New recycling plant for opening up electronic waste and printed circuit boards. At the Mühlacker site in Baden-Württemberg, Germany the company MetReTec GmbH has built a new, modern recycling plant for recycling of electronic waste and circuit boards. The recycling plant is located Muehlacker, Germany, has a plant area of approx. 8000 m² and approx. 35 employees are operating the plant. A Turbo-Crusher type TQZ1200, from THM recycling solutions GmbH, is the first unit in the system and is used to shred and break up the input material. With a modern and comprehensive downstream separation system the crushed and open-up material, is separated into single-type fractions. The resulting pure materials, such as Copper, precious metals, plastics and steel are marketable materials that can be returned into the material cycle. Other material fractions that arise in this process can be refined or processed using other equipment.

New pusher ensures continuous throughput One step size reduction solution extends the product portfolio of THM recycling solutions GmbH. THM recycling solutions GmbH extend their product portfolio for the recycling industry with a new universal-shredder RSP2000. The one step size reduction solution is fitted with a new developed sequential feed pusher, which ensures a continuous, energy efficient and none stop material throughput. The very massive and stable build RSP2000 weights 30 tons and is able to perform under the hardest condition in the recycling environment. The RSP2000 shreds post-consumer waste as well as industrial waste in one step and can substitute two step size reduction systems. A technical novelty is the new developed feed pusher of the RSP2000 shredder. Feed pushers are usually built in one piece. The new RSP2000 shredder does use several feed pushers. Each pusher can be can be individually actuated and set according to the specific type of material to be shredded. Because…
