Method and equipment of recycling used automobiles

A recycling method of used-automobiles comprising the steps of;

• preparing a reusable parts collecting station for collecting reusable parts including exterior parts from a used-automobile, a liquid collecting station for collecting liquid including fuel, oil and coolant from said used-automobile, a prearranging station for collecting parts or materials including Freon, battery, seat, tire, windshield, and a part of resin parts from said used-automobile to facilitate collecting operation in other station, a functional parts collecting station for collecting functional parts including rear and side glasses, engine and suspension from said used-automobile, a non-ferrous metal parts and resin parts collecting station for collecting non-ferrous metal parts and resin parts from said used-automobile, and a pressing station for pressing a body of said used-automobile after collecting and removing parts or materials;
• arranging each of said stations sequentially in forgoing order to provide a scrapping line including at least said prearranging station, said functional parts collecting station, and said non-ferrous metal parts and resin parts collecting station;
• providing a sorting and storing station close to said scrapping line so as to sort and store parts or materials collected from said stations for each said collected parts or materials,
• wherein a recycling rate of said used-automobile yielded by collected parts directly collected from said used-automobile and a body of said used-automobile after collecting parts is adapted to be in the range of 85 to 97 mass %.

A recycling equipment of used-automobiles comprising;

• a liquid extracting apparatus for extracting liquid from a used-automobile, said liquid extracting apparatus having a vertically movable table with placing said used-automobile thereon;
• a prearrangement apparatus for collecting parts or materials from said used-automobile to facilitate collecting operation in other apparatuses, said prearrangement apparatus having a pedestal for a body of said used-automobile;
• a functional parts collecting apparatus for collecting functional parts from said used-automobile, said functional parts collecting apparatus having a vertically rotatable table;
• a non-ferrous metal parts collecting apparatus for collecting non-ferrous metal parts from said used-automobile;
• a pressing apparatus for pressing a body of said used-automobile after collecting parts, wherein each said apparatuses are sequentially arranged in forgoing order to provide a scrapping line;
• wherein said recycling equipment further including:
• a transfer apparatus for transferring said used-automobile adapted to travel between said apparatuses, to forereach a preceding used-automobile in said scrapping line, and to hold the body of said used-automobile in parallel with the ground;
• a collected parts storing pallet for storing parts collected from said apparatuses, said collected parts storing pallet arranged close to both sides of said scrapping line;
• and
• an operation floor arranged at the height of said collected parts storing pallet.
