Objective of the project

The project aims to build a compact plant capable of processing the stator of a discarded household appliance motor and, through a semi-automatic process, separating copper from steel for their recovery.

Specifically, the new plant will have to:

  • Automatically open the stator of any electric motor
  • Separate the steel lamination part from the copper coil and deliver the two metals separately
  • Be compact in size
  • Have a plant cost competitive with large shredding facilities

RICADUTE PREVISTE SULLA COMPETITIVITÀ DELLE IMPRESE COINVOLTE

Ricadute e positivi vantaggi si possono riscontrare per:

  • Companies in the WEEE waste recovery and valorisation sector
  • The circular economy and environmental protection
  • Birth of new companies in the WEEE waste recovery sector

COLLABORAZIONE ATTIVATA, SIA TRA IMPRESE CHE CON ORGANISMI DI RICERCA

For the development of the CHIARO MACCHINE SPECIALI project, it relies on:

  • POLYTECHNIC UNIVERSITY OF TURIN (Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering)
  • STUDIO TECNICO Matteo ALESINA MONTANATO (TO)
  • ALLOYS IMPIANTISTICA S.n.c. MONTANATO (TO)

RUOLO SVOLTO DAL POLO (anche in prospettiva)

The support of the CLEVER Cluster was of great help in the interpretative phase of the Innovation Poles Line B Call and served as a reference point in drafting the Format.

MODALITÀ DI DIFFUSIONE DEI RISULTATI

he results achieved from the successful outcome of the project will be disseminated with a significant occupational impact on new business opportunities in the recovery of WEEE waste.

Through the development and promotion of the circular economy and environmental protection, significant national-level benefits will also be obtained by reducing the import of raw materials such as copper and steel thanks to their recovery and recycling.

Thematic areas

  • Circular Economy and Bioeconomy
