Waste televisions and computer monitors are now being recycled using technology provided by MMH.
The equipment is supplied by MRT System International, and built by leading German manufacturer and recycler of Cathode Ray Tubes "Vicur".
The tube is removed from the casing, split, and the hazardous phosphorus powder is extracted. The glass, metal and plastic is then ready to be recycled, generally into new TVs.
A hot wire plant is to be delivered to the UK in June. It is an affordable system with very low running costs and a modular design that makes it easy to increase capacity with additional cutting stations. It can be supplied either as an automatic or manual system.
MMH also supplies CRT Recycling Systems using disc cutting technology manufactured by MRT System for higher capacities which is being used by a number of WEEE recyclers in the U.K. and Europe.
