As global regulations tighten on refrigerant emissions and waste recycling, large-scale end-of-life appliance (EOL) dismantling facilities face growing pressure to recover refrigerants efficiently, safely, and in compliance with environmental standards. Traditional recovery methods often struggle with high-volume workflows, leading to slow processing times, residual refrigerant left in units, and increased operational costs.

A large-scale waste recycling factory in China, handling thousands of scrap refrigerators and air conditioners daily, selected the ChunMu CM580 Series Refrigerant Recovery Machine to streamline its refrigerant recovery process. The client required a solution that could keep up with high-volume dismantling lines while ensuring complete, contamination-free recovery of refrigerants like R410A, R22, and R134A.

The CM580 Series was purpose-built for EOL appliance recycling, delivering the performance and reliability needed for continuous, heavy-duty use:

• High-volume recovery: Processes 80–200 units per hour, matching the factory’s fast dismantling pace
• 3-stage compression: 15–30HP compressor with 57m³/h air displacement for fast, efficient recovery
• Deep vacuum capability: -0.095 MPa suction pressure ensures zero residual refrigerant left in units
• Multi-station support: Standard 8 ports, expandable to 15–25 stations for parallel recovery
• Automatic purification: Built-in oil and impurity removal ensures clean, reusable recovered refrigerant
• Safety & control: Pressure detection tools and tank pressure monitoring prevent overfilling and leaks

Since deploying the CM580 Series, the client has achieved significant improvements in its recycling workflow:

• Faster processing times, eliminating bottlenecks on the dismantling line
• Complete refrigerant recovery, meeting strict environmental compliance requirements
• Reduced labor costs and improved operational efficiency with multi-station recovery
• High satisfaction with the machine’s stability, ease of use, and low maintenance needs

The CM580 Series has become a core part of the client’s operations, enabling them to meet both regulatory and productivity goals in one reliable solution.
