WEEE recycling plant LCD-S

for LCD displays

Looking at several factors, LCD-S RECYCLING has been designed in order to meet LCD and LED technology based monitors recycling requirements. We placed operators’ health first. The entire system has been studied not to endanger them while removing backlighting neon tubes. After carefully assessed the product and its derivatives, we opted for a manual disassembly line in order to be able to recover all the circuit boards, separate plastic and metal during the disassembly. Considering the risk of neon tubes breakup during handling, a manual procedure can avoid dangerous mercuric oxide leakages. Basic line includes six pneumatic and various tool equipped disassembly workstations, one-neon-tube extraction machine and one flat processing machine, which allows the following indium recovery. To ensure operators and working environment’s safety, an extraction system with HEPA filter (insideextraction cabin of neon tubes) and an extraction sleeves system (in the flat treatment zone) are provided along with the line. Thanks to this system, more than 90% of television or LCD/LED monitor can be recycled and the separated products can be soldwithout further manufacturing operations. Disassembly line plays an important role in determining hourly production capacity, while machines can reach more than 60 pieces per hour. Measures vary according to client customization preferences. Installed power (including extraction systems) is 22 kW.
