Dual Shaft Shredder and Magnetic Separator for Scrap Metal Recycling

In the fields of scrap metal recycling, UBC (used aluminium beverage cans) processing, and mixed waste sorting, an integrated system comprising a twin-shaft shredder and a belt-type magnetic separator enables continuous material shredding and metal separation. This effectively increases metal recovery rates, reduces manual sorting costs, and enhances overall processing efficiency.

Dual-shaft shredders ensure uniform shredding, improving subsequent sorting results.

One of the core components of this system is the dual-shaft shredder. Featuring a low-speed, high-torque design, the equipment utilises two sets of counter-rotating cutter shafts to shear, tear, and shred materials. It is capable of processing a wide range of materials, including used beverage cans, scrap metal packaging, wooden pallets, and mixed plastic and metal waste.

Compared to traditional single-stage shredding equipment, the twin-shaft shredder is capable of reducing large-sized materials into particles of a relatively uniform size, thereby creating stable feed conditions for subsequent magnetic separation. Uniform particle size not only helps improve the precision of metal separation but also reduces the risk of blockages during the conveying and screening stages.

Belt-type magnetic separator for automatic separation of ferrous metals

After shredding, the material enters the conveying system directly and undergoes metal separation via a belt-type magnetic separator. The equipment is fitted with a high-strength permanent magnet drum that continuously attracts ferrous materials, enabling the automatic separation of ferrous metals from non-ferrous metals, plastics, wood, and other materials.

In actual production, the magnetic separator continuously recovers steel materials, reducing the workload of manual sorting and improving processing efficiency. For projects involving the recycling of wooden pallets containing nails, the magnetic separator effectively removes iron nails from the wood; in the processing of mixed waste, it rapidly extracts magnetic metals such as scrap steel and iron sheets.

Suitable for a wide range of waste resource recovery scenarios

The combination of a twin-shaft shredder and a belt-type magnetic separator offers strong adaptability and can be widely applied in fields such as the recycling of used beverage cans, the processing of metal packaging, the recycling of wooden pallets, the processing of automotive dismantling waste, and the resource recovery of industrial solid waste.

From a resource recovery perspective, the system achieves rapid recovery of ferrous metals through the coordinated operation of front-end shredding and back-end magnetic separation, thereby improving the utilisation rate of reusable resources. At the same time, the continuous production model reduces downtime, making it suitable for large-scale operations by medium to large recycling enterprises.
