Apparatus of recycling printed circuit board

An apparatus for separating resin and metal to separate a resin material composing an insulating material and a metallic material so as to separate and to retrieve the insulating material composing a printed circuit board and the metallic material including a printed metallic material and also composing the printed circuit board from a waste printed circuit board, which is used in waste electric equipment or a waste produced in a process of manufacturing electric equipment, comprising;

• a pressurizing means for pressurizing the waste printed circuit board, a heating means for heating up the waste printed circuit board to a predetermined temperature at which the waste printed circuit board is at least softened, and a filtering means for filtering the resin material from the waste printed circuit board that is maintained at the predetermined temperature by means of the heating means, wherein:
• the insulating material is made of either thermoplastic resin only or a mixture of thermoplastic resin and an inorganic loading material,
• the filtering means filters the insulating material only, the filtering means is made of a sintered metal, and the filtering means includes a filter, which passes only the resin material from the waste printed circuit board,
• the pressurizing means includes a driving shaft, which has a rotational body for transporting the waste printed circuit board, a driving unit, which rotates the driving shaft, and a holder unit, which accommodates the rotational body,
• a predetermined pressure caused by a rotational force of the rotational body is applied to an inner circumference wall of the holder unit,
• the driving shaft of the rotational body is disposed in a vertical direction,
• the filtering means is disposed and exposed on the inner circumference wall of the holder unit, so that the resin material is retrieved in the radial outward direction of a driving shaft, and
• the rotational body rotates within the inner circumferential wall of the holder unit, which is provided by a circumferential wall of the filtering means.
