The India Circuit Board Dismantling and Crushing Separating Line is a compact yet high-efficiency PCB recycling project designed to process 100–200 kg/h of mixed electronic waste boards. Combining a fully automatic PCB Dismantling Machine with a stable Motherboard Crushing & Separating Line, the system enables the customer to achieve clean, precise, and profitable metal recovery with minimal labor input.

1. Project Background

The Indian customer specializes in recycling:

• Computer and laptop motherboards
• Mobile phone PCBs
• Small home appliance control boards
• Gold-plated and mixed electronic assemblies

Their goals included:

• Replace manual dismantling with mechanized, safer equipment
• Maintain high metal recovery purity despite small production scale
• Build a compact line suitable for limited workshop space
• Ensure clean, dust-free operation that meets local environmental standards

The 100–200 kg/h line perfectly fits small-to-medium recyclers needing stable performance and low operating cost.

2. On-Site Equipment Configuration

(1) PCB Dismantling Machine

This machine removes electronic components from PCBs automatically.

• Circulating hot-air heating for uniform solder melting
• Components drop off naturally without manual prying
• Suitable for all PCB sizes and thicknesses
• Equipped with a fume extraction and purification system

Recovered components (ICs, MLCCs, BGA, connectors, gold-plated parts) are collected for downstream processing.

(2) Motherboard Crushing & Separating Line
Primary Shredding

• Low-speed, high-torque shredder
• Efficiently handles dismantled boards and thicker computer PCBs

Fine Crushing

• Multi-stage crushing to reach 20–40 mesh particle size
• Wear-resistant blades for long-term stability

Airflow Gravity Separation

• Separates resin/fiber powder from heavier metal particles

Electrostatic Separator

• Recovers high-purity copper, aluminum, and mixed metal powder
• Final metal purity: ≥ 98%

The line ensures high separation accuracy while maintaining low noise and dust emissions.

3. On-Site Performance

Once installed and commissioned, the Indian project demonstrated:

• 100–200 kg/h stable processing capacity
• Excellent separation purity with minimal metal loss
• Clean, negative-pressure dust-controlled workshop
• Easy operation with simple daily maintenance
• Labor demand reduced from several workers to only 1–2 operators

The customer recognized significant improvements in efficiency, safety, and product quality.
