Lightning Fast Recycling of Discarded Refrigerators By Robot
Posted On: January 3, 2022

With an innovative drill head, A.T.N. Engineering has been able to easily siphon off oil and gas from discarded refrigerators for years. The company is now focusing on automating this further. Where previously discarded refrigerators went straight into the shredder, nowadays recycling them is becoming more and more the norm. However, environmentally harmful oils and gases do need to be removed from the refrigerator's compressor. This can be done easily with A.T.N. Engineering's innovative drill head. The company is now focusing on further automation and is also investing in a robotic arm. Founder of the company Gerrie Leemput talks about how things are going. We will soon be able to process up to 300 refrigerators per hour.

My Take. Sounds like a good use of new technology to recycle old technology.
