ABB ACV700 series frequency converter

ABB ACV700 series frequency converter

Scope and purpose of application

Covering the entire range of ACV700 frequency converters, we provide customers and professional recycling institutions with recycling and processing standards that comply with the EU WEEE directive, guiding material separation, disassembly, and environmentally compliant operations.

Product material composition

The ACV700 frequency converter is mainly composed of an incoming line unit (LSU), a capacitor bank unit (CBU), and an inverter unit (INO). The materials for each part are as follows:

Unit, main components, core materials

Incoming unit rectifiers, fuses, circuit breakers, etc. made of copper (Cu), aluminum (Al), steel (Fe), ceramics, plastics (PP, PC, PVC), silver (Ag), nickel (Ni), etc

Aluminum (Al) electrolytic capacitor unit, electrolytic solution

Inverter unit power semiconductor, circuit board and other glass fiber (GF), copper (Cu), tin (Sn), plastic, heat dissipation grease (including silicon, zinc chromium, etc.)

Packaging materials: including wooden pallets, corrugated cardboard, anti-static polyethylene film, VCI rust proof film, etc., all of which are recyclable materials.

Environmental characteristics of production and use

Production management: ABB Oy (Finland)'s production system complies with ISO 9001 (quality) and ISO 14001 (environment) certifications, ensuring environmental compliance in the production process.

Advantages during the usage phase:

Energy saving benefits: By adjusting the motor speed, significant energy consumption can be reduced and operating costs can be minimized.

Optimization control: Accurately adjust speed and torque to enhance process stability.

Extend lifespan: Reduce motor and equipment wear and tear, and lower maintenance requirements.

Product waste disposal and recycling

Handling principle:

Adhere to international and national regulations, prioritize dismantling and separating materials for recycling, and reduce landfill and incineration.

Disassembly method:

Manual disassembly: Separate by material classification (black metal, aluminum, plastic, printed circuit board, electrolytic capacitor, etc.).

Mechanical crushing: Harmful substances (such as electrolytic capacitors) need to be removed first, and then the materials are crushed and sorted using specialized equipment.

Hazardous substance control:

Compliant with the EU RoHS II directive, restricting the use of harmful substances such as lead and mercury, with specific reference to the ABB List of Prohibited and Restricted Substances.

WEEE compliance requirements:

The product is labeled with the "Wheelie Bin" recycling label (with a horizontal line indicating production after 2005), and must be processed through dedicated recycling channels. Mixing with ordinary household waste is prohibited.

Recycling examples and environmental information

Typical recycling methods:

Directly recycling and reusing metal materials such as steel and aluminum; Plastic is used for energy recovery (incineration power generation); Printed circuit boards and electrolytic capacitors are treated as electronic waste; Landfilling of ceramic materials.
