Project Description

Konstandinidis operates an end-of-life refrigerator recycling plant engineered and commissioned by URT. The facility is designed for the treatment of household cooling devices and boilers 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 is applied in both the shredding stage and during PUR-matrix degassing to ensure controlled and safe gas handling.

A specific feature of this installation is the integration of a guillotine for boiler pre-cutting. This allows boilers subsequently processed to remove attached polyurethane foam.
