Refrigerator recycling plant
TURN-KEY PLANT FOR REFRIGERATOR TREATMENT
REFRIGERATORS RECYCLING AND RESPECT FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
Total recovery of all materials
Once disposed of, refrigerators require a specific recycling process capable of properly treating both the solid components and any oils and gases contained within the appliance and dangerous to the atmosphere.
The FOR REC refrigerator treatment plant provides a production cycle capable of securing and treating refrigerators, guaranteeing the valorization of all its components without any impact on the environment.
In fact, thanks to the development of sophisticated technologies, FOR REC has customized refrigerator recycling lines for European and non-European markets, achieving excellent results in terms of performance.
COMPLETE TREATMENT OF REFRIGERATORS
OPTIMAL MATERIAL SEPARATION
The stages of the production cycle for the treatment of refrigerators include:
- Initial stage of refrigerator reclamation with removal of the motor and subsequent separation of the oil and gas contained in the refrigerant circuit.
- Shredding and reduction into homogeneous pieces up to 30 mm.
- Next, material separation steps are carried out. Using magnet systems, ferrous and nonferrous metals are recovered, while the remaining material is ground to 12 mm. Through technologies that take advantage of different specific weights, plastic, copper, and aluminum are separated.
- An advanced suction system allows the total recovery of the CFC that is released during polyurethane grinding, while at the same time controlling and filtering the dust that develops during the recycling process.
- Finally, a sophisticated compacting plant pelletizes the polyurethane, making it inert.
BOILER RECYCLING PLANTS
HIGH PERFORMANCE AND CONTINUOUS OPERATION
The boiler is one of the traditional methods of hot water production and is often chosen for its ease of installation and maintenance.
Due to the presence of harmful gasses contained in polyurethane foam, electric water heaters require specific recycling treatment.
Therefore, designing a water heater recycling line requires scrupulous attention to each treatment step.
The new plants designed by FOR REC operate at very high performance and can process up to 5.5 tonnes of boiler per hour, operating 24/7.
Starting with the refrigeration recycling line, FOR REC has upgraded its machineries and developed a plant for the specific treatment of boilers that follows several steps:
- Pyramid shredding by means of two shredders in succession working to obtain a precise size up to 30mm ready for subsequent separations;
- Separation of output materials with recovery of ferrous and non-ferrous metals through a sequence of magnet systems;
- Grinding of remaining material and reduction of processed material to 5mm with technologies that separate plastic, copper and aluminum by exploiting the different specific weights of the materials;
- Separation of polyurethane foam from magnetic, a-magnetic steel and plastics. This avoids harmful gas dispersion into the environment;
- Pressing the polyurethane into pellets to remove the last residual gasses. The gasses are treated by means of a carbon adsorption system and nitrogen cryocondensation, which brings the gas to a liquid state for subsequent treatment.
