The journey of recycling old refrigerators: the technology and temperature of the green recycling line

#Industry ·2026-04-27

When an old refrigerator reaches the end of its life, its journey doesn't end there. On the modern recycling line for used refrigerators, a transformation that combines technology and environmental protection is taking placeThe fully automatic disassembly system made its debut first: the mechanical arm accurately separated the compressor, glass partitions, plastic parts, and metal panels, with a sorting accuracy of up to 99.7%Next, the key step of the environmental protection treatment device is initiated: the refrigerant is safely extracted using negative pressure collection technology to prevent the leakage of greenhouse gases such as Freon; the polyurethane foam is crushed at low temperature to achieve the recycling and reuse of the foaming agentMore than 95% of the materials in each refrigerator are reused: copper and aluminum metals return to the manufacturing assembly line, ABS plastics are modified to become raw materials for municipal pipes, and even broken glass is transformed into building insulation materialsThroughout the entire process, the Internet of Things traceability system is used, and the flow of each component is recorded in real time, establishing a transparent circular economy chain of "recycling - disassembling - regenerating". What we've created is not just a processing line, but also a system for mining urban resourcesWith a disposal capacity of 100,000 units per year, it is equivalent to reducing 36,000 tons of carbon emissions and saving 27,000 tons of iron ore miningWhen green technology and environmental responsibility converge on the conveyor belt, old refrigerators will eventually embark on a new life cycle
