Equipment Introduction

AC Recycling Crusher

Haoxing Machinery's AC Recycling Crusher, also called an AC housing and radiator crusher or copper-aluminum radiator recycling line, is used for processing waste air conditioner housings, outdoor units, copper-aluminum radiators, heat exchangers, water heater shells and other mixed recyclable materials.

The machine uses a high-speed rotor and hammer assembly to impact, tear and crush mixed AC materials inside the crushing chamber. During crushing, metal shells, radiator materials, plastic parts and other mixed components are reduced into smaller fragments for further sorting.

The complete line can include feeding conveyor, AC recycling crusher, discharge conveyor, magnetic separator, eddy current separator, vibrating screen, air classifier, pulse dust collector and PLC control cabinet.

After crushing, ferrous metals such as iron and steel can be separated by magnetic separator. Copper, aluminum and other conductive non-ferrous metals can be further separated by eddy current separator, screening or air classification according to material condition and recycling requirements.

The AC recycling crusher line is commonly used in air conditioner recycling plants, household appliance dismantling centers, radiator recycling projects, scrap metal sorting sites and resource recovery production lines.

AC Recycling Crushing and Sorting Process

The AC recycling crusher is designed for processing waste air conditioner housings, outdoor units, copper-aluminum radiators, heat exchangers, water heater shells and other mixed metal and plastic materials. The complete line can include crushing, magnetic separation, eddy current separation, screening, air classification, dust collection and a PLC control system.

Feeding and Crushing

During operation, waste AC housings, radiators and mixed appliance materials are fed into the crusher by a conveyor or feeding device. The high-speed rotor drives the hammers to repeatedly impact, tear and crush the material into smaller mixed fragments.

Magnetic Separation

After crushing, the material can pass through a magnetic separator. Ferrous metals such as iron and steel are separated from the mixed material stream for separate collection.

Eddy Current Separation

The remaining material can then enter an eddy current separator. Conductive non-ferrous metals such as aluminum and copper can be separated from non-metallic materials according to particle size, conductivity and equipment configuration.

Screening and Air Classification

A vibrating screen and air classification system can be added according to the material condition. The screen classifies materials by particle size, while the air classifier separates light materials such as plastic, foam and dust from heavier metal materials.

Dust Collection and PLC Control

A pulse dust collector can be configured to collect dust and fine particles generated during crushing, conveying and sorting. The PLC control cabinet coordinates the feeding, crushing, conveying, separation and dust collection equipment for continuous operation.

AC Recycling Crushing and Sorting Line Configuration

A complete AC recycling crushing and sorting line can include:

  • AC recycling crusher main unit

  • Feeding conveyor

  • Discharge conveyor

  • Magnetic separator

  • Eddy current separator
