Oil Filter Crusher Crushing Effect and Material Output

Project Overview

Clean Metal Chips with High Oil Removal Rate

When processing scrap oil filters (including automotive and industrial filters), the core demand is to completely separate the metal casing from the internal filter paper and residual oil. Our oil filter crusher achieves this with exceptional efficiency.

After single‑pass crushing, the output material consists of clean, densely shaped metal chips with nearly all oil residue removed. The oil separation rate consistently reaches above 98%, meaning the crushed metal is dry, non‑sticky, and ready for direct sale to steel mills or metal recycling plants. The internal filter paper and rubber seals are simultaneously torn into small pieces, easily removed by downstream air separation or magnetic separation.

Uniform Particle Size and Stable Throughput

The crusher is equipped with adjustable screens, allowing the finished metal chips to be controlled within 20‑40 mm – a size range widely accepted by most metal recyclers. The particle uniformity is over 95%, ensuring consistent melting or briquetting performance.

Typical processing capacity ranges between 0.8 and 1.5 tons per hour, depending on filter type and moisture content. The low‑speed, high‑torque shredding design minimizes dust and avoids overheating, preserving the value of the recovered metal.

High Metal Recovery and Low Loss

Because the crushing action fully liberates the metal shell from internal components, the overall metal recovery rate exceeds 99%. Almost no valuable ferrous material is lost to the reject stream. For customers handling waste oil filters in bulk, this directly translates into higher profit margins and lower disposal costs.
