Top 10 Water Treatment Circuit Board Recycling Equipment Suppliers in Russia in 2025

Founded in 2010, EcoTech has grown from a small workshop in St. Petersburg to a national leader in eco-friendly recycling tech. What sets them apart? They don’t just sell machines—they build partnerships. Many clients rave about their after-sales support, like on-site training for operators and 24/7 troubleshooting. “We had zero experience with circuit board recycling,” says Dmitry, a plant manager in Nizhny Novgorod. “EcoTech walked us through every step, from installation to first metal pour. Now we’re profitable in 8 months.”

Their flagship wet process system is a game-changer for water conservation. Here’s how it works: Shredded circuit boards are mixed with a mild chemical solution to dissolve non-metals. The liquid then flows into a filter press—a stack of cloth membranes that squeeze out every last ｄｒｏｐ of water, leaving behind a dry sludge of metals. The magic? That water is cleaned and reused, cutting down on fresh water use by 90%. For factories near water-scarce regions like Astrakhan, this isn’t just eco-friendly—it’s essential.

A recent project in Samara installed EcoTech’s 1000 kg/h system, processing old computer motherboards. Within a year, they recovered 2.3 tons of gold and 15 tons of copper—enough to offset the equipment cost twice over. “We used to send boards to landfills,” says the plant owner. “Now we’re a local resource hub.”

Their GCH-1500 model is a hit with rural recyclers. It starts with a single-shaft shredder to break down boards into small pieces, then a dry separator uses air currents to lift plastic fragments away from heavier metals. What’s left goes into a compact wet process unit, where a rotating drum agitates the mix to separate gold-plated pins and copper wires. The water is filtered through a nano-ceramic ball system (yes, those tiny balls help trap impurities!) and recirculated. Clients report energy bills 30% lower than all-wet systems.

Take “Uralsk Scrap Metals,” a family-run business in Chelyabinsk. They switched to GreenCycle’s 500 kg/h system last year and now recover 98% pure copper. “Before, we lost so much metal in the sludge,” says the owner’s son, Ivan. “Now we’re selling copper bars to local manufacturers—they even pay a premium for the quality.”

TechnoWaste isn’t for hobbyists—they build industrial-grade monsters. Their WCBD-2000A circuit board recycling plant is a beast, handling up to 2000 kg of boards per hour. Picture this: A 4-shaft shredder tears boards into powder, then a series of magnets and eddy current separators yank out ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The remaining mix goes into a dry separator that uses vibration to sort by density, before a final wet polish with their proprietary “MetalMax” solution. It’s overkill for small operations, but perfect for giants like Moscow’s “E-Waste Empire,” which processes 50 tons of boards monthly.

What clients rave about most is the purity of the output. Their gold recovery hits 99.9%, which means refineries pay top dollar. “We once had a batch of old military circuit boards,” recalls a client in Rostov. “TechnoWaste’s system pulled out 12 grams of gold per ton—double what we expected. That’s the difference between breaking even and making bank.”

Despite their size, TechnoWaste takes green seriously. Their plants come with built-in air pollution control systems—scrubbers that capture 99% of harmful fumes. A recent upgrade added solar panels to power auxiliary systems, cutting grid electricity use by 15%. “We’re not just in it for profit,” says their sustainability director. “We want to leave the planet better than we found it.”

UralEcoMachinery knows that not every recycler has space for a 2000 kg/h plant. Based in Perm, they specialize in “right-sized” systems for workshops and regional recycling centers. Their most popular model? A 300 kg/h water process unit paired with a hydraulic press. It’s compact enough to fit in a 20ft container, but tough enough to handle everything from phone motherboards to old server boards.

Here’s a fun fact: After wet processing, metals are often in tiny flakes—hard to transport and sell. UralEco’s hydraulic press solves that by compressing flakes into dense briquettes (think hockey pucks of pure copper or aluminum). “Transport costs dropped by 40% once we started briquetting,” says a client in Omsk. “And smelters love them—no more loose flakes blowing away during melting.”

What really wins clients over is customization. Need to process CRT monitors too? They’ll add a glass separator. Want to focus on gold recovery? They’ll tweak the chemical mix in the wet process. “We had a client in Yakutsk who only recycles military surplus boards,” says their sales manager. “We built them a system that prioritizes rare earth metals—now they’re the only supplier in Siberia for those elements.”

In Moscow, space is gold. That’s why Moscow Recycling Tech (MRT) designs machines that fit in tight urban workshops. Their compact granulator with dry separator is a marvel of engineering—about the size of a minivan, but capable of processing 500 kg/h. “We tested it in a garage in Zelenograd,” laughs MRT’s founder. “The neighbors didn’t even notice—until we started selling gold dust, that is.”

Most dry separators are bulky, but MRT’s uses a combination of air jets and electrostatic plates to sort metals from plastics. Shredded boards go into a rotating drum lined with nano-ceramic balls (they’re everywhere!) that gently grind off non-metallic layers without damaging metal components. The result? 95% metal recovery without a ｄｒｏｐ of water. “Perfect for Moscow’s strict water usage laws,” notes a client in the city center.

MRT prides itself on affordability. They offer leasing options and even buy back a percentage of the recovered metals for first-time buyers, easing cash flow压力. “We started with one machine,” says Anna, who runs a recycling co-op in St. Petersburg. “Now we have three MRT units and 12 employees. They didn’t just sell us equipment—they invested in our success.”
