Sorting electrical waste efficiently and precisely

Every year, consumers and companies around the world scrap millions of tons of electrical and electronic equipment, and the trend is rising fast. 

In order to recover secondary raw materials and properly dispose of harmful substances, electrical waste needs to be mechanically sorted. We create the systems necessary for this task.

Sesotec specializes in industrial material-sorting systems and has more than 40 years of experience in the recycling industry. We provide a complete range of leading technology that includes sorting systems that reliably differentiate between materials using various types of sensor technology and effectively separate material flows.

Why is electrical waste recycled?

The amount of e-waste generated at home and in business continues to grow. However, the old equipment contains various materials, including valuable secondary raw materials, such as precious metals, steels, copper and certain plastics. Recycling these materials makes sense from both an economic and an environmental perspective. Harmful substances are also removed from electrical waste during the separation and sorting process and then properly disposed of. As a result, e-waste recycling helps actively protect the environment. In many cases, it is also required by law, for example under Directive 2012/19/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE).

 

What are the challenges?

To profitably recycle electrical and electronic waste and introduce valuable materials back into the production cycle, such waste must first be separated into ultra-pure material fractions. However, sorting certain materials can place complex demands on the sorting system. To meet these demands, we can equip our sorting machines with various sensors and separate material flows by color, shape, type of material and electrical conductivity.

What products are recycled?

  • Small electrical appliances (e.g. hairdryers, coffee makers, radios, etc.)
  • Refrigerators and freezers
  • Screens and monitors
  • PCs, notebooks, printers
  • Tablets and mobile phones
  • Other

 

What materials can be separated?

  • Printed circuit boards
  • Cables and wires
  • Copper
  • Stainless steels
  • Aluminum
  • Engineering plastics
  • Other

 

What are the advantages of our systems?

We never stop developing the separation and sorting processes. As a result, we provide you with state-of-the-art systems. Our machines are both modular and flexible. Thanks to the possibility of combining various sensors, one single sorting system can often handle a variety of sorting tasks. However, we not only offer individual sorting systems, but also create complete customer-specific solutions with multiple separation stages. By partnering with equipment engineering specialists, we can provide entire installations of even greater complexity with shredding technology. Doing so results in integrated systems with central facility control that are perfectly tailored to your needs.

Are you facing a challenge related to e-waste recycling? Then contact us! We would be happy to advise you personally and help you find the best solution.

White Paper

The circular economy: Challenges and opportunities for Recyclers and plastics processors

The plastics industry is under pressure. Between climate change, excessive consumption of finite resources, and vast amounts of plastic waste in the world’s oceans, plastics are coming to be seen in a different light by politicians, businesses, and consumers alike. Read in our e-book about the most important factors of a functioning circular economy, especially which challenges and opportunities exist for recyclers and plastics processors.

RE-Glass helps Hungary‘s glass recycling industry get fit for the future

Foreign materials posed the biggest challenge to the new plant. Contaminants such as ceramics, stones, porcelain (CSP), metals, paper, and plastics comprise as much as 15 to 20% of the total weight of all collected glass waste. To overcome this challenge, KRS supplied a sorting system that meets these requirements.

Mission PET – Circular economy needs material cleaning with state-of-the-art technologies

Mission PET sees the circular economy mission in the consistent implementation of PET recycling. The bandwidth for the use of recycled PET material is diverse. However, only high-purity rPET material also meets the requirements that correspond to those of virgin material. The demands placed on the recycling process for preparing the PET material are correspondingly high. Best decontamination and material cleaning of the PET starting material are the prerequisites for maximum purity of the end product.
