How it works

Learn more about how our machine works and how it contributes to making our planet greener.

Input

Spray cans are fed in via a system of your choice – manual or automatic. This way the machine adapts to every situation.

Closed chamber

The entire process takes place in a closed, safe enclosure with professional extraction and gas detection. Safety comes first.

Processing and separation

The bus is fully processed. Steel, contents and residual gas are automatically separated from each other. This is done without risk to the environment.

Disposal of components

Steel is collected and recycled. Contents are sent to a special container for research into reuse. Residual gas is collected and processed via an extraction system or, if necessary, flared. A reliable English method is recommended for this and optionally supplied.

Safety and certification

The machine is safety certified by an independent inspection company. Equipped with CE certification. Designed as an explosion-proof system, without ATEX components or environment required. Please note: additional regulations may apply in some countries. Please feel free to inquire about this.

Discover how this machine converts waste into valuable raw materials

Millions of aerosol cans are thrown away every year, often without responsible processing. These cans contain steel, chemical residues and propellant, and therefore pose a serious risk to people and the environment. SimpelRecycling.nl offers the solution: an innovative machine, developed by engineer Francois Collard, that safely and efficiently dismantles these cans. Steel is returned to the blast furnaces to be reused. The contents (such as PUR) are checked and examined for reusability. Residual gas is safely discharged or usefully utilized.

Who am I?

François Collard is an engineer, entrepreneur and inventor of multiple recycling solutions. He previously developed a spray can recycling machine that was successfully sold.
