Electrical & electronic waste
Outstanding selectivity
In the recycling of waste from electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE), the goal is to gain marketable secondary raw materials that are as pure as possible, while safely extracting harmful components. Again and again, our Rotorshredder (type RS) has proven to be the important centerpiece of recycling plants. The Rotorshredder uses intense impact and shear forces to treat almost all categories of electronic and electrical waste, from small devices to washing machines, and achieves an outstanding selective disaggregation effect.
It has the following advantages:
- Variable and adjustable crushing effect
- Outstanding selective disaggregation
- Low wear-related costs
- Continuous operation
- No melting of plastics
- Laying open of batteries, capacitors, etc.
- High availability
- RS2018 Rotorshredder without noise protection enclosure during construction of a WEEE recycling plant in France
- Stage 1 of the WEEE plant with enclosed RS2018 Rotorshredder for pre-crushing the electronic waste
- Stage 2 of the French WEEE plant for fine processing of the electronic waste
In a second processing stage for materials with particle sizes up to 30 mm, our rotor impact mill (type RPMV) is ideal for ball-shaping metals and selectively disaggregating fine fraction.
Our plants incorporating the Rotorshredder can be constructed on a modular basis to provide an optimum balance between capital expenditure and operating efficiency. The plant can also be expanded at a later time to increase yields, improve the degree of automation, or increase the throughput.
