Abstract: This disclosure relates to a shredder with a fluid-immersion shredding chamber and a sealing assembly for containing fluid in the shredding chamber. For example, the shredding chamber can include a plurality of shredding instruments (e.g., teeth, knives, etc.) that are manipulated (e.g., rotated, spun, reciprocated, etc.) to shred or otherwise disassemble various objects (e.g., batteries). In some examples, the shredding instruments are mounted on a shaft that rotates to manipulate (e.g., turn) the shredding instruments inside the chamber. In addition, the shaft can interface with (e.g., insert into and exit from) the shredding chamber through an opening in a sidewall of the shredding chamber, and examples of the present disclosure are directed to a sealing assembly for reducing the likelihood that fluid from the chamber might leak through the opening
