Product Details
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.
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.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.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.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.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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find common questions about scrap metal crushers, shredders, recycling lines, equipment selection, capacity configuration and operation requirements.
Q Can used cans be processed by a can crusher?
A
Yes. Used cans can be processed by a can crusher or can flattening machine to reduce volume, improve transportation efficiency, and prepare the material for recycling.
Q Does can crushing meet environmental protection requirements?
A
Can crushing is part of metal recycling, but compliance depends on local environmental regulations, dust control, noise reduction, wastewater treatment, and production permits. It is recommended to configure suitable dust removal and environmental protection equipment according to local requirements.
Q How many cans can a can crusher process per hour?
A
The capacity of a can crusher depends on the machine model and feeding method. Small models can usually process about 0.5 to 1 ton per hour, while larger models can reach 1 to 5 tons per hour or more.
