As global volumes of end-of-life refrigerators and air conditioners surge, e-waste recyclers face growing pressure to recover ozone-depleting refrigerants safely, efficiently, and in compliance with environmental regulations. For a Fuzhou-based waste recycling firm specializing in dismantling household appliances, this challenge led to a partnership with ChunMu — and the deployment of our CM580 Series Refrigerant Recovery Machine.

The client processes over 500 tons of scrapped refrigerators and air conditioners monthly, but its legacy refrigerant recovery setup struggled to keep pace with demand. Key pain points included:

• Slow Throughput: Single-stage compression technology limited recovery speeds, creating bottlenecks in their dismantling line.
• Contamination Risks: Inadequate oil and impurity removal left recovered refrigerant unfit for reuse, increasing reliance on virgin materials.
• Compliance Gaps: Inconsistent vacuum performance risked residual refrigerant emissions, violating local ozone protection regulations.
• Labor Intensity: Manual monitoring and frequent equipment adjustments diverted staff from higher-value tasks.

With China’s “Dual Carbon” goals driving stricter e-waste standards, the client needed a solution that could scale with their operations while meeting sustainability targets.

The ChunMu CM580 Series Refrigerant Recovery Machine was engineered to address these exact challenges, with features designed exclusively for waste recycling factories:

• 3-Stage Compression Technology: Delivers 80–200kg/h recovery speeds, cutting processing time by 40% and eliminating line bottlenecks.
• Automatic Oil & Impurity Removal: Integrated separation systems ensure recovered refrigerant meets reuse purity standards, reducing waste and material costs.
• Multi-Station Efficiency: Supports 8–25 simultaneous recovery stations, scaling with the client’s daily dismantling targets.
• Deep Vacuum Performance: -0.095MPa suction pressure ensures zero residual refrigerant, eliminating ozone-depletion risks and ensuring regulatory compliance.
• Multi-Refrigerant Compatibility: Handles R410A, R22, R134a, and more, matching the diverse refrigerant streams from old appliances.

Since deploying the CM580 Series Refrigerant Recovery Machine, the Fuzhou recycler has achieved measurable improvements:

• Faster Production: Reduced per-appliance recovery time from 12 minutes to 7 minutes, enabling 20% more units to be processed daily.
• Lower Costs: Reusable, contamination-free refrigerant has cut new material expenses by 25%, while automated workflows reduced labor overhead by 15%.
• Regulatory Confidence: The CM580’s consistent performance ensures full compliance with China’s ozone protection regulations, avoiding fines and reputational risk.
• Circular Economy Impact: By recovering 95% of refrigerant from scrapped appliances, the client has diverted 12 tons of ozone-depleting substances from landfills annually.

As e-waste volumes continue to grow, the CM580 Series positions Fuzhou’s recycling firm to lead in sustainable dismantling — a goal ChunMu is proud to support.
