Midlands-based WEEE Asset Management Company BR Environmental Services have purchased an MRT disc cutting Cathode Ray Tube Recycling machine, now installed in their WEEE operation in Leicester. Due to an increase in the volume of redundant TV sets and computer monitors, they needed a system to recycle the CRT's and produce materials for further processing.

The machinery is equipped with a vision system to detect the different size of tubes and automatically select the correct cutting position. The glass is separated using diamond cutting technology, and can cut CRTs between 14-32 inches at a capacity of up to 40 pcs/hr (MRT has another model that processes 80 pcs/hr).

When the separation is complete, the glass is conveyed to the vacuum cleaning station where the shadow mask and prosperous powder are removed. It is also supplied with a ventilation system that controls and collects dust produced during the process.

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.
