With the widespread use of electronic devices, the amount of discarded circuit boards is also increasing. These discarded circuit boards contain a large amount of precious metals and harmful substances. If they are not properly handled, they will cause serious pollution to the environment. Therefore, the emergence of circuit board recycling equipment is of great significance. Circuit board recycling equipment mainly includes disassembling equipment, crushing equipment, sorting equipment, and extraction equipment, etc. Disassembling equipment is used to separate components and plastic shells on circuit boards; crushing equipment crushes circuit boards into small pieces; sorting equipment separates metals, plastics, glass, and other substances according to their different properties; and extraction equipment extracts valuable substances such as metals to achieve the recycling and utilization of resources. The application of circuit board recycling equipment not only reduces the pollution of waste to the environment, but also saves resources and reduces production costs. By recycling precious metals such as gold, silver, and copper from circuit boards, the exploitation of these resources can be reduced and the consumption of resources can be reduced. At the same time, recycling substances such as plastics from circuit boards can also reduce the demand for new plastics and reduce production costs. The development of circuit board recycling equipment also faces some challenges. Firstly, the types and structures of circuit boards are becoming increasingly complex, which brings certain difficulties to disassembly and recycling. Secondly, the cost of circuit board recycling equipment is high, and a large amount of funds needs to be invested in research and development and production. In addition, the market demand for circuit board recycling equipment is not stable enough, and there is a need to further expand the market. Circuit board recycling equipment is an important force in environmental protection and resource recycling. Although there are still some challenges at present, with the continuous progress of technology and the continuous expansion of the market, circuit board recycling equipment will be applied more widely and make greater contributions to protecting the environment and saving resources.
