Electronic Scrap Recycling Plant ES

The plant consists of pre-crusher, a separation unit, a granulator, a separation for shredded plastic (foils, dust), iron, synthetic material and aluminum/copper.

After the e-waste is delivered the the loose parts such as CRTs, glass, batteries, cables, etc. are removed. In the first step the e-waste is cut into 50mm wide stripes then separated manually from hartened shafts, capacitors and printed circuit boards (PCBs). Only then the sighted e-waste is moved to the post-shreeder where it is shredded into < 30mm pieces.

The recyclable material – aluminium/copper, iron, and plastic are separated subsequently.

  • Dust and shredded plastic is separated from the main flow with a Zig Zag sparator.
  • Pieces of iron are taken out using a magnetic separator belt and a neodymium magnet separator.
  • The eddy-current separator removes the residual NE-material from the plastic.

The pellets from the hammer mill can be separated into aluminium and copper.
 

Throughput

One ES system can recycle up to 3 or 5t per hour of e-waste.
 

CHEMA-ES recycling system characteristics

The monitoring system which includes data loggers is useful for continuous recording and supervision of the entire system. The camera observes the feed to the pre-shredder.

It is even possible for a tele-diagnosis to be made via modem.
