E-waste recycling (or electronics waste recycling) is the process of recovering valuable materials, for example, plastics, glass, copper, and iron, from obsolete devices to use in new products. This reduces the need for new production.
Most electronics contain harmful materials such as cadmium, beryllium, mercury, and lead. In the responsible e-waste recycling process, these unhealthy substances are safely removed for human health and the environment.
Classification of shredders
Electronic waste shredders are specially designed to process used electronic equipment and appliances. These machines efficiently crush, separate, and recycle a variety of materials in e-waste, such as metal, plastic, and glass. Here are some common types of e-waste shredders.
Single Shaft Shredder
Features: Single-shaft design, usually with a rotating blade shaft, equipped with fixed blades.
Scope of application: Suitable for smaller-scale electronic waste treatment, such as hard disks, circuit boards, mobile phones, etc.
Advantages: Simple structure, easy maintenance, suitable for treating relatively homogeneous waste.
Double Shaft Shredder
Features: Double-shaft design, equipped with two sets of rotating blades, which can rotate in reverse.
Scope of application: Suitable for larger-scale electronic waste treatment, such as household appliances, computers, televisions, etc.
Advantages: Strong processing capacity, good crushing effect, suitable for treating many different types of waste.
Four Shaft Shredder
Features: Four-shaft design, usually with a more complex rotating blade structure, which can achieve more detailed crushing.
Scope of application: Suitable for high-demand electronic waste treatment, such as precision instruments, circuit boards, etc.
Advantages: Small crushing particle size, good sorting effect, suitable for treating high value-added waste.
Crusher-Shredder Combo
Features: Combines crushing and shredding functions in one, usually equipped with a multi-stage shredding system.
Scope of application: Suitable for electronic waste that requires multi-step processing, such as TVs, computers, etc.
Advantages: Integrated design, high processing efficiency, and small footprint.
