Industrial machinery must be characterised before removal
A single machine may combine a metal structure, motors, panels, electronics, oils, fluids, batteries and components subject to distinct waste streams. Photographs, nameplates, weight, dimensions and usage history are therefore essential for the assessment.
Examples of assets
- Electrical panels, PLCs, inverters and automation systems;
- Production machinery with electronic modules;
- Laboratory and industrial measurement equipment;
- Motors, power supplies, controllers, cables and peripherals;
- Batches arising from retrofits, relocations or production-line closures.
Planning the decommissioning
Tell us whether the asset is powered down, disconnected, decontaminated and free of product. Provide details of lifting requirements, loading docks, corridors, staircases and safety restrictions. The scope should separate dismantling, handling, transport and treatment.
Frequently asked questions
Is all industrial equipment accepted?
No. Acceptance depends on composition, contamination, weight, risk, location and operational capacity.
Do I need to send photographs?
Yes. General photographs, the nameplate and access points reduce uncertainty and help determine whether a technical site visit is needed.
