's easy to miss. Our sensor catches them before they reach the shredder, protecting your equipment, reducing downtime, and keeping your workers safer, with a simple plug-and-play install.
Contaminated batches often get diverted or discarded, losing recoverable value. By flagging hazards before they reach the shredder, our sensor keeps more of your waste stream clean and sortable, so more material makes it back into recycling.

What Litech delivers
Detecting hazardous objects before they reach sorting or shredding reduces risk and protects your equipment.
Lithium batteries and gas canisters are detected before they reach sorting or shredding, where they pose the greatest fire risk.
The sensor mounts under your existing conveyor belt and requires no major changes to your facility.
Reading multi-frequency magnetic signatures to separate batteries and gas bottles from ordinary metal, even buried in the stream or hidden inside a device.
Fewer stops caused by fires or jammed hazardous objects in the sorting line.

We've gathered the most common questions from customers and operators to make it easy to understand what the Litech sensor can do for you.
What is Magnetic Inductive Spectroscopy (MIS), and how is it different from X-ray or infrared systems?
MIS is a safe and radiation-free sensing technology that identifies materials based on their magnetic response. Unlike X-ray or infrared systems, MIS works without harmful emissions and can detect both metallic and non-metallic objects hidden inside complex waste streams. The sensor transmits signals every millisecond and identifies metals by their unique fingerprint, enabling precise alloy differentiation.

SUEZ is a French industrial giant with facilities in 40 countries across Europe, Africa, and Asia, handling tens of millions of tonnes of waste every year. Litech's detection technology is now installed on a dedicated test line at one of SUEZ's sorting facilities, where it is being validated in a real operating environment.


Battery fires and hazardous waste are becoming one of the biggest safety challenges for waste and recycling facilities worldwide. To help solve this growing problem, Litech has received NOK 14.4 million in funding to further develop its AI-powered waste detection technology.

Fire prevention in waste facilities is often discussed in terms of advanced technology, complex systems, and new regulations. For waste operators, however, the reality is far more practical. The question is not how advanced a solution sounds, but whether it works reliably in day-to-day operations. Waste facilities operate in demanding environments. High throughput, mixed materials, dust, vibration, and constant movement are part of normal operations. In this context, fire prevention technology must support the workflow that already exists, rather than adding friction or complexity.
