ELV crusher
Applicable Materials：Scrapped cars, car shells, scrapped household appliances, old bicycles, scrapped motorcycles, tin sheets, oil drums, color steel tiles, etc..
With the continuous growth of automobile ownership, the number of scrapped cars has also been increasing year by year. How to deal with these bulky car bodies and achieve efficient recycling of resources has become a focus of industry attention. The scrapped car body crusher is a professional processing equipment designed specifically for this need. It can crush and sort the entire old car body, ultimately transforming it into high-value, pure crushed steel, serving as a core piece of equipment in the scrap steel recycling industry chain.
After dismantling reusable parts, End-of-Life Vehicles (ELVs) car bodies represent a high-value steel scrap resource. The Haoxing ELV Car Body Shredding & Magnetic Separation Line is specifically engineered to process baled car shells and light mixed auto scrap. Through powerful hammer milling, multi-stage magnetic sorting, and integrated dust collection, this line converts discarded vehicle shells into high-purity shredded scrap (Grade A furnace feed) with over 98% ferrous purity.
Composition of the scrap car body crushing and magnetic separation production line
Scrap car body crushers belong to heavy-duty scrap steel crushing equipment and are specially used for processing whole vehicles, small cars that are flattened or unflattened, scrapped household appliances, bicycles, motorcycles, and thin metal materials such as scrap steel plates with a thickness of less than 6mm. This equipment typically consists of a crushing host, a high-torque motor, a feeding conveyance system, a discharging conveyance system, a magnetic separation system, and a central control cabinet. Users can flexibly configure motor power according to processing capacity and work intensity, balancing investment cost and production efficiency.
The line optimizes the "Shredding - Magnetic Separation - Dedusting" process for the specific characteristics of auto bodies (thin gauge, large volume, minor Cu/Al impurities):
Heavy-Duty Chain Plate Feeding: Car bales are fed smoothly via Chain Plate Conveyor with VFD speed control, preventing bridging and overload caused by bulky auto scrap.
Horizontal Hammer Mill Crushing (HXPS Series): Inside the HXPS Scrap Hammer Mill, high-speed hammers tear, strike, and knead the car body into dense, fist-sized nodules. This action effectively liberates paint, plastics, and foam from the ferrous metal surface.
Primary Magnetic Separation: The crushed mixture passes under a Magnetic Separator (Self-Cleaning Drum). Ferrous metal is attracted and ejected to the clean steel pile, while non-metallic residues (fluff, rubber) and non-ferrous metals are discharged separately.
Secondary Recovery (Optional): For tailings, an Eddy Current Separator can be integrated to recover valuable copper wiring and aluminum scrap from the fluff.
Dust Collection: The entire system is enclosed and connected to a Pulse Baghouse Dust Collector, efficiently capturing airborne dust and auto foam residue.
The core working process of the scrap automobile body crusher equipment is divided into two steps:High-speed hammer crushing: Driven by the motor, the specially designed hammers on the crusher rotor rotate at high speed and high torque. When scrap steel (such as car bodies) enters the crushing chamber through the feeding conveyor, it is continuously subjected to strong impact, tearing, and compression from the hammers, quickly being shredded and hammered into small pieces of crushed steel that meet the specifications. The entire crushing process is powerful and highly efficient, capable of rapidly disassembling even complete vehicles with complex structures like engines and frames.Iron-overload protection and automatic reset: When encountering hard objects that cannot be crushed, such as engine blocks or large iron pieces, the built-in iron-overload protection device automatically activates, instantly releasing the hard-to-crush material to prevent equipment damage, and immediately resets after removal, ensuring continuous and stable operation of the production line.Sorting and purification: The crushed material enters the magnetic separation system. Under the action of magnetic separation, pure ferrous metals are separated; while mixed non-ferrous metals (such as copper and aluminum), plastics, rubber, paint, glass, and other non-metallic substances are set aside. This not only produces high-purity crushed steel but also allows for further recovery of non-ferrous metals through manual or automated methods, achieving maximal resource utilization.
Main Equipment Composition of Scrap Car Crushing and Sorting Production Line：
One main scrap steel crusher, one dual-shaft shredder (optional), one central control electric cabinet, feed conveyor, discharge conveyor system, magnetic separator, eddy current separator (optional), etc. Motor configurations can be selected according to the user's investment size and work intensity.
Increased Bulk Density & High Purity Output: The powerful hammering and kneading action of the HXPS mill compresses processed material to a bulk density of approximately 1.3 t/m³ while effectively removing surface contaminants such as rust, paint, and coatings. The result is exceptionally clean shredded steel with minimal impurities. This high-purity, high-density scrap is ideal furnace-ready feed for Electric Arc Furnaces (EAF), allowing direct charging, reducing melting energy consumption, and significantly improving steelmaking efficiency.
Versatile Processing Capability: The system is engineered for true "one-machine, multi-use" flexibility. It efficiently handles complete End-of-Life Vehicles (with or without engines), flattened or unflattened car bodies, dismantled steel plates up to 3 meters wide and 6 meters long, as well as a wide range of household appliances including air conditioners, refrigerators, and washing machines.
Safe Operation & Easy Maintenance: Equipped with an advanced tramp iron protection system, the equipment prevents jamming and minimizes damage to hammers and liners caused by unshreddable objects, drastically reducing downtime and failure rates. The centralized PLC control system enables one-touch start/stop and real-time operational monitoring, ensuring high safety standards and user-friendly operation.
Outstanding Economic Benefits: Clean shredded steel produced by this line commands a significantly higher market price compared to mixed or unprocessed scrap. Additionally, the recovery of non-ferrous metals and other by-products generates extra revenue streams. Compared to traditional shearing or baling methods, the superior furnace feed quality reduces transportation cycles and charging frequency, delivering a substantial improvement in overall profitability.
Strong Environmental Contribution: By effectively separating non-metallic impurities from the steel, the process minimizes slag generation and exhaust emissions during downstream steelmaking. This aligns perfectly with the goals of the green circular economy and helps recyclers meet stringent environmental compliance standards.
Parameter description diagram for ELV crusher：
The scrapped car body crusher is not just a 'shredder'; it is a waste steel recycling system that integrates efficient crushing, intelligent protection, and precise sorting. It converts discarded car bodies, household appliances, and other light and thin materials into high-quality furnace materials that electric arc furnace steelmaking companies compete to purchase, truly realizing the concept of 'turning waste into treasure, and turning stones into gold.' As the scrap steel recycling industry becomes increasingly standardized and the steel industry pursues green furnace materials, this equipment is becoming the 'profit engine' for more and more recycling companies.
