Small electrical appliances
The shock wave technology enables a highly selective separation of electrical or electronic devices at their mechanical weak points, thus enabling selective disassembly into individual components. Disassembling complex assemblies creates new recycling options for the separated materials and detached electronic parts.
This allows electronic equipment to be almost perfectly separated into their main components, such as frame parts, printed circuit boards, batteries and other plastic or metal pieces.
• Targeted exposure of individual components such as batteries, circuit boards, etc.
• Removal of harmful substances by separating the battery
• Selective separation into individual components enables separation into precious metal-rich and precious metal-free fractions (formation of concentrates)
• Freely scalable system concept through to customised complete systems

High-purity fragmentation
The low-contamination shockwave process is ideal for processing high-purity materials. Due to the non-contact fragmentation, there is only a minimal entry of metallic foreign elements (<1 ppm).
Electroplated Plastics
ImpulsTec develops a innovative recycling systems for galvanized plastics. The separation of the coating from the plastic with a purity of >99.8% enables the direct reuse of the plastic and a marketable metal fraction.
Glass-polymer composites
One possible application of the shock wave process is the recycling of solar modules, where the high-quality front glass can be recovered in compliance with high purity requirements in addition to exposing the semiconductor material.
