Enva Northern Ireland explained that it recycles the majority of household fridges in Ireland at a plant in Toomebridge. With this latest investment, the company says it is increasing its capacity and efficiency.
Barry Phillips, director of Enva Northern Ireland said: “The new ANDRITZ plant, in addition to doubling our current capacity, will also achieve the final shred size in a single step, giving us high-quality output material ready for sale.”

Mr Phillips added: “Another important advantage is that we will be able to process domestic and commercial fridges at the same time.”
Franz Frühauf, sales director for recycling at ANDRITZ commented: “The heart of the plant is our ADuro QZ shredder. It does not use any cutting tools, but gently and quickly breaks up the input material by using the effects of impact forces. It is a breakthrough technology because it makes valuable waste material quickly accessible without potentially harmful substances emanating from individual parts – all at low operating costs.”
CFC and pentane
The scope of the work consists of the complete dismantling and sorting plant for simultaneous processing of CFC and pentane fridges from domestic or commercial markets in any ratio.
ANDRITZ remarked that the project confirms the company’s “strong market position as a leading supplier of innovative reject and recycling technology and services”, as well as its expertise “in critical waste streams”.
