| Popis: | Current manufactured products are not always designed to fulfil ecological requirements. Products should be easy to dismantle in order to separate all materials so they can be reused, recovered or recycled. In most products, however, the junctions utilised are tightly joined, making it difficult to disassemble them. In order to contribute to the designers' work in developing easily-to-disassembly products, three pre-recycling centres were visited and observed; two coffee machines were disassembled and examined. Both procedures were intended to provide examples of the various difficulties currently encountered in a common disassembly process, so that such hindrances can be avoided with new products. It was concluded that designers and engineers should do this type of study to learn about the most serious problems of existing products with respect to their disassembly processes and about how to correct them, as was observed in our experiments. |
