Strength Showcase: Shandong Aluminum Alloy Recycler Installs Haoxing HXPS1400 Crusher – Belt Conveyor Line Ready for Trial Run

Project Overview

Project Background

Mr. Sun operates a professional aluminum alloy scrap recycling company in Linyi, Shandong Province, China. His facility processes approximately 800–1,000 tons per month of mixed aluminum scrap, including waste aluminum doors and windows, thermal break profiles, aluminum sheet offcuts, cast aluminum parts, and alloy wheels. Previously, Mr. Sun relied on a combination of manual dismantling and small-scale crushers, which resulted in low throughput, inconsistent aluminum purity, and high labor costs. As downstream secondary smelters tightened their furnace feedstock specifications, he decided to upgrade his processing line. After visiting multiple equipment manufacturers and conducting on-site material tests, Mr. Sun selected Haoxing Machinery's HXPS1400 Aluminum Alloy Crusher as the core unit, integrated with magnetic and eddy current separation to build a high-efficiency, high-purity aluminum shredding and sorting system.

Equipment Configuration

On-Site Status

Haoxing Machinery's technical team has successfully completed installation, mechanical alignment, and no-load testing of the entire line. The HXPS1400 rotor passed dynamic balancing verification, the hydraulic lid opener operates smoothly for maintenance access, and all belt conveyors and separators are synchronized. The photos were captured during the final pre-commissioning inspection, with loaded trial runs scheduled to commence shortly. The use of belt conveyors (rather than chain plate) provides smooth, continuous feeding and discharge while keeping initial investment and maintenance costs lower for this application.

Expected Performance and Benefits

• Design Capacity: Processes 8–12 tons per hour of aluminum alloy scrap, achieving a daily throughput of 60–90 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, ideal for furnace charging.

• Aluminum Purity: Magnetic separation followed by high-frequency eddy current separation is expected to deliver aluminum purity ≥98%, meeting stringent secondary smelter requirements.

• Labor Savings: The fully automated line requires only 2 operators (one for feeding supervision, one for monitoring), reducing manpower needs by 4–5 workers compared to the previous manual-intensive process.

• Payback Period: Based on current processing margins and the premium price commanded by clean shredded aluminum, the projected ROI is approximately 8–12 months.

Customer Testimonial

"Our old setup couldn't keep up with demand, and the inconsistent output purity was hurting our relationships with smelters. After testing Haoxing's HXPS1400 with our own material, we knew it was the right choice. The installation went very smoothly, and the belt conveyors are simple and reliable. We're excited to see the line in full production and expect a significant boost in both throughput and product quality." — Mr. Sun

Project Value

This installation highlights the effectiveness of Haoxing's HXPS series crushers for medium-scale aluminum alloy recyclers. For facilities processing 1,500–2,500 tons per month, the HXPS1400 combined with belt conveyor feeding and eddy current separation offers an optimal balance of investment cost, operational simplicity, and high-purity output. The system significantly reduces reliance on manual labor while producing a premium furnace-ready aluminum product that maximizes resale value.
