Strength Showcase: HXPS1600 Mixed Aluminum Scrap Crusher Installed at Fujian Recycling Facility – Belt Conveyor Line Ready for Commissioning

Project Background

Mr. Lin operates a well-established mixed aluminum scrap recycling company in Quanzhou, Fujian Province. His facility processes approximately 2,000–3,000 tons per month of diverse aluminum scrap, including contaminated aluminum profiles, thermal break doors and windows, aluminum castings, sheet offcuts, painted aluminum siding, and post-consumer packaging. The variability and high contamination levels in his feedstock made processing with his existing equipment challenging—frequent jams, inconsistent output size, and insufficient separation of ferrous and non-metallic impurities were cutting into profits. To address these issues, Mr. Lin sought a robust, high-capacity solution. After evaluating several manufacturers and conducting on-site trials with his own material, he selected Haoxing Machinery's HXPS1600 Mixed Aluminum Scrap Crusher configured with a full belt conveyor handling system and magnetic separation, providing a reliable and cost-effective upgrade for his high-volume operation.

Equipment Configuration

On-Site Status

Haoxing Machinery's technical crew has completed installation, alignment, and no-load testing of the HXPS1600 mixed aluminum scrap crushing line. The rotor assembly passed dynamic balancing verification, the hydraulic lid opener provides convenient maintenance access, and all belt conveyors and the magnetic separator are operating in synchronized sequence. The accompanying photographs show the line during the final pre-commissioning inspection, with loaded trial runs scheduled to commence shortly. The use of belt conveyors throughout the line ensures smooth, continuous material flow with minimal maintenance requirements, keeping the total investment cost competitive for this throughput class.

Expected Performance and Benefits

• Design Capacity: Processes 12–18 tons per hour of mixed aluminum scrap, achieving a daily throughput of 100–140 tons (based on an 8-hour shift).

• Output Size: Adjustable screen grate produces uniform aluminum granules 5–20 mm with a bulk density of approximately 1.2–1.4 t/m³, suitable for direct furnace charging.

• Metal Purity: The overband magnetic separator efficiently removes ferrous contaminants (iron, steel, nails) from the aluminum stream, significantly improving the value of the final product.

• Labor Savings: The fully automated line requires only 2 operators for supervision, reducing manpower needs by 5–6 workers compared to the previous semi-manual process.

• Payback Period: Based on current processing margins and the improved market price for clean, sized aluminum scrap, the projected ROI is approximately 9–12 months.

Customer Testimonial

"Our feedstock is extremely varied—some days it's clean extrusions, other days it's dirty castings with iron attachments. Our old setup struggled constantly. The Haoxing HXPS1600 was recommended by a colleague, and after seeing it handle our worst material during the trial, we were convinced. The installation went smoothly, and the belt conveyors are straightforward and easy to maintain. We anticipate a major improvement in both throughput and the consistency of our finished product." — Mr. Lin

Project Value

This installation underscores the versatility and ruggedness of Haoxing's HXPS1600 crusher for mixed and contaminated aluminum scrap applications. For recyclers processing 2,000–4,000 tons per month of diverse aluminum waste, the HXPS1600 with belt conveyor feeding and magnetic separation delivers a compelling combination of high throughput, operational simplicity, and low cost of ownership. The system produces a clean, sized aluminum product that commands premium pricing from secondary smelters and export markets, directly enhancing the facility's profitability and competitive position.
