In e-waste printed circuit board (PCB) recycling plants, state-of-the-art machinery and equipment play a vital role. The focus of attention for this equipment is centered on improving recycling efficiency, environmental protection and safety, material purity, and energy and cost efficiency.
Key components of advanced equipment include shredders and crushers. They break e-waste PCBs into smaller pieces through physical forces, thus facilitating subsequent processing. This process not only reduces the size of the material for subsequent processing but also makes it easier to separate the different components of the crushed material and improve recycling efficiency.

Separation and sorting equipment, such as magnetic separators, eddy current sorters, airflow sorters, and electrostatic sorters, are also important. These devices separate materials based on their physical properties (e.g., magnetism, density, electrical conductivity) to ensure that different materials can be recovered efficiently. Accurate separation helps to improve the quality and value of the recovered materials.
In addition, recovery and refining machinery and equipment are also an integral part of the process. Hydrometallurgical equipment, high-temperature smelting furnaces, and chemical processing units extract and purify valuable metals such as gold, silver, and copper. The refining process maximizes the reuse value of materials and reduces waste of resources while decreasing dependence on new ore mining.
The recovery of valuable metals and other materials can be increased through precise crushing, separation, and refining. Automation and efficient equipment reduce labor requirements and lower operating costs. At the same time, pollution during waste disposal is reduced and environmental regulations are met. The recovered materials are of high purity and market value, bringing better economic benefits to the recycling plant.
