Core Features
DREV provides an advanced contamination-control and material-recovery system designed for high-precision industrial environments, especially battery manufacturing, recycling, and critical mineral processing. The company’s flagship solution, Vault, replaces traditional wet cleaning methods with a dry-brush, chemical-free cleaning system that removes micron-scale particles from equipment, tools, PPE, and surfaces.
Vault units capture hazardous “black dust” generated in gigafactories and convert it into a recoverable resource stream rich in lithium, nickel, cobalt, graphite, and copper. The system integrates sensors and software that monitor contamination loads, cleaning efficiency, filter saturation, and traceability. This combination of hardware and data analytics improves safety in clean rooms, reduces downtime, and supports circular-economy operations.
The modular design allows installation at entrances, exits, and key contamination hotspots in large industrial facilities, enabling controlled workflows and compliance with strict environmental and safety standards.
Plans & Pricing
DREV does not publish pricing information publicly. Based on available data and industry practice, typical arrangements include:
Hardware Purchase or Leasing: Vault systems installed on-site, sized and configured according to facility requirements.
Software & Analytics Subscription: Access to contamination monitoring dashboards, equipment status, and filter lifecycle management.
Maintenance & Filter Replacement: Service packages covering periodic inspections, consumables, and replacement of dust-capture units.
Enterprise or Custom Deployment: Tailored solutions for gigafactories, recycling plants, and large industrial customers, including layout optimisation and multi-unit workflows.
Pricing must be requested directly from DREV due to significant variation between industrial use-cases.
Integrations
Although not a traditional SaaS platform, DREV systems can integrate with:
Industrial Health & Safety Systems: Integration of contamination logs and cleaning verification data.
Factory Management & MES Systems: Export of contamination metrics and event logs.
Environmental Monitoring Dashboards: Supports reporting for material recovery rates and contamination prevention.
Battery Manufacturing Infrastructure: Designed to fit into clean-room protocols used by battery gigafactories.

Expert Voices & Reviews
External commentary includes:
Industry analysts describe DREV’s system as a “missing link” for contamination control in battery-manufacturing clean rooms.
Investors from the €2.8 million seed round noted its “strong circular-economy potential” through recovery of high-value metals normally lost as hazardous dust.
Clean-tech commentators cite Vault as one of the most promising European technologies for improving worker safety and reducing waste in the fast-growing battery sector.
(Additional quotable sources can be added as DREV publishes more case studies.)
Customers & Case Studies
While full customer lists are not publicly disclosed, available information indicates:
Battery gigafactories using Vault systems for clean-room contamination control.
Recycling facilities recover metal-rich dust streams for reprocessing.
Material-processing companies are improving safety and reducing chemical cleaning.
Early pilots in Swedish industrial sites are validating the recovery of lithium, cobalt, and graphite from captured “black dust”.
As the company remains in a scale-up phase, new case studies are expected as deployments expand.
Closing Insights
DREV offers a unique and highly promising solution for industrial operators facing strict contamination, worker-safety, and sustainability requirements. The dry-brush technology eliminates the need for water and chemicals, making it a strong fit for manufacturers aiming to reduce hazardous waste and support circular-material flows.
Its greatest strengths include:
Innovative dry cleaning method
Recovery of critical minerals normally lost as waste
Improved clean-room safety and compliance
Integration of hardware and data for traceability
Limitations include limited public case-study data and a lack of published pricing, as expected from a young industrial-cleantech company.
Overall, DREV is particularly well-suited for battery gigafactories, metal-processing plants, recycling facilities and advanced manufacturing environments aiming to reduce contamination risks, cut environmental impact and recover valuable materials.
