Why recycle aluminum?
Because recycling does not alter the component, aluminum can be recycled over and over again with no loss of quality. Thanks to this property, aluminum is one of the most recycled and also most recyclable materials in the consumer and industrial waste stream. Recycling of aluminum creates significant cost savings over the production of brand new aluminum, even when the cost of recycling, collection and separation are considered. Besides saving cost, it also benefits the environment as recycled aluminum uses only 5% of the energy that would be needed for making new aluminum. Aluminum shredder such as aluminum can shredder is one of the popular recycling machines in aluminum recycling.
Scrap aluminum comes from different sources including structures, vehicles, computers, pots and pans, transmission housings, radiators, sheets, castings, clips, extrusions, profiles, window/door frames and more.
Used beverage cans/containers are the largest components of processed aluminum scrap, with the majority of UBC scrap turned back into aluminum cans.
How to recycle aluminum?
In aluminum’s recycling process, the collected aluminum scraps are first of all shredded into small pieces. After size reduction, the aluminum shreds will be fed into a de-coater to remove paint or other coatings. At last, the de-coated shreds will be melted in a furnace and then cast into ingots which act as a raw material for making new aluminum products.
Applications of Aluminum Shredding Machine
Used beverage can (UBC), aluminum briquette and bales, soda cans.
Gas cylinder, spray cream can, hair styling
spray can, aerosol paint can.
Aluminum profile, aluminum extrusion, aluminum sheet, alloy.
Aluminum wires,
coils.
Taint tabor, Zorba, breakage.
Shredding Aluminum Cans
The scrap aluminum materials are collected and baled. Next they go to a recycling plant, where they are shredded, remelted and solidified again. In the process of shredding, an aluminum can shredder is the most important part of the aluminum recycling machine.
A UBC shredder downsizes soda cans, saving the re-melting energy from processing. Plus the hydraulic press continuously keeps aluminum scrap in touch with the rotor. The resulting materials are 40-60mm shredded particles, which are impeccable for melting and forging. We would like to recommend a single shaft shredder and granulator. A granulator is then used to further size reduce the 40mm particles to 12mm.
WANROOETECH Aluminum Shredder / Aluminum Can Shredder
WANROOETECH shredder uses various kinds of rotors, knives and cutting technologies for shredding different types of aluminum scrap. Our single shaft shredder is ideal for shredding aluminum cans and it is popular as an aluminum can shredder, while the dual shaft shredder PNDS series is excellent for shredding aluminum alloy frames from doors or windows.
