Refrigerator recycling the ATN way

The ATN way

ATN can deliver a great number of machines for refrigerator recycling and degassing. ATN has developed a fast, easy and safe way to recycle and degas fridges. Our systems can degas and drain oil from up to 200 refrigerators an hour.

For the first step in recycling the compressors of old refrigerators contain refrigerants and oil that have to be taken out. The refrigerants can be very harmful to the ozone layer and it can increase the greenhouse effect. The gases also are very flammable. The empty compressor has to be removed before shredding the refrigerator in stage two.

ATN can supply stage one with a number of drill-heads that can degas and drain oil from refrigerator compressors. Long term experience shows that one drill-head can drain a domestic fridge within one minute. 

The maximum capacity depends on the efficiency of the weakest link in the process. Our systems are designed to utilize more than one drill-head resulting in an optimal performing degassing system in your overall refrigerator recycling process. Stage one may never slow down stage two.
