Can Crusher

Haoxing Machinery's Can Crusher is a specialized hammer mill designed for the efficient size reduction of used aluminum cans, beverage cans, beer cans, and thin sheet metal scrap. Since cans are manufactured from either aluminum or tinplate (tin-coated steel), Haoxing has engineered this crusher to handle both material types effectively. Utilizing a high-speed rotor and hammers, the machine thoroughly pulverizes cans into dense, granular metal fragments, significantly reducing volume, lowering transportation costs, and improving furnace charging efficiency.

Applications

• Scrap aluminum processing at recycling centers.

• Feedstock pre-processing for secondary aluminum smelters.

• In-house scrap recovery at can manufacturing plants.

• Aluminum-plastic composite separation and recovery.

• Core processing stage in complete aluminum can recycling lines.

Working Principle:
Cans are fed into the crushing chamber where a high-speed rotor equipped with hammers delivers powerful impact and grinding forces. Properly sized metal granules pass through a bottom screen and are conveyed to an air cyclone separation system, which separates metal from non-metallic contaminants. An integrated dust collection system ensures clean, environmentally compliant operation.

Aluminum Can Recycling Line Configuration:
A complete aluminum can crushing and recovery line typically includes:

• Can Crusher (Main Unit)

• Infeed Conveyor

• Discharge Conveyor

• Magnetic Separator

• Eddy Current Separator (Optional for aluminum/plastic separation)

• Air Cyclone Separation System

• Pulse Dust Collector

• Centralized Control Cabinet

The integrated line automates the entire process from feeding to final clean granule production, minimizing labor and operational costs.

1. High Torque, High Throughput, Low Energy Consumption
   The crushing chamber delivers high torque and throughput. Hammers and liners are made from high-wear-resistant materials. Operation is characterized by low energy use, high efficiency, and uniform output. The machine is simple to operate and easy to maintain.

2. Effective Contaminant Removal, Environmentally Friendly
   Efficiently removes adherent dirt, sludge, and packaging residues from can surfaces. The dust suppression and collection system ensures no secondary pollution, meeting environmental standards.

3. Customizable Output Particle Size
   Output granule size can be customized to user requirements, including flakes, granules, or chips, providing flexibility for downstream smelting or processing.

4. Multi-Stage Separation for High Purity
   Through magnetic separation, eddy current separation, and air classification, the system achieves aluminum/plastic separation, aluminum/steel separation, and rubber/aluminum separation. This significantly reduces impurities and yields high-purity aluminum granules suitable for direct smelting.

5. Multiple Models, Flexible Configuration
   Haoxing offers various can crusher models differing in feed opening size, motor power, and output granule size. Customers can select the most cost-effective configuration based on their specific throughput and application requirements.
