What are the costs associated with PCB recycling machine and is it cost-effective?

As electronic waste continues to be a growing concern, PCB recycling machine has become a popular solution for reducing e waste and recovering valuable materials. However, before investing in a PCB recycling machine, it is important to understand the costs associated with it and whether it is cost-effective.

What are the costs associated with PCB recycling machine?

1. Purchasing cost

The first cost associated with PCB recycling machine is purchasing cost, which will depend on the processing capacity, function, as well as the quality of machine. Generally, a machine with larger processing capacity, more functions and better quality will cost more than that with smaller processing capacity, fewer functions and poorer quality. Take the processing capacity for example, Henan Doing's PCB recycling machine has the processing capacity vary from 100kg/h to 2000kg/h. The price of 2000kg/h PCB recycling machine is apparently higher than a 100kg/h PCB recycling machine.

2. Energy cost

PCB recycling machine requires energy to operate, which will result in energy costs. The amount of energy required will depend on the power consumption of PCB recycling machine, as well as the frequency of use. If the PCB recycling machine you buy consumes a lot of power and is used frequently, it will consume more energy than ordinary PCB recycling machine.

3. Labor cost

PCB recycling machine requires trained workers to operate and maintain it. The labor cost is also one of the costs associated with PCB recycling machine. The cost of labor will depend on the number of workers required. If you want to reduce the labor cost, you can buy one PCB recycling machine with high degree of automation. Henan Doing's PCB recycling machine is equipped with PLC control system, which has high degree of automation, only needs one or two worker to operate easily.

4. Maintenance and repairs cost

Like any piece of machinery, PCB recycling machine requires regular maintenance and occasional repairs. The cost of maintenance and repairs will depend on the complexity of the machine and the frequency of use. Of course, you can also buy high-quality machine, which can be used for a long time and doesn't require frequent maintenance, it can help you reduce maintenance and repair costs for you.

Besides the above cost, the brand of manufacturer, transportation and installation are also the costs associated with PCB recycling machine. When purchasing PCB recycling machine, you need to comprehensively consider these factors and choose machine that best suits your needs.

Is PCB recycling machine cost-effective?

Whether or not PCB recycling machine is cost-effective, it depends on a variety of factors, like volume of waste PCBs, volume of final products, and the value of the final products. One of the most important factors is the value of final products, which mainly refers to the precious metals. If the value of precious metals is higher than the machine cost, well, PCB recycling machine is cost-effective.

Henan Doing's PCB recycling machine adopts two separation with air separation and electrostatic separation, which can separate precious metals with the separating rate of 99%. Besides, the dry type physical separation method used no fire, water, or chemical solution, which won't damage the quality of precious metals. The precious metals processed by Henan Doing's PCB recycling machine usually has high purity and good quality, which can be sold at a high price in the metal trading market.
