Metal Scrap Shredder Machine for Scrap Metal Recycling Plant

A scrap metal shredder is a machine specifically designed for shredding scrap metal and plays a key role in metal recycling. It uses the shearing, squeezing, and tearing action of blades to break down various scrap metals into smaller pieces for subsequent recycling, transportation, and reprocessing.

Working Principle

• A motor powers the machine, which drives the main shaft through transmission mechanisms such as pulleys and speed reducers.

• Sharp blades are mounted on the main shaft. When scrap metal enters the shredding chamber, the high-speed rotating blades interact with fixed blades (available on some models) or the chamber walls to exert strong shear and squeezing forces on the scrap metal.

• These forces gradually break the scrap metal into desired fragments. For hard and tough metals, such as stainless steel and alloy steel, the machine uses strong torque and repeated squeezing and shearing processes to shred them.

Applicable Materials

1. Metals: Scrap steel, aluminum alloy, copper, stainless steel, and other metal products, such as used car hulls, metal shelves, and metal pipes. Shredders facilitate metal recovery and remelting.
2. Plastics: Various plastic products, such as plastic film, plastic pipes, plastic containers, and plastic pallets. Shredded plastics can be further processed into recycled plastic pellets for use in the manufacture of new plastic products.

3. Rubber: Rubber products such as used tires, rubber hoses, and rubber mats. Shredded rubber can be used to produce recycled rubber, rubber floor tiles, and other products.
4. Wood: Scrap wood, wooden pallets, wooden furniture, and tree branches. After processing in a shredder, wood can be used in industries such as biomass power generation, wood-based panels, and papermaking.
5. Paper: Waste paper, cardboard, and cartons. Shredded paper facilitates subsequent recycling in papermaking.
6. Fiber: Fiber products such as used clothing, carpets, and non-woven fabrics. These waste materials can be shredded and reprocessed into fiber products or other products.
