The growing generation of construction and demolition (C&D) waste poses significant environmental challenges. Effective recycling solutions are essential to reduce landfill dependency and promote a circular economy. Modern C&D WASTE RECYCLING SOLUTION combines advanced sorting, crushing, and separation technologies to convert mixed debris into reusable materials.
Key Recycling Process of C&D Waste Recycling Solution
1. Pre-sorting and Feeding: Raw waste (concrete, bricks, wood, metals, plastics) is mechanically pre-sorted to remove hazardous materials, then transported to the next stage by a feeding conveyor.
2. Primary Crushing: A jaw crusher or impact crusher crush large concrete and masonry into smaller pieces.
3. Iron Removal: Magnetic separators extract ferrous metals (rebar, nails) for recycling.
4. Secondary Screening: A trommel or vibrating screen classifies materials by size. Fine particles (soil, sand) are separated for use as backfill or landscaping material.
5. Lightweight Separation: Horizontal air separating plant or wind sifters remove lightweight contaminants (plastics, wood).
6. Secondary Crushing: Remaining concrete/brick undergoes further crushing to produce high-purity recycled aggregates.
7. Final Sorting: Optical or AI-powered sorters enhance material purity by identifying and separating plastic or wooden residues.
Core Equipment
- Crushers: Jaw crushers (coarse crushing) and impact crushers (fine crushing) ensure material size reduction.
- Magnetic Separators: Overband or drum magnets recover ferrous metals.
- Screening Systems: Trommel screens and vibrating screens enable efficient size classification.
- Air Classifiers: Separate lightweight materials via airflow.
- Intelligent Sorting Units: AI-based systems improve sorting accuracy for plastics and wood.
Products Applications
Recycled aggregates replace natural gravel in road bases or concrete production. Metals are melted for reuse, while wood and plastics can be processed into fuel or raw materials. This closed-loop system reduces carbon emissions by up to 60% compared to traditional disposal methods.
By integrating intelligent technologies and modular designs, C&D waste recycling solution not only addresses environmental concerns but also unlocks economic value, paving the way for sustainable urban development.
