Scrap metal processing equipment primarily includes crushing, shearing, and briquetting, and is widely used for recycling metals such as scrap steel and aluminum. The following are the main equipment types and features:
1. Scrap Crusher
Function: Crushes scrap steel into uniform particles using hammer impact, suitable for processing thin and lightweight scrap such as scrapped cars and home appliances.
Advantages: High crushed material purity, high smelting yield, low energy consumption, and reduced sulfur and phosphorus content and air pollution.
Technological Upgrades: Some equipment is equipped with an AI sorting system, achieving a sorting accuracy of 99.7% and reducing costs by 60%.
2. Gantry Shear
Applications: Processes low-carbon, thin and lightweight scrap such as automobile bodies, and is suitable for steel mills and non-ferrous metal smelting industries.
Performance: Features: Shearing force up to 660 tons, supports a variety of power options (conventional motor, variable frequency motor, servo motor), and offers long blade life.
3. Metal Briquetting Machine
Purpose: Compresses scrap steel, aluminum, and other materials into uniform shapes for easy transportation and smelting.
Technical Parameters: For example, a 30-ton briquetting machine has a power of 22kW, is customizable, and has a low hydraulic system failure rate.
4. Scrapped Vehicle Dismantling Equipment
Features: Made of high-strength, wear-resistant materials, a closed-loop design enhances shear force, and integrated circuit controls for easy operation.
Precautions: Avoid load rotation to extend equipment life.
Industry Trends
Policy Drivers: After the implementation of the new solid waste law in 2025, industry concentration will increase, and the gross profit margins of leading companies may exceed 25%.
Technological Innovation: Hydrogen-based direct reduction technology reduces scrap steel smelting energy consumption by 47%, making intelligent sorting and recycled aluminum substitution a promising area.
