Aluminum Recycling Line

The aluminum recycling line uses a multi-stage processing system for scrap aluminum materials. The process can include shredding, hammer crushing, magnetic separation, screening, eddy current separation, dust collection and conveying according to material type and recycling requirements.

• Shredding: Bulky aluminum scrap such as thermal break aluminum, aluminum profiles, aluminum frames and mixed aluminum materials can first enter a twin shaft shredder for primary size reduction. The shredder reduces large materials into smaller strips or chunks, making them easier for downstream crushing and separation.

• Hammer crushing: After shredding, the material can be sent to a hammer crusher for further size reduction. High-speed hammers and wear-resistant liners crush the material into smaller pieces and help loosen aluminum from attached plastic, rubber or other non-metallic materials.

• Magnetic separation: The crushed material can pass through a magnetic separator to remove ferrous impurities such as screws, nails, hinges, handles and steel parts. This step prepares the material for further screening and non-ferrous metal separation.

• Screening: A vibrating screen can be used to classify the material by particle size. Different screen openings can be selected according to material condition and separator requirements. Proper screening helps improve the stability of the following separation process.

• Eddy current separation: After screening, the material can be processed by an eddy current separator. Conductive non-ferrous metals such as aluminum are pushed forward by the repulsive force generated through electromagnetic induction, while non-metallic materials such as plastic and rubber are discharged separately.

• Dust collection: A dust collection system can be configured according to material condition and site requirements. It helps reduce dust generated during crushing, conveying and sorting.

Scrap Aluminum Crushing and Processing Production Line Process:

• Heavy-duty structure: The main crusher and shredding equipment are built with a reinforced steel frame, wear-resistant liners and durable crushing parts for continuous aluminum scrap processing. The structure can be selected according to material size, feeding method and production capacity requirements.

• Shredding, crushing and size reduction: The line can include a twin shaft shredder and hammer crusher according to material condition. Bulky aluminum scrap is first reduced into smaller pieces, and then further crushed to prepare the material for screening, magnetic separation and eddy current separation.

• Wear-resistant parts: The shredder cutters, crusher hammers and liners can be made from wear-resistant alloy materials. Replaceable wear parts help simplify routine maintenance during long-term recycling operation.

• Magnetic separation for iron removal: After crushing, the material can pass through a magnetic separator to remove ferrous impurities such as screws, steel parts and other magnetic materials. This step prepares the aluminum material for further screening and non-ferrous metal separation.

• Screening and eddy current separation: According to material composition and output requirements, a vibrating screen and eddy current separator can be added after magnetic separation. The screen helps classify materials by particle size, while the eddy current separator helps separate aluminum and other conductive non-ferrous metals from non-metallic materials.

• Dust collection and material handling: The line can be equipped with dust collection and conveying systems according to material condition and site layout. Enclosed or semi-enclosed configurations can also be selected to help reduce dust during crushing, conveying and sorting.

• Suitable materials: The aluminum recycling line can process various recyclable aluminum materials, including scrap aluminum profiles, aluminum alloy scrap, thermal break aluminum, aluminum extrusions, cast aluminum parts, machine aluminum, UBCs, aluminum sheets and mixed aluminum scrap. For aluminum dross, aluminum ash or materials with high dust content, the configuration should be selected according to material condition and local handling requirements.

• Customizable line configuration: Feeding conveyor, twin shaft shredder, hammer crusher, magnetic separator, vibrating screen, eddy current separator, dust collector, discharge conveyor and electric control system can be customized according to material type, capacity requirement, output size and site layout.
