An aluminum can crusher is dedicated recycling equipment designed to crush and shred waste aluminum beverage cans, soda cans, beer cans and other UBC (used beverage cans). After crushing, loose aluminum cans turn into uniform aluminum fragments, greatly reducing bulk volume, lowering transportation and storage costs, and improving the melting recovery efficiency for aluminum smelters. For scrap yards, recycling centers and metal processing enterprises, this machine is an essential unit in aluminum scrap recycling lines.
Waste aluminum cans are lightweight and occupy huge storage space. Without crushing, the transportation cost per ton of aluminum scrap remains very high. Our industrial aluminum can crusher breaks loose cans into small pieces, which also removes attached plastic labels and impurities in the crushing process. Clean aluminum fragments bring higher selling prices to recyclers. This machine can work independently or connect with conveyors, magnetic separators and balers to build a full automatic aluminum can recycling production line.
Our can crusher adopts heavy hammer crushing structure. It can compress bulk aluminum cans into fragments with reduction ratio up to 6:1 ~ 10:1. A large quantity of loose cans can be fed continuously by belt conveyor, suitable for continuous industrial production instead of small manual batch crushing.
The rotor and crushing hammers are made of high manganese alloy steel. The key wearing parts can be replaced separately to extend machine service life. The main body uses thickened steel plate welding, shockproof design to avoid vibration during high-load operation. Equipped with overload protection and reverse rotation function to prevent blockage caused by foreign hard materials.
Compared with old-style heavy metal shredders, this aluminum can crusher optimizes transmission structure. It saves power while keeping stable output. The open inspection cover allows quick cleaning and blade replacement without complex disassembly. We provide complete operation manual and after-sales technical guidance for overseas customers.
This aluminum can crushing machine fits many recycling business scenarios: scrap metal recycling yards, municipal waste sorting stations, beverage factory waste recovery workshops, aluminum smelting supporting pretreatment workshops, and waste management companies. We supply standalone crusher units as well as turnkey can recycling systems matched with magnetic separation, dust removal and hydraulic baling machines.
Raw material input: waste aluminum UBC cans, tin cans, thin aluminum scrap. Material enters the crushing chamber from the top hopper; high-speed rotating hammers strike and shear the cans repeatedly until the material reaches required size. Sieve screen controls final fragment size. Finished aluminum pieces drop through the screen and discharge from outlet. We customize capacity from 500kg/h to 5 ton/h according to client’s demand. All machines support CE certification.
Q: What capacity should I choose for my recycling plant?
A: It depends on your daily can supply and downstream baler or melting furnace capacity. Tell us your required output, we will recommend the matched model.
Q: Can this crusher process iron cans and mixed metal cans?
A: Yes. It can crush mixed metal cans. We suggest adding magnetic separator to separate iron and aluminum after crushing.
Q: Is after-sales service available overseas?
A: We supply online technical support, spare parts supply and overseas engineer commissioning service for large recycling lines.
