If you want to separate the components from electronic boards before recovering the metals, an electronic component disassembly machine automates exactly this process. The boards are heated until the solder melts, then a mechanical action releases the components from the substrate, leaving stripped boards and components collected separately. The process is automatic, continuous and equipped with fume extraction, for a clean working environment.
An electronic component disassembly machine recovers the components intact, sortable by category and often resellable, and prepares the stripped boards for the copper and precious metal recovery flow. This way you first extract the functional value, then the material value of the metals. See the full range of recycling equipment and where each piece fits in the flow.
• Recovery of intact components, it releases chips, capacitors and connectors without destroying them, for reuse or resale.
• Controlled heating, the boards are brought to the solder melting temperature, enough to release the components, without burning.
• Automatic mechanical action, vibration or rotation releases the components from the boards, continuously and uniformly.
• Stripped boards, ready, the remaining boards enter the shredding and metal recovery flow cleanly.
• Fume extraction, the system captures and filters the gases produced during heating.
• Sorting by category, the released components can be separated by type, for recovery at a better price.
• Continuous operation, automatic feeding keeps a constant throughput.
• Added value, disassembly before shredding increases the total revenue obtained from the boards.

An electronic component disassembly machine is useful to WEEE recyclers, component brokers and refurbishment units that want to extract the functional value of boards before shredding. Many of the released components are sellable as they are, at a higher price than their value as plain metal.
Industrial equipment that processes WEEE must comply with the safety requirements of the European Union. For integration into a complete flow, see also the full industry solutions.
After disassembly, the stripped boards enter the fine shredding and electrostatic separation flow cleanly, where the copper and precious metals remaining in the board body are recovered.
Separating the components before shredding reduces the contamination of the metal fractions with plastics and ceramics, raising the purity of the copper and of the precious metal fraction.
Automation with continuous feeding processes large volumes without the slow, costly manual work of releasing components board by board.
The machine works with motherboards and memory boards, boards from household appliances, IT equipment, telecom and industrial equipment. The temperature and time settings adapt to the type of solder.

1. The electronic boards are fed automatically into the heating zone.
2. Controlled heating melts the solder that holds the components in place.
3. Vibration or rotation releases the components from the boards.
4. The components are collected separately, ready for sorting.
5. The stripped boards are discharged toward metal recovery.
6. The extraction system captures and filters the fume.
What does an electronic component disassembly machine recover?
It recovers chips, capacitors, connectors and integrated circuits, intact and sortable, plus the stripped boards, ready for metal recovery.
Do the components remain usable after disassembly?
Yes, for the most part. The setting of the temperature and the mechanical action directly influences the share of recovered components that remain usable.
Where is the machine placed in the flow?
Before shredding and electrostatic separation, so that the sellable components are recovered first.
How are the gases produced during heating treated?
The extraction and filtration system captures the fume produced when the solder melts, protecting the operators and the working environment.

„We do stainless-steel metal fabrication dedicated to restaurant kitchens. The UZINEX equipment was a radical change: modernization, an increase in production and quality.”
„I had no idea, I was completely clueless. And you started to explain to me. You told me what technologies to choose, what packaging to produce, what would work better on the market.”
„We use a single person who can operate 3-4 machines. Before, we needed 3-4 people to do the same thing.”
„We have multiple challenges in making special structures that serve our systems, and the laser welding machine solution helped us enormously.”
„Laser welding on stainless is something else, it's a completely different thing. The quality of the machines is undeniable: the samples say it all.”
„With Uzinex, I felt very well protected by the assistance they provided. When you have a whole shift stalled and you need someone to answer quickly, it matters enormously.”
„The proof that everything went well is that the equipment now works. We have over three years of experience with no problems. Or when there were issues, there was support. We're satisfied with the collaboration.”
„I can do even 5 boxes for one person, I can also do 10 boxes. Which other firms can't do. That is, they'd have to change dies, set up a whole 12-hour affair.”
„Whether I called at 2 in the morning or at 9 in the morning, the problems got solved. We're satisfied and we'll work together again.”
„A good, smooth collaboration. We always had support and help.”
„We're among the top producers in Romania for this product. I wouldn't have imagined that when I started, but things fell into place.”
„On price and quality ratio, they were the best price and the best quality on the market. We got along well and we're satisfied.”
Six technology directions we integrate turnkey: from plug & play IIoT sensors, to cobots, predictive maintenance, optical inspection, MES connectivity and custom industrial software.
See in real time how much each machine produces and how long it sits idle. We fit sensors on any equipment, new or old, and within a few hours you have the OEE dashboard on your phone. No complex wiring, no production downtime. The first concrete step toward digitalization, with ROI visible from the very first month.
Solve your labor shortage without tripling your costs. The cobot works safely alongside your people (palletizing, feeding the CNC, welding) while you recover the investment in 12-18 months. Prices 30-40% below European distributors, with installation and programming included from us.
Stop waiting for things to break. Our algorithms analyze sensor data and tell you exactly which part will fail and when, and we bring it to your production line before the breakdown. Zero unplanned downtime, zero contractual penalties, complete operational peace of mind.
Eliminate defects before they reach the customer. Our cameras inspect every part at speeds no operator can match, detecting sub-millimeter defects. They mount onto your existing line, with no modifications. Ideal if you produce for export and have strict quality clauses.
Connect your machines to your office, regardless of brand or age. Our gateway automatically translates the data from any machine into your ERP's format: no manual entry, no paper forms, no human error. The manager sees production live, the operator receives digital instructions.
Have a process that no off-the-shelf software can solve? We build custom industrial applications: from tailored SCADA panels and HMI interfaces, to production planning systems, lot traceability and automated reporting. The code is yours, it runs on your servers, with no monthly subscriptions or vendor lock-in.
