Recycling plants for electrical and electronic scrap
For each type of electrical and electronic waste ANDRITZ Recycling offers individually tailor-made plant solutions, which meet all requirements of the European WEEE Directive.
With the ADuro QZ shredder, ANDRITZ Recycling has developed a particularly effective and environmentally friendly technology, which has led the way throughout Europe, for recovering the recyclable materials and separating out the hazardous substances.
The ADuro QZ shredder as centerpiece of the e-scrap recycling plant breaks up gently the input material. That way the material composites are broken-up and assembly groups are freed. Batteries and capacitors remain intact whereby the material stream remains clean. Directly after the processing in the ADuro QZ approximately 80% of the input material can be separated manually, automatically or optoelectronically and is directly available for selling-on.

Option: Further granulation step for higher recycling rate
Key components: ADuro G shredder
- High purity degree of output fractions through further destruction of remaining material bounds
- Homogenized distribution of output size and form
- Customized grain-size, end products adapted to market demand
- High efficiency of the separation technique when granulated material is processed, higher recovery rate of valuable resources
- In-house integrated recycling solution from A to Z for gaining best value from input material
- High capacity because of higher quality and less quantity of material flow to the granulation step after treatment in the ADuro QZ
Output
- Printed circuit boards
- Transformers
- Capacitors
- Aluminum/copper
- Iron
- Stainless steel
- Plastics
Process advantages e-scrap recycling
- ADuro QZ with accelerating tools to gently open up material composites
- Wide range of input materials
- Most of the circuit boards remain intact and available to be sold to a metal foundry
- Size and form determined by the operating parameters of the ADuro QZ
- Faster and more efficient sorting of the valuable materials and contaminants
- Materials remain in coarse pieces, mostly separated from each other
- Easy to sort out valuable ferrous and non-ferrous fractions like motors, transformers, Fe/Cu compounds, copper, aluminum, cables, plastics
- Less wear and tear and higher availability of the following equipment due to early removal of disturbing and coarse parts
- Massive parts can also be processed without causing damages to the accelerating tools
- No release of harmful substances because of gentle dismantling of batteries and capacitors
