What is the process flow for processing scrap metal

The process flow of metal shredder for processing scrap metal usually includes the following steps:

• Loading materials
• Manual sorting: Before the scrap metal enters the shredder, manual sorting is usually required to remove impurities and non-metallic substances, ensuring the normal operation and crushing effect of the shredder.
• Conveyor equipment: The sorted scrap metal is fed into the feeding port of the shredder through conveyor equipment such as conveyor belts, grab buckets, etc. This step ensures that scrap metal can enter the shredder continuously and stably, improving production efficiency.
• Tear it apart
• Tearing chamber: Waste metal enters the shredding chamber of the shredder and is subjected to the impact, shredding, and squeezing effects of the rotor and blade.
• Knife shaft rotation: The two knife shafts of the dual axis shredder rotate independently under the drive of the reducer, achieving mutual meshing of the knife teeth. Under the joint action of two blade shafts, the scrap metal is gradually broken into small pieces.
• Coarse crushing effect: Through the coarse crushing process of the equipment, the waste metal is crushed into a particle size suitable for subsequent processing.
• screening
• Bottom sieve: The shredded scrap metal is screened through the sieve at the bottom of the equipment.
• Particle size control: The size of the sieve determines the particle size of the crushed scrap metal. Larger materials are left in the shredding chamber to continue shredding, while smaller materials enter the next processing stage through a sieve.
• Magnetic sorting
• Magnetic sorting machine: The screened waste metal enters the magnetic sorting machine for sorting.
• Separation of ferrous metals: Magnetic sorting machines use the action of magnetic fields to separate ferrous metals from scrap metals for subsequent recycling and utilization.
• Eddy current sorting
• Eddy current sorting machine: Waste metals that have undergone magnetic sorting enter the eddy current sorting machine for further sorting.
• Separation of non-ferrous metals: The eddy current separator utilizes the principle of eddy current to separate non-ferrous metals (such as aluminum, copper, etc.) from scrap metals, achieving the separation and recovery of different types of metals.
• pack
• Collecting metals: Metals that have been sorted and processed are collected.
• Packaging processing: In order to facilitate transportation and storage, collected metals usually need to be packaged. The packaged metal blocks are more compact and stable, which is beneficial for subsequent reuse.
