Recycling refrigerators in one step

This company is supplying a plant to recycle refrigerators for Enva Northern Ireland Ltd. for its site in Toomebridge. When it starts up this year, the plant will process 70 refrigerators per hour. The heart of the plant is this company’s ADuro QZ shredder (photo), which does not use any cutting tools. Instead, it gently and quickly breaks up the input material by using the effects of impact forces. It is a breakthrough technology because it makes valuable waste material quickly accessible without potentially harmful substances emanating from individual parts — all at low operating costs, the company says. — Andritz AG, Graz, Austria
