The Hamos ERP recycling system is designed for economic recycling of WEEE scrap (Waste Electric and Electronic Equipment). The materials are processed into highly concentrated metallic and non-metallic fractions. The ERP system will give you a maximum recovery of marketable metal concentrates at lowest recycling cost.

Details

The Hamos ERP recycling plant is specifically designed for the low cost recycling of approx. 2,000 kg/hr up to 4,000 kg/hr of heavy WEEE scrap and 1,000 … 2,000 kg/hr of light WEEE scrap into clean metallic and non-metallic fractions.

With Hamos ERP I non-disassembled electric items are shredded by a special heavy duty crusher. Coarse ferrous and non-ferrous parts are taken out automatically. Additional hand-picking stations allow to sort out additional valuable fractions like motors, transformers, stainless steel parts etc.

The Hamos ERP II is designed to process “light” electric and electronic materials and shredder residues from ERP I or similar sources. A heavy duty hammer-mill grinds the material to achieve separation of inert materials and metals. In addition wires and other interlocking materials are conglobated for better separation. The ground material is subsequently screened and de-dusted. From this fraction the valuable metal fraction is separated, using electrostatic and gravimetric separation technologies.

Advantages of the ERP System:

  • High recovery rate of metals (including precious metals)
  • Clean metallic concentrates can be sold easily
  • Recovery of steel, copper and aluminum
  • Clean non-metallic fractions
  • Heavy duty system, easy to operate
  • Economic solution with low recycling cost
  • Dry recycling process, no environmental hazards
  • Reduced material size saves shipping cost
  • Reduction of the scrap quantity to be dumped
  • Certified destruction of WEEE production waste
  • Special designed ERP systems for higher capacities are also available

The CDP “Polymer to Diesel” plant transforms mixed plastic or other materials containing hydrocarbons directly into diesel oil, using a special catalyst made of “nanoparticles”. This patented process “imitates” how petroleum is naturally produced. The catalyst “cracks” the long molecular chains of the hydrocarbons and shortens them in a specific way. This process is called “de-polymerization”. No dioxin, furan or other toxic products are produced, as the working temperature inside the reactor is only 300 to 350 °C. During the “Polymer to Diesel” process up to 90% of the net calorific value of the mixed polymers is retained by the high grade diesel oil.

How it works

In the initial process, mixed plastic, shredder-light fractions and other products containing hydrocarbons are freed of undesirable substances like metals, inert fillers, etc. Next the product is dried, extruded if necessary and pulverised after the addition of embrittling agents. The powder is then fed into the reactor of the CDP “Polymer to Diesel” plant and heated. The special nanocatalyst is added as soon as the material has reached the appropriate temperature. The catalyst and polymers quickly react, due to the large surface area of the pulverized material used and the polymer chains are cracked. The main product of this reaction is always diesel, because the reaction temperature of 300 to 350 °C is higher than the boiling point of diesel so that the original diesel is vaporized. Toxic products and inert fillers from the plastic and other products that have not been transformed into diesel, form a concentrate with the catalyst and are extracted from the reactor.
