What metal materials can a metal shredder crush

Metal shredder plays an important role in scrap metal processing, as it can handle various types of materials. Here are some of the main materials that this machine can crush:

  • Scrap steel: including scrap steel plates, steel pipes, steel bars, steel wires, etc. These materials are usually relatively hard, but metal shredders can effectively break them into small pieces with their powerful crushing ability.
  • Scrap iron: covers various pig iron and wrought iron parts, such as scrap iron drums, iron frames, etc. Compared to scrap steel, scrap iron may contain more impurities, but metal shredders can also handle them.
  • Scrap aluminum: such as aluminum alloy window frames, aluminum containers, scrap aluminum plates, etc. Aluminum has a low density and a certain degree of toughness, and metal shredders can easily crush it.
  • Scrap copper: mainly refers to discarded copper pipes, copper wires, copper sheets, etc. Copper has good conductivity and ductility, but it can also be effectively broken under the strong force of a metal shredder.
  • Waste stainless steel: including waste stainless steel pipes, stainless steel plates, stainless steel appliances, etc. Stainless steel has high hardness and corrosion resistance, but metal shredders can still crush it with appropriate cutting tools and crushing methods.
  • Waste car parts: such as car shells, frames, engine casings, etc. These components are usually made of various metal materials, and metal shredders can break them into small pieces for subsequent recycling and processing.
  • Other composite metals: such as electrical enclosures, motor enclosures, etc. that contain metals and other materials. These composite metal materials can also be effectively crushed under the action of a metal shredder.
  • In addition, the metal shredder can also handle some lightweight metal materials, such as car shells, small lightweight pressure blocks, motorcycle racks, bicycle racks, refrigerator iron sheets, TV iron sheets, washing machine sheets, cans, paint buckets, oil buckets, waste color steel tiles, thin iron sheets and other metal materials with a thickness of less than 6 millimeters.
  • However, it should be noted that metal shredders are not suitable for crushing all types of metal materials. Some metal plates and blocks with a thickness exceeding 5 millimeters or a weight greater than 20 kilograms, as well as materials such as steel sections and rails, may exceed the crushing capacity of the metal shredder. In addition, sealed containers, conduits, sealed high-pressure gas cylinders (such as hydraulic gas cylinders), and flammable and explosive materials that may cause explosions, fires, etc. are also prohibited materials for metal shredders.

Overall, metal shredders have broad application prospects in the field of scrap metal recycling and treatment. They can effectively crush various types of metal materials, providing convenience for subsequent recycling and utilization.
