The AC recycling crusher is designed to process prepared air conditioner radiators, copper aluminum heat exchangers, automotive radiator sections and other suitable copper-aluminum composite scrap.
Complete air conditioners must be dismantled and depolluted before mechanical processing. Refrigerant, compressor oil, electrical components, batteries, capacitors, plastic housings and other unsuitable materials should be removed according to local operating and environmental requirements.
Prepared radiator sections are reduced into smaller pieces so that copper tubes, aluminum fins and attached ferrous components become easier to process in downstream separation equipment. The selected crusher and feeding method depend on the radiator dimensions, material thickness and required output size.
Large or tangled heat exchangers that exceed the crusher feeding limits may require pre-cutting or primary size reduction by a twin shaft shredder. Properly sized and prepared radiator sections may enter the crusher directly.
After crushing, a magnetic separator can recover exposed iron frames, steel brackets, screws and other ferrous components from the processed material.
After ferrous metal removal, screening and suitable material preparation, an eddy current separator may recover conductive non-ferrous metals from an appropriate non-metallic material stream. It does not normally separate copper and aluminum into two independent high-purity products.
When separate copper and aluminum fractions are required, additional density separation, sensor-based sorting, airflow separation or manual sorting may be needed according to the particle size and material composition.
The AC recycling crusher can operate as an individual machine or form part of a non ferrous metal sorting line with controlled feeding, crushing, magnetic separation, screening, additional metal sorting, dust collection and centralized control.
The final configuration depends on the radiator type, maximum dimensions, copper and aluminum content, attached steel and plastic components, required capacity, expected output size and target recovered products.
The AC recycling crusher is intended for prepared copper-aluminum radiator sections, heat-exchanger pieces and similar composite scrap that fit the feed opening. Complete air-conditioning units, compressors, pressure-containing components, refrigerant circuits and oversized steel frames are not standard direct feed. Refrigerant, oil and other regulated substances must be removed by qualified processes before mechanical size reduction.
Automotive radiators, air-conditioner coils, aluminum radiators and copper-aluminum heat exchangers differ in tube material, fin density, steel end plates, plastic tanks and attached frames. The maximum dimensions, individual weight, copper-to-aluminum ratio and remaining attachments should be confirmed before the rotor, hammers and screen are selected.
The hammer crusher reduces prepared radiator sections and helps release copper tubes, aluminum fins and attached ferrous parts. Screen opening, fin density, tube thickness, rotor speed, hammer arrangement, feed rate and recirculation affect output and liberation. A smaller screen can improve size control while reducing capacity and increasing wear.
Magnetic separation can remove exposed iron and steel. Copper and aluminum normally require additional separation according to particle size, shape and degree of liberation. Airflow, density, screening, sensor or manual sorting may be considered. An eddy current separator alone should not be presented as an automatic copper-aluminum separator for every radiator stream.
Please provide radiator type, photos, maximum dimensions, individual weight, tube and fin materials, plastic and steel attachments, hourly quantity, target products and available downstream equipment. Fixed recovery or purity should not be promised without representative material testing.
Complete air conditioners must be dismantled before crushing. Refrigerant should be recovered using suitable equipment, and compressor oil, electrical components, capacitors, plastic housings and other unsuitable materials should be removed according to local operating requirements.
The intended feed material is a prepared radiator, condenser or heat exchanger section that meets the feeding limits of the selected crusher.
Prepared radiator sections are transferred into the crushing chamber by a conveyor or suitable feeding device. The feeding rate should match the radiator dimensions, material density and crusher load.
Oversized, folded or tangled heat exchanger material may require pre-cutting or primary shredding before entering the crusher.
A high-speed rotor drives the crushing components to repeatedly impact, deform and reduce the prepared radiator material. The process breaks the copper tubes and aluminum fins into smaller composite pieces and may loosen attached iron, plastic and rubber components.
Crushing does not automatically produce separate copper and aluminum products. The degree of material liberation depends on the radiator structure, output size, equipment configuration and number of processing passes.
Processed material is discharged from the crusher and transferred to the next separation stage. When the equipment includes a screen or grate, the opening size helps control the discharged material dimensions.
After crushing, magnetic separation can recover exposed iron frames, steel brackets, screws and other ferrous components from the mixed material stream.
Screening can classify different particle-size fractions and remove excessive fines. A material spreading device may provide more uniform feeding before subsequent sorting.
Copper and aluminum are both conductive non-ferrous metals. An eddy current separator may recover conductive metal particles from suitable non-conductive residues, but it does not normally separate copper from aluminum as two high-purity products.
Density separation, sensor-based sorting, airflow separation or manual sorting may be required when separate copper and aluminum fractions are needed.
Dust collection can be configured around the crusher, screening equipment and conveyor transfer points according to the surface contamination and material condition.
Recovered ferrous material, copper-aluminum fractions and residual material are transferred to separate collection areas according to the selected process.
The AC recycling crusher uses a hammer crushing system to process waste air conditioner housings, radiators, heat exchangers, water heater shells and other mixed recyclable materials. The crushed material can be sent to magnetic separation, eddy current separation, screening or air classification for further sorting.
The line can process waste air conditioner outdoor units, AC housings, copper-aluminum radiators, heat exchangers, water heater shells, appliance shells and mixed copper-aluminum-iron-plastic materials.
After crushing, the material can pass through a magnetic separator to separate ferrous metals such as iron and steel from the mixed material stream.
An eddy current separator can be installed after magnetic separation. It helps separate conductive non-ferrous metals such as copper and aluminum from non-metallic materials according to particle size and material composition.
A vibrating screen can classify crushed materials by particle size. An air classifier can separate light materials such as plastic, foam and dust from heavier metal fractions.
A pulse dust collector can be configured according to the material condition and site layout. It helps collect dust and fine particles generated during crushing, conveying and sorting.
