Violi technologies for spent catalysts recycling

Palladium is a rare and precious metal that is used in jewelry, dentistry, flutes, and in the catalytic converters that are part of car exhaust systems.

Russia is the world’s biggest palladium producer, so following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the price of this metal - and many other commodities - skyrocketed.

Thanks to the know-how acquired over years of experience in the field of precious metals recycling, Violi has developed a range of equipment that makes it possible to get the best out of the waste from carbonization processes, spent circuit boards, and catalytic converters - all in an environmentally friendly and sustainable way.

The company’s core activity centers on a series of manual and automatic crushing mills for ceramic catalytic converters, and chain crushing mills for metal catalytic converters. A wide range of solutions can be devised starting from a mill and then building plants according to the needs of customers.

Thanks to a completely closed system, these technologies offer the advantage of recovering 100% of the powder included in the catalytic converter, which is extremely relevant considering how much metal prices have increased as of lately.
