Purpose and Boundaries
Reduce Aluminum Profiles and Release Attached Components
The line page explains the complete system rather than repeating one machine page.
The line is designed around profile length, wall thickness, hollow structure and attached screws, hinges, rubber or thermal break strips.
Short prepared profiles may enter the crusher directly. Long profiles, complete frames or bundled material may require primary shredding first.
Typical Objective
Open hollow sections, reduce size and expose ferrous and non-metallic attachments.
Separate Evaluation
Glass, batteries, sealed parts, large steel reinforcements and hazardous items must be removed first.
Optional Expansion
Pre-cutting, twin shaft shredding, airflow sorting, eddy current separation and dust collection.

Direct Profile Crushing or Add Primary Shredding?
Different machines solve different processing problems and should not be presented as interchangeable.
Direct Profile Crushing
- Profiles are short and prepared
- Feed fits the crusher opening
- Material is not severely tangled
- A stable feed rate is possible
VS
Add Primary Shredding
- Complete frames are bulky
- Profiles are long or bundled
- Material bridges at the inlet
- Coarse preparation is needed first
Processed Output
Show the Material Streams, Not Only the Machinery
The final output depends on feed composition, liberation and installed separation stages.
Aluminum Profile Fraction

Ferrous Attachments

Aluminum Profile Processing Overview
The aluminum profile crushing and sorting line is designed for prepared window and door frames, extrusion offcuts, curtain wall profiles, aluminum tubing and thermal break profiles. The main processing objective is to open hollow sections, reduce profile size and expose attached screws, hinges, steel inserts, rubber and insulation strips.
The processing route depends on profile length, wall thickness, bundle condition and attached components. Short prepared profiles may enter an aluminum profile crusher directly, while long profiles or complete frames may require primary shredding.
Direct Crushing or Primary Shredding
Direct crushing is suitable when the profiles fit the crusher opening, can be fed steadily and do not create serious bridging or tangling. The aluminum profile crusher uses high-speed hammer impact and a screen to reduce the prepared material and control the maximum discharge size.
A twin shaft shredder can be installed before the crusher when the feed consists of long profiles, bundled offcuts or complete prepared frames. The shredder performs low-speed coarse size reduction and improves feeding conditions for the downstream crusher.
Attachment Removal and Output Preparation
Magnetic separation is generally recommended when the profiles contain screws, hinges, steel reinforcements or other ferrous components. Effective crushing helps expose these attachments before the material reaches the magnetic separator.
Screening can classify the aluminum-rich fragments into suitable size ranges. Thermal break strips, rubber and other loosened non-metallic material may require airflow separation, screening or another sorting method depending on the required product quality.
Material and Project Information
Glass, batteries, sealed components and unsuitable hazardous items must be removed before feeding. Large steel reinforcements that cannot be processed safely should also be separated in advance.
For equipment selection, please provide representative profile photos, maximum length, wall thickness, frame dimensions, bundle condition, attached materials, required capacity and expected output size. Final machine models and line arrangement are confirmed according to the actual feed and available installation space.

Frequently Asked Questions
Questions Specific to the Complete Line
When is a twin shaft shredder needed?
Primary shredding is recommended when complete frames, long profiles or bundled material cannot enter the aluminum profile crusher safely and consistently. The twin shaft shredder performs low-speed, high-torque coarse size reduction before the material enters the downstream crushing stage.
Can complete windows with glass enter the line?
No. Glass, batteries, sealed components and other unsuitable materials should be removed before feeding. Complete frames should also be checked for large steel reinforcements or components that could interfere with stable processing.
Does the line completely separate aluminum and plastic strips?
The separation result depends on the profile structure, crushing conditions, particle size and degree of material liberation. Screening, airflow separation or additional sorting equipment may be required to remove loosened thermal break strips, rubber and other non-metallic material.
Can short aluminum profiles enter the crusher directly?
Short and prepared aluminum profiles may enter a suitable profile crusher directly when the material fits the feeding opening and can be supplied at a stable rate. Long, bundled or tangled profiles may require pre-cutting or primary shredding before crushing.
How are screws, hinges and steel reinforcements removed?
Hammer crushing opens the profile structure and exposes attached ferrous components. A magnetic separator installed after the crusher can recover suitable screws, hinges, brackets and steel inserts. Separation performance depends on material liberation, particle size and feeding thickness.
Does the aluminum profile line require an eddy current separator?
Not every project requires an eddy current separator. Magnetic separation is normally used first to remove iron and steel. Eddy current separation may be considered when the prepared non-magnetic residue contains recoverable conductive metal mixed with suitable non-conductive material.
