scrap metal shredder machine price

Scrap metal shredder is a key equipment in the metal recycling industry. It is mainly used to crush scrap metal (such as automobiles, home appliances, industrial waste, etc.) into uniform fragments for subsequent sorting and smelting. Its core structure includes a feeding system, a crushing main unit, a power unit and a sorting and conveying system, and high-efficiency crushing is achieved through high-speed rotating hammers or blades.

When the equipment is working, the scrap metal is pre-treated and sent into the crushing chamber by a conveyor belt. It is crushed under strong impact, and qualified fragments are discharged through the screen, while oversized materials are recycled. Modern models are usually equipped with intelligent control systems to achieve automated operation.

According to processing capacity, scrap metal shredders can be divided into three categories: small (5-15 tons/hour), medium (15-30 tons/hour) and large (more than 30 tons/hour). Different models are suitable for different materials, such as light and thin scrap steel (automobile shells), heavy scrap steel (industrial waste) and mixed metals.

The price is affected by many factors: the greater the processing capacity and the higher the power, the more expensive it is; imported brands (such as SSI) are more expensive than domestic equipment; automation functions and wear-resistant materials (such as alloy cutters) also increase costs. At present, small machines cost about 100,000 to 500,000 yuan, medium-sized machines cost 500,000 to 2 million yuan, and large industrial-grade equipment can reach more than 2 million yuan. When purchasing, you need to consider the production requirements, budget and long-term benefits.
