Ewaste Recycling/ Management Equipments

1. Introduction to recycling equipment
Electronic waste (E-Waste) recycling requires professional equipment for classification, disassembly and treatment, mainly including:

Sorting equipment: magnetic separator (separation of ferromagnetic metals), eddy current separator (separation of non-ferrous metals such as aluminum and copper).

Disassembly equipment: automatic disassembly line (efficient decomposition of circuit boards and screens), hard disk crusher (ensuring safe data destruction).

Crushing and sorting: hammer crusher, electrostatic separator (separation of metals and plastics).

Precious metal extraction: cyanide leaching tank (recovery of gold and silver), smelting furnace (purification of metals).

2. Recycling process
Collection and classification: Recycle waste electrical appliances from households and businesses and classify them by material (metal, plastic, circuit board).

Disassembly and processing: manual or mechanical disassembly, separation of dangerous parts such as batteries, screens, PCBs.

Crushing and sorting: After crushing, metals and non-metals are separated by magnetic separation, eddy current and other technologies.

Resource processing: precious metal refining (such as gold and silver), plastic recycling, and safe disposal of hazardous substances.

3. Electronic waste management
Environmental compliance: It must comply with the “Regulations on the Management of Waste Electrical and Electronic Products” to avoid pollution.

Data security: Hard disks, mobile phones, etc. must be professionally destroyed to prevent information leakage.

Sustainable processing: Promote green recycling and reduce landfill and incineration.

4. Recycling income analysis
High-value materials: 1 ton of used mobile phones contains about 300 grams of gold (much higher than the grade of gold mines), and circuit boards contain recyclable metals such as copper and aluminum.

Market conditions:

Copper (40-60 yuan/kg)

Aluminum (15-25 yuan/kg)

Gold (depending on purity, about 400 yuan/gram or more)

Profit model:

Individual recyclers: monthly income of about 5,000-20,000 yuan (depending on the amount of recycling).

Large-scale enterprises: annual profits can reach millions (equipment investment of more than 500,000 yuan is required).

Electronic waste recycling has both environmental and economic benefits, but requires professional equipment and management. With policy support (such as the “Extended Producer Responsibility System”), the industry has broad prospects, and reasonable operations can achieve a win-win situation for the environment and benefits.
