End of Life Vehicle Drainage Equipment

The need to use specialized equipment for the dismantling and depollution of end-of-life vehicles is basing on the European directive 2000/53/EC. It regulates that all vehicle manufacturers and importers of new vehicles are obliged, together with all other aff ected economical operators of this sector – to take back the end-of-life vehicles from the market and to make sure that their components are dismantled and depolluted in a way that guarantees a respectful treatment of the environment and that until the end of 2006 the recycling and recovery rate of 85 % of the material weight and until 2015 a rate of 95 % must be achieved. For the vehicle owners the take-back must be free of charge and it concerns all vehicles for the transport of max 9 passengers and a weight of max 3.5 t.
The directive defines the free-of-charge take-back of the vehicles like this:
– the vehicle must be delivered to a permitted treatment facility indicated by the vehicle manufacturer that takes it back free of charge;
– the vehicle must be complete or at least must include all essential components such as motor, gearbox, vehicle body, electronic components and catalyzer;
– the vehicle must not include contain any type of garbage.

Environmental Liability

The environmental liability is an important factor of the FLEXBIMEC company philosophy. Actually it gets involved with a continuous environmental protection as one of its essential company targets.

Depollution Process

When an “end-of-life” vehicle has been delivered to a suitable facility, it will be dismantled and depolluted in a proper way, including the following operations:
– Drainage of all fluids;
– Dismantling of the battery and of the tyres;
– Neutralization of the airbag system.
Each marketable part that is dismantled can be sold, except of the safety components which content pyrotechnic material (f. ex. airbags, seat belt pretensioner).

FLEXBIMEC is implementing a complete line of equipment for the dismantling and waste fluids drainage of end-of-life vehicles for professional users.
