Scrap Aluminum Crusher

The aluminum scrap crusher is specialized equipment designed for the aluminum recycling industry. It is engineered to process various types of scrap aluminum—such as raw aluminum castings, architectural aluminum profiles, light-gauge wrought aluminum, and mixed aluminum scrap—for recycling purposes. It performs the dual functions of crushing scrap aluminum products and separating impurities. By processing mixed scrap containing iron, plastic, and rubber, it produces uniformly sized aluminum granules. This machine serves as a core unit in the preliminary stage of the aluminum recycling and smelting process.

Working Principle of the Aluminum Scrap Crusher
The motor drives the rotor, causing the alloy hammers to rotate at high speed. Inside the crushing chamber, the material is subjected to impact, striking, and kneading actions by the hammers; it undergoes repeated collisions between the hammers and the liner plates, effectively separating embedded impurities—such as iron, plastic, and rubber—from the aluminum material. Material meeting size specifications is discharged through the bottom screen, while oversized pieces continue to be crushed; the output particle size can be adjusted by changing the screen.

Process Flow for Scrap Aluminum Crushing and Recycling Line
Raw material pre-treatment → Feeding/conveying → (Optional pre-shredding) → Main crushing (aluminum scrap) → Magnetic separation (iron removal) → Air separation (light impurity removal) → Eddy current separation → Screening/grading → Finished product conveying/baling → Pulse dust collection.

Applicable Materials:
1. Cast Aluminum (Raw/Machined): Engine blocks, transmission housings, motor housings, aluminum pump bodies, dismantled automotive aluminum parts, aluminum wheels, and sand-cast aluminum parts (pre-shredding is recommended for thick, large castings).
2. Construction Aluminum Profiles: Scrap aluminum alloy doors and windows, thermal-break aluminum profiles, industrial aluminum profiles, aluminum formwork, aluminum tubes/rods/plates, and aluminum offcuts.
3. Light/Thin Wrought Aluminum: Beverage cans, aluminum basins and pots, aluminum sheet/siding, automotive aluminum body panels, aluminum radiators, aluminum wire, and aluminum chips/turnings.
4. Mixed/Contaminated Aluminum: Mixed scrap aluminum containing iron, rubber, plastic, or oil/grease; utilizes magnetic separation, air separation, and eddy current separation to remove impurities and purify the material.

Aluminum Scrap Crushing and Recycling Line
1. Chain-plate conveyor feeding: Ensures stable material feed; suitable for heavy loads.
2. Pre-shredding (optional): Coarse shredding of large, thick castings to reduce the load on the main crusher.
3. Main crushing and liberation: Impact crushing to liberate aluminum from impurities such as iron, rubber, and plastic.
4. Magnetic separation: Removes magnetic materials (e.g., steel parts, cast iron) for separate iron recovery.
5. Air separation: Removes lightweight debris such as plastic, rubber, and dust.
6. Eddy current separation: Thoroughly separates non-metallic materials to enhance aluminum purity.
7. Trommel screening: Grades the material; oversized pieces are returned to the machine for secondary crushing.
8. Finished product conveying and baling: High-purity aluminum granules are transferred to a storage hopper; material can be baled for smelting.
9. Dust removal system: Fully enclosed dust collection across the line; utilizes pulse-jet dust removal to ensure emissions meet standards.
