Equipment Introduction
The Baled Scrap Shredding Plant is a complete recycling line designed for opening, shredding, conveying, and separating compressed scrap metal bales. It is suitable for recycling yards, scrap metal processors, steel mills, and metal trading companies that need to process compacted scrap into loose, clean, and higher-value recycled material.
The line can be configured with a heavy-duty twin shaft shredder, slat conveyor, discharge conveyor, magnetic separator, eddy current separator, dust collection system, and centralized control cabinet. According to the material composition and required output size, the system can be used as a standalone shredding line or connected with a downstream crushing and sorting line.
After processing, compacted scrap bales are opened and reduced into loose pieces, making it easier to remove ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, plastics, rubber, and other impurities. The plant improves feeding efficiency, reduces manual dismantling work, and prepares material for transportation, melting, or further crushing.
Working Principle
Compressed scrap bales are fed into the shredder by a slat conveyor or loader. Two low-speed, high-torque cutter shafts rotate in opposite directions and grab the bale into the cutting chamber. The blades tear, squeeze, and shear the compacted material until the bale is opened and shredded into loose pieces.
The discharged material is transported by conveyor to a magnetic separator for ferrous metal recovery. If required, an eddy current separator can be added to separate aluminum and other non-ferrous metals. Dust collection and material spreading devices can also be configured according to site requirements.
Features and Advantages
Designed for compacted scrap bales with strong feeding and tearing capacity.
Low-speed and high-torque shredding reduces impact, noise, and dust compared with high-speed crushing.
Helps open dense bales and improves downstream magnetic separation and manual sorting efficiency.
Can be configured as a simple bale shredder line or a complete shredding and sorting plant.
Heavy-duty structure, replaceable blades, automatic reverse protection, and stable continuous operation.
Suitable for recycling yards that process mixed scrap with different density and bale sizes.
