Real E-waste PCB Recycling Line Is Running in Brazil
A waste printed circuit board (PCB) recycling production line at a client’s site in Brazil has commenced operations. Through equipment such as shredders, grinders, and air classification systems, the line mechanically separates metallic and non-metallic materials from waste PCBs, providing a stable supply of raw materials for subsequent resource recovery.
At the Brazilian client’s site, the complete PCB recycling plant is in operation.
As can be seen from the on-site layout, the production line employs a continuous processing structure, with the front end handling the feeding and crushing of waste printed circuit boards, followed by the grinding and sorting stages. The entire line is equipped with conveying systems, crushers, grinders, air classification equipment, and a dust collection system, ensuring a continuous flow of material between the different process stages.
Based on the equipment configuration of similar PCB recycling lines, the pre-crushed material typically requires further fine crushing to ensure that metals such as copper are thoroughly separated from non-metallic materials like resin and glass fibre, before being sorted using methods such as air classification or vibration.
Key Equipment Configuration: Crushing, Sorting and Dust Collection
PCB recycling is not merely a matter of ‘crushing’; the effectiveness of material separation and sorting directly impacts the purity of the final recovered product. Consequently, production lines typically combine coarse crushing, fine grinding, and sorting equipment.
A relatively comprehensive network of ductwork and dust extraction units can also be observed on site. For the fine dust generated during PCB processing, a centralised collection system helps to minimise dust dispersion and improve the working environment within the workshop.
Insights into PCB Resource Recovery from On-Site Operations
PCBs constitute a significant component of electronic waste, containing valuable metals such as copper. Brazil’s e-waste management system also requires the separate handling of certain types of electronic waste containing hazardous components; consequently, the equipment configuration for specific projects must be determined based on the composition of the raw materials, the scale of processing, and local environmental regulations.
This case study showcases a PCB recycling line in Brazil that has been installed and is currently in operation, suitable for the mechanical recycling of waste computer motherboards, electronic circuit boards, and similar PCB waste.
