01

Equipment Introduction

AC Recycling Crusher

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.

AC Radiator Crushing and Separation Process

Equipment Dismantling and Material Preparation

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.

Controlled Feeding

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.

Crushing and Material Liberation

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.

Discharge and Particle-Size Control

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.

Magnetic Separation

After crushing, magnetic separation can recover exposed iron frames, steel brackets, screws and other ferrous components from the mixed material stream.

Screening and Material Spreading

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 Recovery

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 and Material Collection

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.

AC Recycling Crusher Features

Hammer Crushing and Sorting Line

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.

Suitable for AC Housings and Radiators

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.

Magnetic Separation Available

After crushing, the material can pass through a magnetic separator to separate ferrous metals such as iron and steel from the mixed material stream.

Eddy Current Separation Available

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.

Screening and Air Classification

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.

Optional Dust Collection

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.

PLC Control System

The production line can be equipped with a PLC control cabinet to coordinate the feeding, crushing, conveying, separation and dust collection equipment.

Customizable Line Configuration

The production line can be customized according to the material type, required capacity, output size and site layout. Available customization options include:

  • Crusher model

  • Motor power

  • Screen opening

  • Conveyor layout

  • Magnetic separator

  • Eddy current separator

  • Air classifier

  • Dust collection system

  • Control system
