Top 5 Dry Process PCB Recycling Equipment Suppliers in Singapore [2025]

When it comes to high-capacity dry process PCB recycling, Singapore Eco-Recycle Tech (SERT) stands head and shoulders above the rest. With over 15 years in the industry, SERT has built a reputation for engineering robust systems that can handle everything from small-scale operations to industrial-level processing. Their flagship offering, the circuit board recycling plant with dry separator (500-2000kg/hour capacity) , is a workhorse designed for businesses that need consistent, high-volume output. So, how does it work? The process starts with a pre-shredder that breaks down PCBs into smaller pieces, followed by a granulator that reduces them to uniform particles. What sets SERT’s system apart is its advanced dry separator—a multi-stage unit that uses air classification and electrostatic separation to separate metals from non-metals. The air classifier first removes lightweight plastics and resins, while the electrostatic separator uses electric charges to pull apart conductive metals (like copper and gold) from non-conductive materials. The result? Metal purity rates of up to 99%, which is a big deal for recyclers looking to sell recovered materials to smelters or manufacturers. One of SERT’s standout clients is a major electronics manufacturer in Jurong East, which installed two of these plants in 2024. “We were processing around 800kg of PCBs daily with our old wet system, but it was costly to treat the wastewater and slow to adjust to different PCB types,” says the plant manager. “SERT’s dry plant doubled our capacity to 1.6 tons/day, cut our utility bills by 40%, and we no longer worry about chemical disposal. It’s been a game-changer for our sustainability goals.” SERT also prioritizes compliance with Singapore’s strict environmental regulations, with all equipment certified by the National Environment Agency (NEA) and ISO 14001 standards. Their after-sales support is another plus—24/7 technical assistance, on-site training, and a 5-year warranty on critical components. For businesses that need to scale quickly, SERT offers modular designs that let you start with a 500kg/hour unit and upgrade to 2000kg/hour as demand grows.

Not every business needs a massive industrial plant—and Green Circuit Solutions (GCS) knows that. This Singapore-based supplier specializes in compact, high-efficiency dry process equipment tailored for small to medium-sized recyclers, electronics repair shops, and even research institutions. Their star product, the compact granulator with dry separator equipment , is a space-saving solution that proves big things come in small packages. Measuring just 3m x 2m, GCS’s compact system is designed to fit in tight workshops while still delivering impressive results. It combines a granulator and dry separator into a single unit, eliminating the need for multiple machines and complex installations. The granulator uses precision blades to shred PCBs into fine particles (down to 2mm), and the built-in dry separator uses a combination of vibration and air flow to separate metals and plastics. What makes this system unique is its “intelligent sorting” feature—sensors adjust air pressure and vibration speed in real-time based on the PCB composition, ensuring optimal separation even with mixed batches. “We work with a lot of small recyclers who can’t afford a full-scale plant,” explains GCS’s sales director. “Our compact granulator costs 60% less than industrial systems and uses only 5kW of power—about the same as a home air conditioner. One client, a family-run e-waste shop in Geylang, processes 100-150kg of PCBs daily with it. They sell the recovered copper to local metal suppliers and the plastic to 3D printing companies, turning waste into a steady revenue stream.” GCS also prides itself on innovation. In 2023, they partnered with Nanyang Technological University (NTU) to develop a low-noise version of the granulator, reducing operating decibels from 85dB to 70dB—quiet enough to run in urban areas without disturbing neighbors. They’ve also added a mobile option, with wheels and a foldable design, for businesses that need to move the equipment between locations. For startups or businesses testing the waters of PCB recycling, GCS offers a “try before you buy” program, letting clients rent the equipment for 3 months to evaluate performance.

EcoTech Systems Singapore isn’t just selling equipment—they’re selling peace of mind. This supplier differentiates itself by offering end-to-end dry process solutions, from initial PCB shredding to final metal purification, with a strong focus on environmental safety. While their core expertise is in dry separation, they’re also a trusted provider of air pollution control system equipment , ensuring that their recycling plants don’t just process waste responsibly but also keep the air clean. EcoTech’s dry process PCB recycling line starts with a dual-shaft shredder that safely breaks down PCBs (including those with batteries or capacitors) into manageable chunks. The material then moves to a granulator with adjustable screen sizes, allowing operators to control particle size for better separation. The star of the show is their electrostatic dry separator, which uses high-voltage electricity to create an electric field—conductive metals are attracted to one plate, while non-conductives are repelled to another. What truly sets EcoTech apart, though, is their integrated air pollution control system: a multi-stage filter that captures dust, fumes, and microplastics generated during processing. The system uses HEPA filters and activated carbon to remove 99.9% of airborne particles, ensuring compliance with Singapore’s strict air quality standards. A recent project showcases their capabilities: in 2024, EcoTech installed a complete line for a government-backed e-waste recycling facility in Tuas. The facility processes 1.2 tons of PCBs daily, and thanks to EcoTech’s air pollution control system, nearby air quality monitors have recorded zero超标 readings since operations began. “We needed a system that could handle diverse PCB types, from old computer motherboards to smartphone PCBs, and EcoTech delivered,” says the facility’s environmental officer. “The dry process is water-free, and the air filters mean we don’t release any harmful particles. It’s a win-win for our mission to make Singapore a zero-waste nation.” EcoTech also offers customization, working with clients to design systems that fit their specific needs. Whether a client needs to recover rare metals like gold or palladium, or focus on high-volume copper recovery, EcoTech tailors the separator settings and downstream processing steps accordingly. Their after-sales team includes environmental engineers who conduct regular audits to ensure systems remain compliant as regulations evolve.

Reliability is the name of the game for Clean Circuit Machinery (CCM). This Singaporean supplier has built its brand on manufacturing dry process equipment that’s durable, low-maintenance, and designed to last. Their focus on quality materials and engineering means their machines can handle the toughest PCB types—think thick, multi-layered boards from industrial equipment or military-grade electronics—without frequent breakdowns. CCM’s flagship dry process system, the CircuitMaster D1500, is a testament to this philosophy. The shredder and granulator use hardened steel blades and wear-resistant liners, reducing the need for blade replacements from every 3 months to once a year. The dry separator features ceramic insulators (instead of plastic) to withstand high temperatures and prevent static buildup, ensuring consistent performance even in Singapore’s humid climate. “We used to spend 10-15 hours/week maintaining our old equipment,” says a CCM client who runs a recycling facility in Woodlands. “With the CircuitMaster, maintenance time is down to 2-3 hours/week. The blades stay sharp longer, and the separator rarely jams. It’s like having a machine that takes care of itself.” CCM also understands that downtime costs money, so they’ve built a robust local support network. Their Singapore-based warehouse stocks spare parts for all models, and technicians are available for on-site repairs within 24 hours. For international clients, they offer remote diagnostic tools, letting engineers troubleshoot issues via video call and ship parts the same day. Another standout feature is CCM’s commitment to transparency. They provide detailed energy and recovery rate reports via a cloud-based monitoring system, so clients can track metrics like kWh used per kg of PCBs processed and metal purity levels in real time. This data helps businesses optimize operations and prove their sustainability credentials to stakeholders. In 2024, CCM even launched a “Recycling Efficiency Program,” where their engineers visit client sites twice a year to fine-tune equipment settings and suggest process improvements—all at no extra cost.

Rounding out our list is FutureCycle Technologies, a relative newcomer to the Singapore scene but already making waves with its focus on next-gen dry process innovation. Founded in 2018 by a team of engineers from the recycling and semiconductor industries, FutureCycle is on a mission to push the boundaries of what dry process PCB recycling can achieve—starting with higher metal purity and lower energy use. Their breakthrough technology is the QuantumSort Dry Separator, which uses quantum tunneling composite (QTC) sensors to detect and separate metals at the molecular level. Traditional electrostatic separators can struggle with tiny metal particles or alloys, but QTC sensors identify even trace amounts of metals, boosting recovery rates to 99.5% for gold and silver. “We’re seeing a 15-20% increase in gold recovery compared to our previous system,” says a FutureCycle client who recycles PCBs from luxury electronics. “That adds up to thousands of dollars in extra revenue monthly, just from better separation.” FutureCycle’s systems also prioritize energy efficiency. The QuantumSort uses a variable-frequency drive (VFD) motor that adjusts power based on material load, reducing energy use by 25% compared to fixed-speed motors. The granulator features a heat recovery system, capturing excess heat from the shredding process to pre-warm incoming PCBs, which makes them easier to break down and reduces wear on blades. What really sets FutureCycle apart, though, is their focus on circular economy integration. They don’t just sell equipment—they help clients build partnerships with downstream users of recycled metals. For example, they’ve connected several clients with Singapore-based 3D printing companies that use recycled plastic from PCBs to make filaments, and with jewelry makers who use recovered gold. “Recycling isn’t just about processing waste—it’s about creating a closed loop,” says FutureCycle’s CEO. “We want our clients to see PCBs not as trash, but as a valuable resource with multiple revenue streams.” While FutureCycle’s equipment comes with a premium price tag, clients say the return on investment is worth it. “The higher recovery rates and lower energy bills paid for the system in under 2 years,” notes one customer. “Plus, the circular economy partnerships have opened up new business opportunities we never considered.”
