A bench top universal wire recycling system adapted to remove insulation from electrical wires in order to more efficiently recycle the wire is achieved by a lightweight bench top universal wire recycling system, a copper cut fixture is mounted in a housing which supports a wedge blank system. The wedge blank system includes a preset stop block with a modified spring plunger. A custom wedge blank permits large wires or very small wires to have insulation removed or stripped therefrom. The housing includes a blade block system, which allows for micro-adjustments in the wire stripping procedure. The blade in the blade block system has minimal or no contact with the metal of the wire, and efficient contact with the insulation to be removed from the wire.

Systems and associated methods for recycling and performing other processes with consumer electronic devices are described herein. In various embodiments, the present technology includes systems and methods for identifying and evaluating an electronic device to facilitate processing (e.g., purchasing) the device. In some embodiments, the present technology includes a self-service evaluation apparatus and a cashier terminal that identifies and evaluates a device and that facilitates purchase and recycling of the device. Various other aspects of the present technology are described herein.

An apparatus for cable stripping and preparation. The apparatus includes a first drive mechanism and a second drive mechanism which is spaced from and in line with the first drive mechanism. Blade control arms with insulation cutting blades are movably mounted relative to the first drive mechanism and the second drive mechanism. The first drive mechanism moves the insulation cutting blades from a first position to a second position. The second drive mechanism rotates the insulation cutting blades when the insulation cutting blades are in the second position.

The invention discloses a method for co-processing cracking slag and smelting soot of the waste circuit board, belongs to the field of comprehensive recycling of valuable elements from typical soot of waste circuit boards, and particularly relates to a method for co-processing cracking slag and smelting soot of the waste circuit board for debromination and comprehensive recovery of copper and zinc. The method mainly comprises the following steps of: crushing and sorting, mixture roasting, reinforced leaching, replacement and silver precipitation, sulfuration and copper precipitation, and evaporation crystallization. Compared with a traditional recycling technology, the purpose that two kinds of solid waste are treated in a coupling mode through one recycling technology is achieved. Through mixed sulfuric acid roasting, the requirement of bromide synergistic removal of the waste circuit board cracking slag and smelting soot is met, and the purpose of selective conversion of copper and zinc is achieved.

A solar panel disassembling apparatus for disassembling a solar panel including a glass plate and a stacked film, includes a supporting plate of which is in contact with the glass plate, a moving scraper module including a first body moving in parallel with the supporting plate, a first elevator moving vertically, and a blade connected to the first elevator and changing in height and scraping the stacked film using the blade, and a moving pressing module including a second body moving in parallel with the supporting plate, a second elevator vertically, and a pressing unit connected to the second elevator and changing in height. The moving pressing module is disposed forward in the forward movement direction of the moving scraper module and presses and aligns the stacked film using the pressing unit ahead of the moving scraper module.
