Product information „CEMO storage and transport drum“

This safety bin is a simple and inexpensive system for safely storing and transporting lithium-ion batteries and rechargeable batteries from e-bikes, power tools, garden tools, etc. The bin is particularly suitable for collecting defective lithium-ion batteries and rechargeable batteries and for storing them until disposal.

Please contact us if you would like to receive a customised quote.

Size, structure and function of the safety bin

The CEMO battery safety bin has a diameter of 382 mm and a height of 680 mm, with a capacity of 60 litres. Its empty weight is approx. 6.9 kg. The container is supplied with a 50-litre bag of vermiculite. However, the containers should not be stacked when full.

Features

This system consists of a clamp-ring lid container with a special valve for pressure relief in the event of damage. It works on the same principle as a pressure cooker. The container is delivered ex works with a plastic bag and is half-filled with vermiculite filling material.

Scope of delivery

  • Battery safety bin
  • 50 litre vermiculite bag
  • Large sticker with dangerous goods pictogram 9A
  • Packaging instructions based on P903 and P908 of the ADR
  • 2 inner bags (650 x 1200 mm), 150 μm
  • 10 inner bags for packaging defective batteries (400 x 500 mm), 150 μm
  • 2 cable ties

Certification and guidelines

Lithium batteries fall under dangerous goods class 9, which means that the goods pose a significant risk to the environment during transport. Numerous regulations and guidelines must therefore be observed when transporting lithium batteries

.

Certified as packaging group I.

The battery safety bin meets the requirements of packaging group I, which means that substances with a high risk potential may be transported in it. It also has a UN X code.

Suitable for transport in accordance with SV 376 of the ADR and packaging instruction P 908

All lithium-ion cells or batteries and lithium metal cells or batteries that have been damaged and no longer comply with the applicable regulations in accordance with their manual must comply with the provisions of Special Provision 376 (SV 376). This applies, for example, to cells that have leaked or degassed, suffered external or mechanical damage, or have been identified as defective for safety reasons, or could not be diagnosed prior to transport. These cells must then be packed in accordance with packing instruction P 908. According to this guideline, it must be ensured, for example, that any electrolyte that is released is absorbed and that a non-electrically conductive thermal insulation material protects the environment from dangerous heat build-up.

For storage, transport and recycling in accordance with SV 377 of the ADR and packaging instruction P 909

Special provision SV 377 regulates the transport of lithium-ion cells or batteries and lithium metal cells or batteries that are being transported for disposal or recycling. Similar to packaging instruction P 908, P 909 requires compliance with guidelines for packaging group II. In addition, restrictions apply to the nominal energy and weight of lithium-ion cells and batteries.

The manufacturer

With imagination and drive, CEMO GmbH from Weinstadt has been synonymous with safe storage for more than 60 years. The company is a pioneer in the field of modern transport and storage container technology and is one of the market leaders in this area.

Future-oriented

Lithium-ion batteries will become indispensable in all industrial applications in the coming years. However, if used improperly, the batteries can pose a potential hazard that should not be underestimated during manufacture, storage and transport. By purchasing this safety drum, you can protect yourself against major financial losses right from the start.

Working for you

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions. We look forward to hearing from you!

FAQ

That depends on various factors that need to be considered:

  • size of the battery(ies)
  • condition (e.g. non-critical, defective, critically defective or prototype)
  • power

Transport boxes are available in many different sizes and specifications. The packaging group for which the box is suitable is indicated for each product.

Even if the batteries are not critical, remember to protect them from shocks and to order appropriate filling material if it is not already included in the box.

Yes. Should a battery reach a critical state and cause a fire, separating the batteries will prevent the fire from spreading and multiplying.

Generally, the insulation and protection material should line all sides of the container. The batteries are stored between individual layers.

We also have containers in our program that already have the protective material integrated into the outer wall. No further protective layer is necessary here.

The technical principles for storage and transportation solutions are very similar. The transport boxes are also subjected to extensive tests in accordance with ADR (drop test, fire test, etc.) to confirm compliance with the ADR regulations. The packaging regulations are extensive and regulated by law.
There are currently no comparable regulations for storage. Nevertheless, manufacturers of storage boxes regularly carry out appropriate tests.
The right container depends on the type and size of the battery to be shipped or stored.

The transportation of batteries is subject to ADR regulations.

The number, size and weight, energy density and condition of the batteries are crucial parameters for finding a suitable transport container for lithium-ion batteries. The selection process is complex and should be carried out by appropriately trained personnel. We have a trained hazardous materials officer on our team. Please feel free to contact us.

Plastic containers are cheaper but not as durable as metal containers. They are suitable, for example, for non-critical batteries, defective batteries, prototypes and end-of-life batteries. They can be used for both storage and transportation.

Metal containers are required, for example, when dealing with critically defective batteries.

The exact packaging instructions for these cases can be found in the ADR or by consulting a certified hazardous materials specialist.

To date, there are no legal requirements for the storage of lithium-ion batteries, which does not mean that they should be stored without suitable protective measures.

It is best to check with your insurer to find out which measures they recognize as suitable in the event of a claim.

For example, a suitable box could already be recognized as spatial separation.

CEMO Vermiculite in a 50-litre sack

Vermiculite is a 100% mineral-based natural product and is ideal as a filling material for packaging in accordance with dangerous goods regulations. The material is non-flammable (certified non-flammability, building material class A1, DIN 4102) and temperature-resistant up to over 1000°C. Vermiculite is very well suited for transporting defective lithium-ion batteries. Its special structure prevents damage from impacts and, thanks to its absorbency of up to 7 times its own weight, leaking liquids such as electrolytes can be bound immediately.
