BHS-Sonthofen highlighted equipment that recovers metals from e-scrap at the IFAT 2024 trade show earlier this year, including its Rotorshredder for specialized selective shredding of e-scrap or light metal scrap and its pre-shredder RAPAX.

The Rotorshredder system uses impact, shock and shearing forces to shred, isolate and clean the input material, and the RAPAX is well-suited for processing various metal fractions and e-scrap.

The high-performance Rotor impact mill crusher isolates different materials from pre-crushed, metal-containing material composites. It can remove cable sheathing and other adhesive substances from metals.

Germany-headquartered BHS-Sonthofen offers the Rotary shear type VR for pre-shredding or the Universal Shredder single-shaft shredder, both of which are being further developed into fully inertizable and gas-tight machines for safe battery shredding.
