PCB disposal methods

PCB, printed circuit board, is a kind of electronic waste, but it contains a lot of metal and resin fibers. Copper in particular is very high. Therefore, we can dispose of the PCB to extract metal. It is necessary to find the right PCB disposal methods.

Printed circuit boards

Statistics reported by the united nations environment program show that a ton of waste circuit boards contain about 272 kg of plastic,130 kg of copper, 0.45 kg of gold,41 kg of iron, and small amount of tin, nickel, and antimony. Recycling of metals from discarded circuit boards is prevalent in both developed and developing countries. Although the waste circuit boards can be directly sold to the factory, the money you can get is much less than recycling waste circuit boards to pure metals, so if there are enough raw materials, it is suggested to recycle by yourself.

The composition of printed circuit board

Generally speaking, many companies use a combination of physical and chemical methods to recover metal from old circuit boards. For example, gravity separation technology, fire smelting technology, incineration smelting technology, ect. These traditional methods of separating metal and resin fiber in waste circuit boards have two main limitations, one is low separation efficiency, the other is complex, high requirements for production equipment, resulting in high separation cost.

Therefore, it is recommended to use green and environment-friendly separation technology to disposal the metal and resin fiber. PCB recycling machine is the best choice. It is simple to operate, just one person is enough.

PCB recycling machine

Firstly, remove electronic components from printed circuit boards that are dangerous and still useful, then the rest is mechanically broken, so that the components are fully dissociated and uniformly distributed. After air separation and electrostatic separation, the metal can be recovered efficiently, and the resource material can be recovered and reused. The purity of recycled metal products can reach over 90%, higher than the other methods. All kinds of metals can be recycled ,bring huge economic benefits. And this kind of environment-friendly and efficient equipment is favored by customers at home and abroad. You can contact us at any time when you need a such PCB disposal machine.
