Product description

The refrigerator recycling plant safely processes end-of-life cooling appliances. The first stage extracts refrigerant and compressor oil before shredding. The cabinet is then shredded in a closed negative-pressure system that captures gases from polyurethane foam. Separators recover iron, aluminum, copper, plastic and polyurethane.
