The Aluminum Crankcase Crusher is designed for crushing cast aluminum automotive parts such as aluminum crankcases, engine housings, gearbox housings, cylinder blocks, and other machine aluminum scrap. It helps recyclers reduce bulky cast aluminum parts into smaller pieces for separation, transportation, remelting, or further processing.
By crushing aluminum crankcases and engine housings, the machine helps expose embedded steel parts, separate impurities, and improve the value of recovered aluminum. Magnetic separation and eddy current separation can be selected according to the composition of the incoming material.
Aluminum crankcases and cast aluminum parts are fed into the crushing chamber by conveyor or loader. The rotor drives high-strength hammers to rotate at high speed. The material is repeatedly impacted, torn, and crushed between the hammer, lining plate, and screen until it reaches the required size.
The crushed material is discharged through the screen and transported to the separation section. Magnetic separation removes ferrous parts such as bolts, shafts, and steel inserts. If the material contains mixed non-metallic impurities, an eddy current separator and manual sorting platform can be added for improved aluminum recovery.
Targeted design for cast aluminum automotive parts and machine aluminum scrap.
Strong impact crushing force for thick engine housings and crankcase material.
Helps release embedded iron parts and improve downstream separation efficiency.
Screen aperture can be customized for different smelting and recycling requirements.
Wear-resistant hammers and liners reduce maintenance frequency for hard cast aluminum.

Note: Capacity varies with casting size, wall thickness, iron content, feeding continuity, and required discharge size.
Find common questions about scrap metal crushers, shredders, recycling lines, equipment selection, capacity configuration and operation requirements.
To recommend a suitable aluminum crankcase crusher, it is helpful to provide material photos or videos, crankcase size, material thickness, hourly capacity requirement, required final size, voltage, workshop layout, and whether you need conveyors or sorting equipment. With these details, the crusher model and full line configuration can be selected more accurately.
Before crushing, sealed containers, explosive materials, and highly flammable residues should be removed. Operators should also check whether the feeding size is suitable for the machine. Proper overload protection, emergency stop devices, dust control, and regular maintenance can help improve safety during operation.
Maintenance frequency depends on the working hours, material hardness, feeding size, and impurity content. Aluminum itself is relatively soft, but steel parts inside the crankcase can increase wear. Regular inspection of hammers, blades, liners, bearings, and screens is important to keep the crusher working efficiently.
Yes. A complete aluminum crankcase recycling line can include a feeding conveyor, crusher, discharge conveyor, magnetic separator, eddy current separator, dust collector, and control system. The exact configuration depends on the material condition and the required purity of the final aluminum scrap.
A feeding conveyor is recommended for stable and safe operation, especially when processing large quantities of crankcases. It helps control the feeding speed, reduce manual labor, and keep the crusher running continuously. For small batches, manual feeding may be possible, but mechanical feeding is better for long-term production.
The capacity varies according to the machine model and material condition. Small and medium models can meet general recycling needs, while larger industrial crushers can process several tons per hour. Clean aluminum crankcases are usually easier to crush, while materials mixed with steel parts or heavy castings may reduce the actual output.
The right model depends on the size of the crankcases, material thickness, feeding method, required capacity, final output size, and whether the material contains steel impurities. For small recycling yards, a medium-capacity crusher may be enough. For large-scale aluminum recycling plants, a heavy-duty model with stronger power and continuous feeding is recommended.
The final size depends on the crusher model, rotor design, screen opening, and customer requirements. In most recycling applications, aluminum crankcases are crushed into smaller, more uniform pieces for easier melting, separation, or storage. If you need a specific output size, the machine can be configured accordingly.
Yes, many aluminum crankcases may contain bolts, bearings, steel inserts, or other mixed metal parts. A properly configured crusher can handle this kind of mixed scrap, but the following sorting process is also important. A magnetic separator is often used after crushing to remove ferrous impurities from the aluminum material.
An aluminum crankcase crusher is used to crush waste aluminum engine crankcases, gearbox housings, motor housings, and other cast aluminum scrap into smaller pieces. It helps reduce material volume, improve transportation efficiency, and prepare the scrap for sorting, melting, or further recycling.
