Scrap steel and scrap aluminum crushing and magnetic separation, scrap aluminum sorting production line equipment layout
Scrap steel is recognized as an ideal raw material for steelmaking, but scrap steel has a complex composition, with many mixed materials such as non-ferrous metals, non-metals, and waste. To process clean scrap steel, higher requirements are placed on scrap steel processing equipment. However, the commonly used equipment such as balers and shears, because they do not have sorting and purification devices, cannot meet the steel mills' requirement for "clean material into the furnace." The crushed material obtained after being processed by the scrap steel crusher has high density and high purity, with basically no impurities. When manufacturing enterprises such as steel mills remelt the crushed material into new products, the energy consumption per unit is low, the output is high, and the overall economic benefits are obvious! The scrap steel and scrap aluminum crusher is recognized as the ideal equipment for processing scrap steel.

In the metal recycling industry, converting irregular scrap steel (car bodies, industrial offcuts, home appliances) into high-purity, high-density furnace-ready material is key to maximizing profit margins. Haoxing Machinery presents the HXPS and HXSS Series Scrap Steel Processing Line, a fully integrated system combining shredding, crushing, magnetic separation, eddy current separation, and dust collection, providing a one-stop, high-automation solution for global recyclers.

Flowchart of Scrap Steel and Scrap Aluminum Crushing, Sorting, and Magnetic Separation Production Line：
This is not a single machine but a complete closed-loop system engineered by Haoxing:
1.Feeding Stage (Chain Plate Conveyor): Heavy-duty chain plate conveyors transport bulky scrap smoothly to the Dual-Shaft Shredder inlet, with impact-resistant design handling direct drops of heavy material.
2.Pre-Shredding Stage (Dual-Shaft Shredder): For oversized, thick, or contaminated scrap, the Dual-Shaft Shredder uses high torque and low-speed shear force to rip material into smaller strips. This effectively detaches non-metallic attachments and protects the downstream hammer mill.
3.Core Crushing Stage (HXPS/HXSS Scrap Steel Crusher):
HXPS Series (Horizontal Hammer Mill): Ideal for light gauge scrap and car shells. High-speed rotating hammers strike material in the chamber, with output size controlled by bottom grates.
HXSS Series (Heavy-Duty Vertical Crusher): Designed for thick pipes and heavy melting scrap. Uses intense impact and attrition to produce dense, ball-like particles.
4.Separation & Purification Stage (Magnetic Separator + Eddy Current Separator):
Magnetic Separator (Self-Cleaning Drum): Crushed material passes via Belt Conveyor under a powerful magnetic field, extracting ferrous metals (iron/steel) with high efficiency.
Eddy Current Separator: For the non-magnetic tailings (containing copper, aluminum, zinc), high-frequency alternating magnetic fields induce eddy currents, repelling non-ferrous metals away from plastics and rubber. This achieves precise copper and aluminum recovery.
5.Environmental Control Stage (Pulse Baghouse Dust Collector): High-suction Dust Collectors are installed throughout the line, capturing airborne particles and light fluff via sealed ducts to ensure emission compliance.

Smart Interlocking Control: A PLC central system automatically adjusts Chain Plate Conveyor and Belt Conveyor speeds based on crusher motor load. This prevents blockages and reduces manual supervision requirements.
Durability & Low Maintenance: HXPS and HXSS series hammers are manufactured using high-chromium alloy composite casting, offering 30% longer service life than standard manganese steel. Hydraulic opening mechanisms allow for quick hammer and screen replacement.
High Purity Sorting: Combining Magnetic Separation with Eddy Current Separation achieves over 99% ferrous recovery and effective separation of copper and aluminum, directly increasing the market value of the output product.
Modular & Customizable Design: Based on site layout and infeed material, Haoxing offers models ranging from HXPS-600 to HXPS-2000. The system can flexibly integrate a Dual-Shaft Shredder for pre-processing tougher scrap.

Find common questions about scrap metal crushers, shredders, recycling lines, equipment selection, capacity configuration and operation requirements.
Yes. A complete scrap steel shredding production line can be configured with an eddy current separator if non-ferrous metal recovery is required. The final design depends on material composition and sorting requirements.
An eddy current separator is recommended when non-ferrous metals such as aluminum and copper need to be recovered from mixed materials. The final configuration should be selected according to material composition and recovery goals.
Yes. A detailed production line flow diagram can be provided according to your raw material, capacity requirement, site layout, feeding method, and separation process.
Yes. A production line can be adjusted later if capacity, raw material, or output requirements change. However, the initial process design should reserve enough space and interface for future upgrades.
The price depends on the required capacity, equipment configuration, feeding system, conveyor layout, magnetic separation, dust removal system, and automation level. A quotation should be based on the actual material and output requirements.
Iron can be separated by a magnetic separator after crushing. For mixed materials, additional equipment such as an eddy current separator, air separator, or screening system can be added to improve sorting efficiency.
A standard scrap steel crushing line usually includes a chain conveyor, shredder or crusher, discharge conveyor, magnetic separator, dust collection system, and electrical control cabinet. An eddy current separator can be added if non-ferrous metal separation is required.
