Aluminum Can Shredder

An aluminum can shredder is a machine designed to reduce aluminum cans into smaller pieces or shreds. This process has several practical purposes, including recycling, waste reduction, and easier transportation of the shredded material. The aluminum can shredder operates by using blades or rotating knives to cut the cans into smaller fragments.

The shredding process begins when aluminum cans are fed into the machine's input chamber. The cans then pass through a series of blades or rotary cutters that slice them into smaller pieces. The resulting shredded aluminum can pieces can be collected in a container or further processed for recycling purposes.

Aluminum can shredder play a vital role in recycling efforts because aluminum is a valuable material that can be reused many times without losing its quality. By shredding aluminum cans, the recycling process becomes more efficient, and the metal can be easily melted down and reformed into new products.

These Aluminum can shredder also aid in waste reduction and environmental preservation by reducing the volume of aluminum cans in landfills or waste disposal sites. Moreover, shredded aluminum cans take up less space, making it easier to transport and handle the material for recycling purposes.

Working principle

The working principle of the aluminum can shredder mainly relies on high-speed rotating or moving knives to cut materials. After the material is fed into the cutting area of the wire cutting machine, the knives start to work and gradually cut it into fine wires. This process is achieved through a precisely designed transmission and control system to ensure the accuracy and efficiency of cutting. After cutting, the metal wire is discharged through the discharge port

Features

1) Adopting extra-thick plate precision machining combined frame; large angle, hexagonal power rotary shaft; large diameter and large hopper, suitable for large material level feeding

2) PLC control system, with automatic overload protection and automatic reverse switching function

3) Unique hydraulic push system, speeds up shredding speed, especially suitable for light materials

4) Each dynamic blade has four cutting edges, which can be reused by rotating 90 degrees after wear

5) Each fixed blade has two cutting edges, which can be reused by rotating 180 degrees after wear

6) Low speed operation and quiet

7) Screen aperture can be adjusted according to customer requirements

8) The crusher can be adjusted according to the customer's specific requirements for processing volume, processing materials, etc.

Applications

Aluminum Can Crusher is suitable for all kinds of metal scraps, scrap aluminum comes from various sources including buildings, vehicles, computers, cookers, gearbox housings, radiators, plates, castings, clips, extrusions, profiles, window/door frames, etc.

Used beverage cans/containers are the largest component of processed aluminum scrap, and most UBC scrap is remanufactured into aluminum cans.
