How to Choose the Perfect Aluminium Recycling Machine

With20-year-old aluminum windows now entering replacement cycles (generating 500M+ tons/year) and toxic leaching from landfills, efficient recycling is critical. Yet 73% of recyclers struggle with:

 

❌ Contaminated output from manual processing

❌ Inefficient shredding of diverse scrap (thin foil vs. engine blocks)

❌ Rising disposal regulations

 

ENERPAT’s aluminium recycling machines solve this – here’s how to match equipment to your scrap.


7 Aluminium Shredders Compared: Find Your Fit

Single-Shaft Shredder

Single-Shaft Shredder(Light/Heavy)

Ideal For:Foil, cans, packaging (2-15 T/H)

Key Specs:

l Space-saving design

l Self-cleaning blades → 40% faster sorting

Case: Korean e-waste plant boosts yield by$220K/year.

Hydraulic Twin-Shaft Shredder

Hydraulic Twin-Shaft Shredder

Ideal For: Cast alloys, cylinder heads

Key Specs:

l 264-400 kW dual motors

l 20,000+ ton blade lifespan

Case: German auto supplier shreds 60T/day of hardened Al.

Compact Single-Shaft Aluminium Recycling Machine

Compact Single-Shaft Aluminium Recycling Machine 

Ideal For: Labs, small recyclers (0.5-2 T/H)

Key Specs:

l 7.5-37 kW → 50% space reduction

Case: Singapore collection center processes 10T/day cans.


Matching Core Performance Parameters to Aluminium Characteristics

  • Motor Power:Choose based on aluminum hardness. For instance, thin aluminum shavings may require 18.5-75kW motors, while high-hardness aluminum (e.g., automotive aluminum blocks) necessitates 132×2-200×2kW motors.

  • Shredding Chamber Size:Large aluminum waste (e.g., automotive shells) requires a chamber width of 2000-3000mm, while thinner waste can utilize smaller sizes.

  • Screen Configuration: Round hole screens (20-40mm) are suitable for coarse shredding, while hexagonal screens (10-30mm) are ideal for fine sorting.

  • Electrical System:Siemens/Schneider PLC systems support overload automatic reversal and material shortage shutdown, ensuring device stability.


ENERPAT Turnkey Aluminum Recycling Line

Urgency:

  • 20-year-old aluminum windows are entering replacement cycles, generating over 5 million tons of waste annually.

  • Improper disposal (landfilling/incineration) releases toxic substances (PA66+GF, rubber) into soil and air.

  • Manual dismantling is inefficient, leading to impurity mixing and reduced recycled aluminum quality.


ENERPAT Solution:

The Turnkey Aluminum Recycling Line integrates shredding, precise sorting, and reprocessing, achieving over 98% aluminum purity and recovering multiple materials (plastics, copper, zinc). With a capacity of 15 tons per hour, this line transforms waste into high-value resources, supporting circular economy goals.
