Whole‑plant equipment recycling refers to the packaged evaluation, dismantling, hoisting, transportation‑away and site clearance of all production equipment, supporting electromechanical facilities and inventory materials from a whole workshop or factory plant when the factory relocates, suspends production, closes down or carries out technical upgrading. Recyclers undertake the full‑set operations. Usable equipment will be resold second‑hand, while scrapped equipment will be disposed of as recycled resources by categories of metals and materials.

As you previously concerned about rotary kilns, complete cement production lines (rotary kilns, preheaters, coolers, dust‑removal units, fans, silos, conveyors, power distribution cabinets, etc.) fall within the scope of whole‑plant recycling.

 Recycling Scope

‑ Main production equipment: rotary kilns, ball mills, crushers, dryers, vertical mills, filter presses, reaction kettles, machine tools, injection‑molding machines and other complete production lines

‑ Supporting electromechanical facilities: transformers, high‑low‑voltage power distribution cabinets, cables, air compressors, fans, water pumps, overhead travelling cranes, boilers, refrigeration units

‑ Auxiliary supplies: pipelines, valves, steel structures, silos, conveyors, spare parts, steel inventories

‑ Others: plant steel structures, office equipment, waste metals, etc. (available for packaged recycling)

 Standard Business Procedures

1. Preliminary communication: Provide the equipment list, photos, plant location, and specify whether dismantling, hoisting and site clearance services are required

2. On‑site inspection & assessment: Survey equipment condition, operability, corrosion status and on‑site hoisting conditions, then offer an on‑site quotation (comparing quotations from at least 2‑3 suppliers is recommended)

3. Sign a recycling contract, clarifying the total price, payment schedule, safety liabilities and removal deadline

4. Dismantling construction: The recycler assigns certified personnel for equipment disassembly, cutting and hoisting (special‑equipment dismantling requires special qualifications)

5. Stock‑taking, loading and final payment settlement. Keep photos and video records throughout the whole process

6. Site clearance: Waste materials shall be transported away and the plant site handed over.

 Core Contract Clauses (Key Risk Prevention)

1. Payment terms: Agree on advance deposit and full settlement upon completion of loading as priority. Beware of excessively high bait quotations, price deduction or final‑payment default after loading.

2. Safety liabilities: All safety accidents occurring during dismantling, hoisting and transportation shall be fully borne by the recycler, which shall be stated clearly in the contract.

3. Environmental‑protection liabilities: Hazardous wastes, waste oil and sludge shall be disposed of in compliance with regulations by the recycler, and subsequent environmental‑protection liabilities shall not be traced to the original factory.

4. Subject‑matter scope: Attach a signed Appendix of Equipment List, specifying exactly which items are included for recycling and which are excluded, to prevent unauthorized removal of extra items during loading.

5. As‑is delivery: State clearly that equipment is delivered on an as‑is basis. The recycler has inspected equipment conditions and shall not reduce the transaction price afterwards on the grounds of equipment faults.

6. Removal schedule: Set a deadline for equipment removal and liquidated damages for overdue delivery.

 Pre‑sale Preparations before Selling Factory Equipment

1. Inventory check: Compile an equipment list marked with brand, model and service life; take photos or videos for filing

2. Ownership verification: Confirm no mortgage, seizure or ownership disputes over the equipment

3. Special‑equipment notice: Inform recyclers in advance of pressure vessels, boilers, rotary kilns and other special equipment, whose dismantling requires valid qualifications

4. On‑site preparation: Drain residual oil and accumulated water inside pipelines, and isolate hazardous materials in advance.
