Patented system for handling waste electronic and electric equipment 

Patented system for handling waste electronic and electric equipment – WEEE

The magnets

The Magnojack and Magnoclamp system is an innovative solution for handling Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). Using permanent magnets, these tools securely grip and move large appliances, addressing manual handling challenges in WEEE recycling. Magnojack is a magnetized sack truck for manual movement, while Magnoclamp is a forklift attachment for mechanical lifting and stacking. Designed to handle loads up to 120 kg, this magnet-based concept improves safety, efficiency, and environmental compliance across the WEEE handling process, from collection points to recycling facilities

Handling without the product

Large WEEE items are often handled manually or with unsuitable equipment like standard sack trucks. This is inefficient and poses significant safety risks to employees. Manual handling increases the risk of personal injuries and repetitive strain injuries, especially when moving heavy appliances like washing machines or cookers. Traditional solutions often require two-person operation, are slower, and may damage the products.

Environment

This system contributes to more efficient and environmentally friendly handling of WEEE. By enabling safe and efficient handling of appliances, these systems support the EU’s goals for increased WEEE recycling. They prevent damage to refrigerator and freezer elements, reducing the risk of CFC gas emissions. The systems optimize the loading process, which can reduce the number of transports and thereby decrease CO2 emissions. They also support the proper upright storage of cooling furniture containing CFCs, HCFCs, or HFCs, which are classified as Hazardous Waste.

Area of use

At recycling centers, the Magnojack allows staff to easily move appliances from drop-off points to storage areas or containers. The Magnoclamp can then be used to efficiently stack appliances in containers, maximizing space utilization.
Retail staff can use Magnojack to safely handle returned appliances, moving them from the sales floor to storage areas.

At these intermediate facilities, both Magnojack and Magnoclamp play crucial roles in sorting and loading appliances onto long-haul transport vehicles, ensuring efficient space use and safe handling.

Within recycling facilities, the system aids in moving appliances between different processing stages. The Magnoclamp is particularly useful for unloading incoming shipments and organizing appliances for disassembly.

During residential pickups, collection teams can use Magnojack to safely move appliances from curbside to the collection vehicle, reducing physical strain and speeding up the process.

Environment

Reduced traffic

Fewer trips contribute to decreased road congestion, particularly in urban areas where many collection points are located.

Prevent damage

Prevents damage to refrigerator and freezer elements, reducing the risk of CFC gas emissions.

Optimized stacking

The system allows for ‘4×3’ stacking – four appliances across and three high in trucks and containers. This maximizes available space utilization.

Streamlined workflow

The system enables a streamlined, safer workflow throughout the WEEE collection and recycling process.

HMS

By eliminating the need for manual lifting of heavy appliances, our system reduces the risk of musculoskeletal injuries and repetitive strain disorders common in waste management. The system’s design allows workers to maintain proper posture and use both hands for control, minimizing accidents and improving ergonomics. This not only protects workers but also helps employers meet their legal obligations.
