Breaking up old motor vehicles containing plastics parts - involves first breaking plastics parts away from bodywork

摘要

The breaking up of old motor vehicles with bodywork containing parts made of plastics, is carried out in the following way. Lines of weakness are formed in each plastics part in the region of its attachment to the vehicle bodywork. A force or pressure is then applied to the plastics part in order to break it away from the body along the line of weakness. The line of weakness may be formed by breaking the fastening elements between the plastics part and the bodywork. USE/ADVANTAGE - Breaking up of old cars by first removing the plastics parts reduces the cost of breaking up the metal parts.
