Radiator Copper Aluminium Separator Machine for Scrap Metal Recycling

The Radiator Copper Aluminium Separator Machine is a specialized piece of equipment for recycling copper and aluminum from waste air conditioner radiators, automotive radiators, and industrial heat exchangers. Through processes such as mechanical stripping or crushing, magnetic separation, and airflow separation, it achieves the separate recycling of different metals, improving the resource utilization rate of waste radiators.

Based on the raw material structure and processing scale, the Radiator Copper Aluminium Separator Machine is mainly divided into roller stripping equipment and crushing and sorting production lines.

The stripping equipment mainly consists of a feeding mechanism, pressure rollers, cutters, and a transmission system. The equipment conveys the radiator through the pressure rollers and uses cutters to strip the aluminum fins, separating the copper tubes from the aluminum. This method is suitable for relatively regular single-layer or double-layer radiators, and can better preserve the integrity of the copper tubes.

Crushing and sorting production lines are suitable for large-volume mixed waste and typically include a twin-shaft shredder, a secondary crusher, a magnetic separator, an air classifier, and a pulse dust collector. After crushing, the material is first magnetically separated to remove ferrous impurities, and then copper and aluminum are separated based on their differences in density and aerodynamic properties. Some production lines can process materials to approximately 20-30 mm to meet subsequent sorting requirements.

When selecting copper-aluminum radiator separation equipment, the type of raw material, processing capacity, and final metal purity should be the primary considerations.

For air conditioning radiators with regularly arranged copper tubes and relatively uniform specifications, stripping equipment is preferred to reduce the crushing process and facilitate the separate recycling of copper tubes and aluminum fins. For automotive radiators, radiators of mixed specifications, and large stockpiles of waste heat exchangers, a complete crushing and sorting production line is more suitable.

For recycling companies, it is recommended to provide photos of the radiators, their dimensions, number of layers, and expected daily processing capacity before procurement. This information will allow the equipment supplier to determine whether to use a single-machine stripping solution or an automated crushing and sorting line.
