... SHREDDING UNLIMITED... WEEE Responsibility and Opportunity ERDWICH Recycling Plants for electrical and electronic scrap
Pleasure or Pain? Every regulation opens possibilities. The WEEE guideline Topic of greatest interest for manufacturers Once again, we are saddled with a bit more responsibility for our environment. The WEEE* guideline will come into effect compulsory within the EU, a voluntary standard for the rest of the world. Manufacturers, importers and initial sellers of electrical and electronic products (even internet trading companies) will then have to organise and finance for themselves recycling and disposal of the scrapped products, according to the regulations. Best prepared with ERDWICH. The WEEE requirements are demanding: Minimum rates of up to 80% reuse or recycling of products and the accountability of the manufacturer for auditable recording of volumes involved. The sanctions threatened by the legislation if the recycling quotas are not observed set the highest standards for the technology of the deployed recycling and disposal systems. Perfect shredding technology from ERDWICH with targeted separation of materials is the prerequisite for every optimal recycling process with high recycling quotas. The objectives: Disposal according to strict ecological standards in order to reduce the volume of waste and to protect our precious resources. Hence, the focus is avoiding waste, recycling materials and reusing them if possible. Furthermore, people and environment should be protected from toxic substances. With 0 years of experience in recycling and shredder technology over 000 installations in more than 0 countries continuously innovative technology and with a history of over 12 million disposed and recycled refrigerating devices ERDWICH is your partner for mastering the high requirements of the WEEE guideline.

Recycling of refrigerating devices safe, efficient and economic. CFC-foamed refrigerating devices represent one of the greatest threats to the vital ozone layer of our planet. In the meantime forbidden, but as a carried-over burden it will be around long into the future. Therefore, safe and economic recovering of CFC will become a very special challenge for recycling and shredder technology. ERDWICH took up this task at a early stage. Resulting from continued consultation with industry and disposal companies, the widely, proven multiple award winning and today market-leading process technology from ERDWICH has been developed. KOBE STEEL Japan Using it, you will even be the best equipped to cope with the continual tightening of the legal limiting values for the treatment of polluting materials.

Electrical and electronic scrap infinite diversity creative solutions. Big domestic appliances such as washing machines, tumble dryers, electric ranges, dishwashers etc. are in practice low-pollutant and are treated by means of the classical shredder technology from ERDWICH. Small household appliances, IT and telecommunication devices, home entertainment electronics and other electrical or electronic devices are, however, the materials requiring a specialised separating technology. Recycling electrical and electronic scrap is essentially subdivided into the following steps: presorting and selection of valuable resources extraction of pollutants rough shredding and disintegration manual sorting and further selection of reusable waste automatic separation of the different fractions specified further granulation finest separation of high-value reusable waste Efficient recovery requires high logistic effort for the collecting and separating of the different materials. From an economic point of view, a company applying this increased effort can achieve higher added value. Here, the concepts of plants which can be used in a flexible and economic way and which offer each company the opportunity of adapting to quick changing markets are those in demand. Demanding challenges for the ERDWICH engineers. Put us to the test. We offer the solution. It is not always the big installations and investments which lead to economic success. Often it is the compact niche solutions which achieve better recovery quotas and profitability. ERDWICH engineering: proven shredder technology for white goods innovative special solutions for brown goods flexible solutions for changing markets additionally prepared for niche solutions such as cable reprocessing lines, treatment lines for IT and telecommunication devices, printed circuits, IC components and much more. Granulator line for aluminium treatment Pre-shredding stage for cable recycling Recycling of printed circuit boards Fine granulator electronic scrap Put us to the test There s no such thing as can t!
Printed circuit boards conservation of resources by recovery Recovery of valuable precious metals, for example, of printed circuit boards: The electronic components are supplied to a pre-shredder by means of a feeding system. In a single-pass operation, large quantities are pre-shredded to a defined component size. The high proportion of ferrous metals is separated, the remaining material is conveyed to the area of finest separation. Materials of suitable quality are directly fed to finest separation for a chemical process in order to recover precious metals. In this way, the operator is always able to react flexibly to the different compositions of materials, thus achieving an optimal added value. The process-oriented control technology allows a variety of processing sequences. Due to modular system concepts, adaptable plants and variable fields of application are made possible. The core of electronic scrap recycling is our powerful granulators from ERDWICH. ERDWICH process engineering targeting the goal: pre-shredding for disintegration of materials fine granulation for sample splitting definition of further steps preparation for the chemical recovery process process-oriented control technology allowing different process sequences modular system technology for variable application highest degrees of purity for optimal added value Fine granulation with ferrous metals separation Electrical and electronic scrap feeding system with dust extraction Diagram of a ERDWICH recycling plant for electrical scrap FERROUS FERROUS SMALL NON FERROUS HEAVY NON FERROUS PLASTIC DUST Aspiration technology electrical and electronic scrap Big-bag filling station ERDWICH reusable waste logistic profiting environment and industry.
