I'm not sure of the cost, but I do know someone who owns similar equipment that cost him 2.7 mil for the entire line, and he's talking about putting in a second one. He has more material to process than he is capable of, and has several tons collecting each day in his yard. <<

considering that the return per ton is less with each new generation of circuit board(s) can an additional line be justified?



there was a report a few months ago that dealt with the elimination of plating of the majority of previously plated corrosion areas. the life of many consumable items has dropped to a point where corrosion is not as big an issue as in the past. IF, that was to become the norm for a large number of consumables, would it even be feasible to process what would be extremely low recovery boards.

a comparison of circuit boards produced from 2005 up to previous , 10 year increment, versions of similar circuit boards shows a remarkable drop in recoverable material.

IF, the above becomes a given, would you be better off investing that 2.7 in some other venture?
