Description
Used washing machines come from washing machines scrapped during consumption, and are divided into wave washing machines and drum washing machines according to models, and can be further divided into different sizes according to washing capacity. The process represented in this dataset is that after entering the dismantling workshop, the used washing machine is decomposed by manual and mechanical processes to form dismantling products such as materials or parts, and manual disassembly uses manual, pneumatic and power tools to dismantle all directly disassembled components, parts, cables, etc. The composition of dismantling products is aluminum (3%), copper (4%), iron (53%), plastic (36%), and others (4%).
Activity Description
This dataset represents the process of obtaining valuable recycled products through the disassembly of used washing machines, including energy consumption and the generation of waste components.
Process Description
Disassemble waste washing machines to obtain casings, power cords, circuit boards, motors, etc.
