High Voltage Pulse Power Solutions

COPIED FROM NATURE

Our technology

Today SELFRAG is the world leader in the selective fragmentation of solid materials using high voltage pulse power electrical discharges.

This technology is the most relevant alternative to conventional crushing and grinding techniques. As a result, it presents an unprecedented potential to develop a new generation of sustainable and economically profitable materials processing solutions.

Our highly skilled team has brought industrialised and patented high voltage pulse power products and systems to the market, satisfying our clients for over a decade.

The basic concept

We use high voltage electrical pulses to selectively fragment solid composite materials along grain boundaries.

High electrical pulses between electrodes into water release the material very efficiently.

How does it work?

High Voltage fragmentation uses the difference in the conductivity of materials to release valuable materials and free them from impurities.
