Our recycle accessory machine mainly uses electrostatically separation. Electrostatic sorting is to use the difference in the electrical properties of materials in the high-voltage electric field to achieve the purpose of sorting. When the materials are brought to the high-voltage electric field by the corona electrode through the rotating drum, the materials are reused by various electric power, centrifugal force and gravity. Due to the different electrical properties of various materials, the different force states cause different trajectories when the materials fall, thereby separating the metal and non-metal mixtures.
The recycle accessory machine is a machine that separates conductive substances from non-conductive substances through high-voltage static electricity, and separates metals from non-metals in circuit boards. It is mainly used for the treatment of waste circuit boards, various medicine boards, aluminum-plastic panels, food packaging bags, aluminum-plastic pipes, copper foils and other metal-filled composite materials, electric fuels and metal-plated plastics.

Additionally, they can be used to separate metal ores, such as copper, lead, and zinc, from gangue minerals.
Recycling
These separators can also be used in the recycling industry to separate metals from non-metallic materials, such as plastics and glass. This application is particularly relevant in the recovery of precious metals, such as gold and silver, from electronic waste.
Environmental Remediation
Our electrostatic separators can be employed to remove heavy metals and other contaminants from soil and sediments, contributing to the remediation of polluted sites.
Understanding Electrostatic Separation in Recycle Accessory
Vertical electrostatic separation is a process that leverages the principles of electrostatics to separate materials based on their electrical conductivity. The process involves applying an electric field to a mixture of particles, which causes them to become charged. The charged particles are then subjected to an electrostatic force that separates them from the rest of the mixture. This force is proportional to the difference in electrical conductivity between the particles, allowing for effective separation of materials with varying levels of conductivity.
A typical vertical electrostatic separator consists of several key components that work together to achieve effective material separation.
These components include:
Feeding system
This component is responsible for delivering the material to be separated into the separator. It often includes a vibrating feeder or a conveyor belt to ensure a consistent and controlled flow of particles.
High voltage generator
The high voltage generator produces the electric field necessary for the separation process. It supplies the required voltage to the electrode system, which can range from several kilovolts to tens of kilovolts, depending on the specific application and materials being separated.
Electrode system
The electrode system consists of a series of vertically aligned electrodes that generate the electric field within the separator. This field induces charges on the particles, causing them to separate based on their electrical conductivity.
Discharge system
Once the particles have been separated, the discharge system collects and removes them from the separator. This may include a series of hoppers, chutes, or conveyor belts that transport the separated materials to their respective storage or processing areas.
Types of Electrostatic Separator in Recycle Accessory
There are different electrostatic types, and here, we will study each one of them in detail. Following are the three types of ESPs:
Plate Precipitator: This is the most basic precipitator type that consists of rows of thin vertical wires and stack of vertically arranged large flat metal plates that are placed at a distance of 1cm to 18cm apart. The air stream is passed horizontally through the vertical plates and then through the large stack of plates. In order to ionize the particles, a negative voltage is applied between the wire and the plate. These ionized particles are then diverted towards the grounded plates using electrostatic force. As the particles get collected on the collection plate, they are removed from the air stream.
Dry Electrostatic Precipitator: This precipitator is used to collect pollutants like ash or cement in a dry state. It consists of electrodes through which the ionized particles are made to flow through and a hopper through which the collected particles are extracted out. The dust particles are collected from a stream of air by hammering the electrodes.
Wet Electrostatic Precipitator: This precipitator is used to remove resin, oil, tar, paint that are wet in nature. It consists of collectors that are continuously sprayed with water making the collection of ionized particles from the sludge. They are more efficient than dry ESPs.
Tubular Precipitator: This precipitator is a single-stage unit consisting of tubes with high voltage electrodes that are arranged parallel to each other such that they are running on their axis. The arrangement of the tubes could either be circular or square or hexagonal honeycomb with gas either flowing upwards or downwards. The gas is made to pass through all the tubes. They find applications where sticky particles are to be removed.
Corona Electrostatic Separator: Electrostatic corona separators are mainly used for the separation of metals and non-metals. For example, they are used to separate copper wires and shredding from cable scraps, or separate electronic component scraps into metals and non-metals. This type of separator uses a high-voltage electrode to create a corona discharge, which ionizes the particles and causes them to move towards the opposite electrode.
Triboelectric Separator: A triboelectric separator is a type of electrical selection that uses tribo-charging to separate particles. It's made up of a belt conveyor, a vibrating feeder, and an electric field generator. The principle of this method is that two materials are rubbed together, and one material becomes positively charged while the other becomes negatively charged.
Cyclone Separator: Cyclone separators or simply cyclones are separation devices (dry scrubbers) that utilizes centrifugal force to separate metal particles from the gas stream. The gas stream moves through a cyclone, which causes the particles to move towards the walls and be separated from the gas stream.
Drum Electrostatic Separator: Electrostatic drum separators separate materials based on their electrical properties. They are commonly used in mineral processing and plastics separation. They can also be used in recycling, waste management, metal and mining. This separator uses a rotating drum that is electrically charged to separate metal particles. The particles are attracted to or repelled from the drum surface based on their charge and are collected in separate bins.
Working Process of Recycle Accessory Machine
Disassembly and Size Reduction
The disassembly of the board was carried out manually, using different types of tools, in which elements of greater volume and without interest such as liquid electrolytic capacitors and the central process unit were removed. It enabling an adequate feed to the shredding operation performed by means of a cutting mill with a rotor made up of three nonaligned blades, whose action fragments the material introduced. The size reduction is an important phase of mechanical processing because it allows the release of materials from printed circuit boards, enabling the optimization of metal recovery.
Granulometric Classification
Considering the heterogeneous composition of the PCB, in order to minimize errors, the fragments generated should be classified granulometrically, facilitating the characterization of materials through chemical analysis, and enabling the identification of fractions of concentrated metals and nonmetals. The fragmented material was classified by means of a sieve shaker and a series of standard sieves. The samples were weighed in order to calculate the retained mass in each granulometric range. After these steps, which aimed to prepare the material for separation tests, the enrichment operations began.
Magnetic Separation
In magnetic separation, the materials can be classified according to their responses to the magnetic field. There are ferromagnetic materials, which are strongly attracted by the magnetic field; paramagnetic materials, which are weakly attracted; and diamagnetic materials, which are repulsed.
Gravity Separation
Separation by gravity allows the classification of materials based on their different densities. In these processes, particles are separated thanks to different sedimentation velocities when falling into a fluid (air, water). This speed will simultaneously depend on its density and size. In the present work, the separation was performed by a wet shaking table. The adjustable parameters of the device included its inclination, the frequency of movement, the water flow, and the feed speed.
Electrostatic Separation
The corona electrostatic separation was carried out the separator. This process is based on the electrical conductivity of some elements. In this way, a fraction rich in conductive metals, such as copper, and another one consisting of polymeric and ceramic materials were obtained. After some tests, it was established to perform two passages. After that, a second passage, with the same parameters, was performed only to the conductive product obtained from the first passage.
Visual Characterization
After the mechanical treatments, an inspection of the quality of all products was performed by means of a visual analysis using the optical macroscope.
Chemical Characterization
On the metal-concentrated products, a chemical analysis using the inductively coupled plasma–optical emission spectrometry instrument was carried out. The chemical analysis was divided into microwave digestion and optical spectroscopy. For each product, two samples were performed.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Electrostatic Separation
Advantages
One of the main advantages of electrostatic separation is that it can separate minerals that have similar physical characteristics, such as size, shape, density, or color, but different electrical properties. This makes it useful for separating metals and minerals that are difficult to distinguish by other methods, such as zircon, rutile, ilmenite, monazite, or cassiterite. Another advantage of electrostatic separation is that it can process dry materials, which reduces the water consumption and environmental impact of the operation. Moreover, electrostatic separation can be applied to a wide range of particle sizes, from microns to millimeters, and can handle high capacities and throughputs.
It can be used on material that is magnetic or para-magnetic. Common applications includes iron ore, magnetite, reo's. It can be operated as a dry or in slurry.
Disadvantages
One of the main disadvantages of electrostatic separation is that it requires a high degree of control and calibration of the electric field and the feed characteristics. Any variation in the voltage, humidity, temperature, or composition of the feed can affect the separation performance and quality. Therefore, electrostatic separation requires constant monitoring and adjustment to ensure optimal results. Another disadvantage of electrostatic separation is that it can be affected by the presence of conductive or magnetic materials in the feed, which can interfere with the electric field or the particle charging. In addition, electrostatic separation can generate sparks or fire hazards due to the high voltage and the dry conditions.
Recyclable Materials Found in Computers
What is in a PC that makes it so valuable? That old equipment may not seem valuable, but its makeup is interesting. For example, an average PC will be made up of plastic, ferrous metals, and non-ferrous metals. About 12 percent of the components are electronic boards, while 15 percent are made of glass. More so, each computer contains about 2 kilograms of lead as well as other materials. That mixture of materials makes it difficult to recycle most computers easily.
The process allows for almost everything within a computer to be recycled. Nearly all components can be recycled instead of wasted. The CMOS battery works to store information on the computer. This coin-cell alkaline battery is one of the most toxic components in your old computer for the environment. The motherboards and cards within the computer work as the brain of the system. Most will have materials such as copper, silver, and gold in them. CPUs are also filled with silicon and gold, but separating these two materials is difficult. The hard drive stores your data in a rigid magnetic disk. This disk is sealed with an aluminum housing. Cables can be recycled, while copper and other metals can be recovered from the power supply.
The optical drive (if found in the computer) contains a high level of metals, including steel, copper, and aluminum. Even the case itself is valuable. It is made of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, a type of plastic. It contains brominated flame retardants, which means it needs to be processed carefully.
Imagine every component in your computer is usable in another form. Only about two percent of the entire computer – all components of it – cannot be recycled. Outside of this, though, it is possible to use many of those components for other tasks.
Almost any small appliance with a charging station or a power cord is recyclable. That’s because they contain recyclable metal including copper, steel, and aluminum. Common small appliances you can recycle include:
● Humidifiers
● Irons
● Coffeemakers
● Electric kettles
● Toasters and toaster ovens
● Mixers, Food processors and Blenders
● Slow cookers (crockpots)
● Fans
● Lamps and lighting
● Clocks and alarm clocks
● Hair dryers and other personal care items like curling irons, clippers, and electric toothbrushes
● Microwaves
If your appliance isn’t on this list, a good rule of thumb is that if it takes batteries or uses power, it’s likely recyclable. Call your local recycling center if you’re not sure. You really don’t need to do much to prepare your coffeemaker, toaster oven, or other small appliance for recycling. If you want to help out the recycling service, though, there are some small steps you can take to ease the process. Before you send out your appliance for recycling, here are a few things you can do:
● Unplug your small appliance days before recycling. Doing this will help cool down all the parts, especially the metal parts that will be disassembled and recycled.
● Tie up the power cords of heavier appliances like bread makers and microwave ovens with twist ties or use the power cords. Then, tape the cords into the units so that they won’t cause any accidental trips.
● If a small appliance has removable parts not made of metal, ask your recycling provider whether they will be able to recycle. Usually, removable parts made with tempered glass or plastic are not entirely recyclable. A scrap recycler might want your coffeemaker but not the glass carafe, for instance.
● If your appliance was used for food, give it a final wash and rinse.
Proper maintenance and safety measures are essential for the smooth operation of a cross-belt electrostatic separator. Regular inspection and maintenance can help prevent equipment failure and extend the service life of the separator. Some key maintenance aspects include:
- Periodic Cleaning: It is important to clean the electrodes, conveyor belt, and splitter to prevent the buildup of material, which can affect the separation efficiency.
- Inspection of Components: Regular inspection of the high-voltage power supply, electrodes, and conveyor belt is crucial to identify any wear and tear or damage that may require repair or replacement.
- Lubrication: Proper lubrication of moving parts, such as the conveyor belt rollers, is necessary to minimize friction and prolong their lifespan.
In addition to maintenance, safety is a top priority when operating a cross-belt electrostatic separator. Operators must be trained to handle the equipment safely and should adhere to the following safety measures:
- High-voltage safety: Always turn off the high-voltage power supply and discharge the electrodes before performing maintenance or cleaning tasks.
- Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Operators should wear appropriate PPE, including safety glasses, gloves, and hearing protection, to minimize the risk of injury.
- Proper Grounding: Ensure that the separator and all related equipment are properly grounded to avoid electrical hazards.
So what happens after discarded metal is dropped into a recycling bin or delivered to scrap yards? A multi-step process takes place to reclaim the valuable metal. After the first step, which is collection, the material must be sorted. Aluminum, copper, steel, brass, iron and other metals collected at a recycling center must be separated using magnates and other technology. The separated material is then processed, usually in large industrial shredders. The processed material is then melted and/or purified before being solidified in sheets or bars for transport.
After this final step in the process, the recycled metal is ready to be used in products in the following wide variety of industries:
Construction
Recycled metal is used extensively by both the commercial and residential construction industries. It is commonly used in beams, roofing, ductwork, plumbing, and windows, among other things.
Transportation
A high concentration of recycled metal is used in automobiles, aircraft, shipbuilding, train tracks, and bridges.
Manufacturing and Industrial
New consumer items like appliances, equipment and tools use a significant amount of recycled metal. Industrial uses include industrial and shipping containers.
Packaging
Food and beverage cans are perhaps the most widely recognized use of recycled scrap metals. This packaging is commonly fabricated from aluminum, which is the metal that benefits from the greatest recycling energy savings. Producing cans from recycled aluminum saves 95 percent of the energy that would be otherwise needed for using non-recycled material. Aluminum can go from your curbside recycling bin back to a grocery store shelf in about sixty days!
Home Furnishings
Indoor and outdoor furniture like tables, lamps and chairs; lighting fixtures, decorative metalwork like banisters, and office supplies like file cabinets are all manufactured from recycled scrap metal.
