Equipment Overview

Overview of the Waste Refrigerator and WEEE Crushing, Separation and Recovery Equipment

The resource recycling and dismantling equipment for waste refrigerators is independently developed by Vary Tech. It adopts the combined process of "double-shaft shredding + vertical crushing" and multi-stage sorting technology to realize the full-category recycling of resources such as waste plastic, copper, aluminum, and iron from waste refrigerators.

In 2010, the equipment passed the scientific and technological achievement appraisal by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the People's Republic of China. The appraisal result stated the equipment "fills the domestic gap and reaches the international advanced level". The equipment has also won honors including "National Key New Product" and "China Patent Excellence Award".

Vary Tech adheres to the coordination of technological R&D and operation. In 2010, Vary Tech built the Miluo Industrial Operation Base. Up to now, the base has completed the dismantling of nearly 10 million household appliances. Meanwhile, the equipment has undergone 7 generations of iteration and update, achieving continuous optimization in production capacity, sorting efficiency, AI application, service life, safety, environmental protection, and other aspects.

Vary Tech has provided more than 150 sets of resource recycling and dismantling equipment for waste refrigerators to global customers, supporting the dismantling of 130 million waste household appliances worldwide. The equipment service network has covered India, Brazil, Spain, Turkey, Mauritius, and other countries and regions. It serves over 60 well-known global enterprises, including household appliance production and recycling responsibility enterprises (e.g., Haier, TCL, Midea, Robam Appliances) and circular industry giants (e.g., China Supply and Marketing Cooperatives, China Zihuan, CRE Environment, Chengfa Environment, Dongjiang Environmental Protection).

Equipment Composition

Key Components of the Integrated Waste Refrigerator & WEEE Crushing-Separation-Recovery System

Crushing Subsystem - Achieving Perfect Separation of Metal and Non-Metal

The shredding system specially designed for waste refrigerators with a height of ≤1.9 meters is equipped with a hydraulic feeding device to maximize recycling production efficiency.

The combined process of "double-shaft shredding + vertical crushing" enables materials to be quickly disassembled after shredding. In the vertical crushing chamber, through shearing, compression, and rolling, metal and non-metallic materials are cleverly completely separated, and the metal materials are made into uniform spheres. To meet different application needs, the material sorting rate and bulk density can be flexibly adjusted to achieve efficient and precise processing effects.

Sorting Subsystem - Ensuring High Purity of Various Recycled Resources

The strong magnetic material separation system efficiently separates steel from materials and controls the purity of steel materials.

The eddy current sorting system effectively separates non-ferrous metals such as copper and aluminum in materials.

The air separation system developed and designed for light materials of refrigerators can effectively separate plastic and sponge, improving the recycling rate of various materials.

Purification Subsystem - Ensuring Emission Compliance and Clean Production

The pulse bag dust removal system has unified and efficient dust collection capacity, comprehensively and thoroughly capturing or removing dust to ensure a clean and hygienic environment and emissions meeting national standards.

Safety Control Subsystem - Safeguarding Stable and Continuous Operation of Equipment

The core equipment adopts a unique (air volume) design and is equipped with comprehensive safety devices, including a spray nitrogen fire prevention system, to ensure safe production of the production line.

The automated control system accurately coordinates the linkage operation between various systems of the production line to maximize production capacity. It also has a forward-looking abnormality prediction function to improve the reliability and safety of the production line.

Typical case

Haier Group

In September 2021, Vary Tech won the bid for the automatic disassembly line project of waste refrigerators in Haier Laixi (under Haier Group). The Haier project adopts 2 sets of large-scale automatic disassembly lines for waste refrigerators. It innovatively applies intelligent automatic drilling and oil filtering in the industry and adds automatic copper-aluminum sorting devices. The project can process 100-120 units of 120L-220L waste refrigerators per hour, including large-scale waste refrigerators such as Casarte. The Haier project has operated stably for 4 years. It helps Haier Group fulfill the household appliance production and recycling target responsibility system, processing 2 million waste household appliances, producing 30,000 tons of recycled new materials, and achieving a carbon emission reduction capacity of about 17,000 tons annually.

TCL Technology

Since cooperating with TCL Technology in 2014, Vary Tech has achieved an efficiency leap in the resource treatment project of waste refrigerators for TCL. The hourly processing capacity has been increased from the initial 40-50 units to 70-80 units (2018), 120 units at the Guiyu base, and up to 140-160 units at the Tianjin base, with a cumulative efficiency increase of nearly 4 times.

The Guiyu base adopts 1 set of resource recycling and disassembly lines for waste refrigerators and 1 set of comprehensive disassembly lines for waste household appliances, meeting the disassembly needs of various waste electrical and electronic products including waste refrigerators, waste electric water heaters, and waste small household appliances, reducing carbon emissions by 32,500 tons per year.

The Tianjin base adopts 1 set of resource recycling and disassembly lines for waste refrigerators, which can process 140-160 units of 120L-220L waste refrigerators per hour and more than 70 units of 500L-600L waste refrigerators per hour.

BEM  Recycling

In 2011, BEM Recycling (Mauritius) initiated preliminary discussions with Vary Tech regarding waste recycling solutions.

 Following five years of technical exchanges and strategic alignment, both parties reached a formal cooperation agreement in early 2017, signing the contract for the Phase I Turnkey E-waste Processing Plant and Equipment.

Vary Tech delivered the complete equipment suite in May 2017, with installation, commissioning, and final acceptance successfully completed by September. With an annual processing capacity of 40,000 refrigerators and 12,000–15,000 tons of E-waste, this facility stands as the first-ever E-waste recycling project in Mauritius. It has earned high-level recognition and endorsement from the Mauritian government for its contribution to the local circular economy.
