Small household appliances
Small household appliances include vacuum cleaners, kitchen appliances, hair clippers, irons, toasters, barbecues and hair dryers. Their heterogeneity requires the use of our coarse material handling machine RAPAX. When the feed material reaches the rated size, it falls. It is then subjected to the necessary compound disintegration by a rotor mill (RS type) and finely pre-processed into homogeneous fractions by a rotor impact mill (RPMV type). Rotary shears (VR type) and universal pulverizers (NGU type) can be used for the splitting.

Large household appliances
To accommodate an entire dishwasher, washing machine or cooker, you need a powerful machine: Due to its special knife geometry, our RAPAX is suitable for the initial shredding of extremely heavy or bulky materials. Subsequently, the rotor shredder (RS type) takes care of the breakdown of composite materials, laying the foundation for the sorted recycling of raw materials.

Cables and circuit boards
The coarse shredding with the rotary shear (VR type) reduces even thick cable bundles to a particle size of about 100 mm in length. The universal shredder (NGU type) continues the shredding to 10 – 20 mm. Compounds are also largely broken down at this stage. The rotor impact shredder (RPMX type) is ideal for the optional third shredding stage. Especially thin wires, such as telephone cables, are ground and shaped into balls.
Circuit boards consist of insulating materials such as plastic or cardboard.
The rotary shear (VR type) is a low-speed, high-torque twin-shaft shredder suitable for pre-shredding such electrical components.  For the second shredding stage, the universal shredder (NGU type) is the preferred machine: The high-speed single-shaft shredder cuts the material to the desired particle size. The rotor impact shredder (RPMX type) is suitable for further separation of compound materials.
