Why Whitegoods Shredder is Important for WEEE Management

 Pollution in the environment is a big problem that garbs the interest and attention of each individual in the world. It demands strong powerful action that really must be managed immediately and constantly. This can be done by integrating the government’s regulations and worldwide actions. If done right, not only we can reduce the waste, but also create profits from it.

Recycling is one of the feasible solutions for the situation of managing and disposing of waste. A few individuals are having awareness of re-using things. They are advised to gather their waste in separate bins for every single category such as for instance degradable and non-degradable. However, it becomes a problem for bulky objects like end-of-life home appliances and furniture. In this article, we focus on WEEE (waste electronic and electrical equipment) management.

Why Whitegoods Shredder is Important

There are plenty of electric appliances that are increasingly being used in households and in commercial places. White goods are hazardous items that people use in every household and office. They may contain non-environmentally-friendly refrigerant in them, and some may contain toxic yet valuable heavy metals like mercury and lead. For recycling these materials they have to be handled through white goods shredders and home appliances recycling equipment.

Home Appliance Shredder Application

Whitegoods:

  • Air conditioners
  • Refrigerators
  • Dishwashers
  • Dehumidifiers
  • Televisions
  • Computers
  • Washing machines

Hand-held appliance:

  • Vacuum Machines
  • Hair Dryers
  • Telephones
  • Hand drill
  • Kettle

Along the way of disposing of them, people face 3 types of problems.

  1. One is the removal of refrigerants like CFC, freon and HCFC contained in a heat exchanger. Refrigerant like CFC is a major contributor to ozone layer depletion.
  2. Valuable metals like copper and aluminum are unable to be recycled, which is a big loss to the recycling industry. These mismanaged metal can pollute underground water and soils.
  3. The other problem is their size. White goods are generally large in size. They cannot be taken directly to the landfills, or the transportation cost is high. Their sizes have to be reduced, resulting in taking less space in landfills.

Whitegoods Shredder solves this problem by breaking down the hazardous metals in the waste electronic products and by reducing their size into palm size. Whitegood shredders operate at low speed with high torque to break down the metals and make sure they are ready for recycling.

The other important equipment in waste management and recycling industries is the eddy current separator. It separates shredded metal by their composition. For example, the machine can sort out copper from aluminum.

The Composition of Plastic Waste – Latest Analysis Year 2020

Image
  What source of the industry creates most of the plastic waste? There is a huge increase in plastic consumption in our daily lives. Plastic waste can be divided into commercial and industrial wastes. Many of these plastic products are single-used. That is, they are thrown away after one-time usage. For example, disposable plastic packaging, food container, cup, tablecloth and hand gloves are the regular items. The Composition of Plastic Waste: Pre-use and Post-use Plastic Other types of plastic waste include pre-use and post-use plastic. Pre-use plastic is mainly rejected products that do not meet the criteria in terms of size, colour, hardness and other properties. This also includes the byproducts like flesh and sprue during the process of plastic product manufacturing (e.g. molding, blow molding, thermal forming). Post-use plastics include plastic bottles, pails, casing; rigid plastics such as pipes and moldings, plastic foams or expanded polystyrene; and flexible plastics such as

What is ocean plastic pollution?

  Where does the plastic pollution in the ocean come from? What is ocean plastic pollution? Marine pollution is a combination of solid waste and chemicals that originate from the land. With the help of rainwater and wind, the pollutant is driven into the ocean. 3% of the worldwide plastic waste goes to the ocean according to the study. As more than 80% of the global plastic waste is not recycled, it is not surprising that abundant waste is accumulating in the ocean. In 2010, this was about 8 million tonnes. Before we dive into the question of where does ocean plastic waste comes from, we need to know about mismanaged plastics in the globe. The definition of mismanaged plastics is plastic waste that does not properly collect and recycle, instead, it ends up in landfills and scrap yard and directly pours into the river, lake and ocean. The graph shows more than half of the mismanaged stems from East Asia and the Pacific. The rest of the regions account for 40%. North America scores the l

3 Differences between One and Two Shaft Shredder

Image
  When choosing an industrial shredder, the first question lots of the customers ask is what is the difference between single shaft shredder and double shaft shredder. One may not see the difference except their outlook, but they are very different in 3 points. In this article, we explain the differences between One shaft shredder and Two Shaft Shredder. Machine Structure Single Shaft Shredder is equipped with only one shaft welded with rotary blades. The rotor a hydraulic-actuated pusher arm. and a screen underneath the rotating shaft. Double Shaft Shredder is built with two shafts of blades, which we also call dual shearing shafts. Its rotor consists of multiple disks of blades. The 2 rotors counter-rorate. There is no hydraulic-driven pusher or screen on this machine. Single Shaft Shredder Rotor Application Single Shaft Shredder  is suitable to process thick and solid materials such as molding purgings, runners, sprues, plastic pallets, rubber rolls, wood lumbers, tree branches, bon
