An e-waste recycling line is an automated or semi-automated system specifically designed to process discarded electronic devices (such as computers, mobile phones, televisions, refrigerators, printers, etc.).
An e-waste recycling line is an automated or semi-automated system specifically designed to process discarded electronic devices (such as computers, mobile phones, televisions, refrigerators, printers, etc.). Its purpose is to efficiently and environmentally dismantle, sort, and recover valuable materials (such as metals, plastics, and glass) from e-waste, while minimizing environmental pollution and harm to human health.
E-waste recycling line process flow:
1. Pre-processing Unit
• Function: Performs preliminary sorting, disassembly, and pre-processing of e-waste.
• Manual/Semi-automatic Disassembly Station: Used for manual or mechanical disassembly of large electronic devices.
• Shredder: Coarsely shreds e-waste for subsequent sorting.
• Magnetic Separator: Initially separates ferromagnetic metals (such as iron and steel).
• Conveyor System: Transports material to the next processing stage.
2. Crushing and Sorting Unit
• Function: Further breaks e-waste into smaller pieces and physically separates different materials.
• Hammer Crusher/Cutter Shredder: Shreds e-waste to a suitable size. • Eddy Current Separator: Uses electromagnetic induction to separate non-ferrous metals (such as copper and aluminum).
• Gravity Separator/Vibrating Screen: Separates plastics, metals, and glass based on density differences.
• Electrostatic Separator/Photoelectric Separator: Used for finer plastic sorting or metal purification.
3. Dust and Waste Gas Treatment System
• Function: Treats dust and harmful gases generated during the crushing and sorting processes to ensure compliance with environmental standards.
• Pulse Dust Collector/Bag Dust Collector: Removes dust.
• Activated Carbon Adsorption Unit/Scrubber: Treats organic waste gas and acidic gases.
Recyclable materials such as sorted metals (copper, aluminum, iron), plastics, glass, and circuit board scraps enter downstream recycling processes.
Advantages of E-waste Recycling Lines
1. Resource Recycling: Efficiently recovers valuable resources such as gold, silver, copper, and aluminum, reducing pressure on mineral extraction.
2. Environmental Protection: Preventing toxic substances in e-waste (such as lead, mercury, cadmium, and brominated flame retardants) from contaminating soil and water sources.
3. High Level of Automation: Modern production lines can achieve a high degree of mechanization and intelligence, improving efficiency and reducing labor costs.
4. Compliance with Policies and Regulations: Meeting environmental regulations and circular economy requirements for e-waste disposal in various countries (such as China's "Regulations on the Management of the Recycling and Treatment of Waste Electrical and Electronic Products").
Scope of Application
• Household e-waste: Televisions, refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioners, computers, mobile phones, etc.
• Industrial electronic equipment: Servers, communications equipment, industrial control instruments, etc.
• Electronic accessories: Circuit boards, batteries, cables, monitors, printer cartridges, etc.
E-waste recycling production lines are core facilities for achieving the "resource recovery, reduction, and harmless treatment" of e-waste. They are of great significance for promoting the circular economy, protecting the ecological environment, and ensuring resource security. With technological advancements and improved policies, e-waste recycling will develop towards greater efficiency, intelligence, and environmental friendliness.
E-waste recycling systems can be customized based on specific materials.
