Project Description

GAP Ice Ltd operates an end-of-life refrigerator recycling plant engineered and commissioned by URT. The facility is designed for the treatment of household and commercial cooling devices under continuous industrial operating conditions.

The plant is configured for a processing capacity of up to 4 tonnes per hour. The process is based on VHC + VFC recovery recycling. Blowing agents are recovered via activated carbon adsorption. Inertisation in shredding and PUR-matrix degassing ensures controlled and safe gas handling during processing.

The plant was implemented as a brownfield solution within an existing building structure. The layout and equipment positioning were specifically adapted to the structural conditions of the site.
