Factory photos of the 1600 scrap steel crusher feeding inlet and rubber curtain, showing the heavy-duty inlet structure and anti-rebound protection design for safer scrap steel crushing.
These factory photos show the feeding inlet structure and rubber curtain protection design of a 1600 scrap steel crusher. The feeding inlet is one of the key areas of the crusher because scrap materials enter the crushing chamber through this opening.
For scrap steel crushing, materials are often irregular, sharp and heavy. During crushing, some materials may rebound or splash back toward the feeding inlet. To improve operating safety, a rubber curtain is installed at the feeding inlet area. This rubber curtain helps block rebounding materials and reduces the risk of scrap pieces flying out from the inlet during operation.
What These Photos Show
The photos mainly show the feeding inlet area, heavy-duty steel structure, feeding opening and rubber curtain protection. The inlet can work together with a chain plate conveyor or belt conveyor to feed scrap steel and mixed metal materials continuously into the crusher.
Function of the Rubber Curtain
The rubber curtain is used as a protective barrier at the feeding inlet. When scrap metal enters the crusher chamber, the rotor and hammer heads crush and impact the material at high speed. Under certain conditions, small pieces or rebounding materials may move back toward the inlet. The rubber curtain helps reduce this risk by blocking and absorbing part of the rebound impact.
This design improves safety for operators and helps make the crushing process more stable. It is especially useful when processing light scrap steel, metal sheets, paint buckets, car body panels and mixed metal waste.
Feeding Inlet Structure
The feeding inlet guides materials into the crushing chamber. A strong inlet structure helps improve feeding efficiency, reduce material blockage and support continuous production. For a 1600 scrap steel crusher, the inlet area must be strong enough to withstand impact from large and irregular scrap materials.
Suitable Materials
This 1600 scrap steel crusher can be used for processing:
- Scrap steel
- Light metal scrap
- Car body panels
- Steel sheets
- Paint buckets
- Mixed metal waste
- Ferrous scrap recycling materials
Related Equipment
The feeding inlet is usually connected with a chain plate conveyor or belt conveyor. The complete scrap steel crushing line can also include a discharge conveyor, magnetic separator, vibrating screen, eddy current separator and dust collection system.
