The main activity of this laboratory is mechanical pre-treatment for end-of-life products, aimed at segregating the constituent target materials.
Different crushing and separation technologies exist in the laboratory which exploit the mechanical, electrical and magnetic properties of the materials to separate them and direct them to the appropriate recycling processes. In addition, a pneumatic conveying system allows for safe treatment, avoiding material dispersion.
The plant is used in research projects and for industrial demonstrations, aimed at defining innovative processes for the treatment of products with high added value.
