Against the backdrop of the continuous increase in scrap volume in industries such as automobiles and air conditioning, as well as the deepening of the "dual carbon" target, the recycling of waste water tank radiators has ushered in a key technological upgrade. Recently, the new generation of complete dismantling equipment for water tank radiators (copper aluminum water tank crushing and sorting line) has become the mainstream equipment in the field of renewable resource recycling with its core advantages of dry environmental protection, high-purity separation, and full automation. It has completely bid farewell to the backward mode of traditional manual dismantling and incineration of copper, and promoted the transformation of waste radiator recycling towards scale, green, and high-value.
1、 Technological innovation: dry physical sorting, efficient dissociation of copper, aluminum, and iron
This complete set of equipment adopts a fully dry physical separation process, with crushing, magnetic separation, and airflow specific gravity separation as the core technologies. It does not require water or waste liquid discharge, and operates in a negative pressure dust removal environment throughout the process, achieving precise separation of copper, aluminum, and iron metals. The core processes and technical highlights are as follows:
Double stage crushing, full dissociation: First, the large radiator is roughly crushed into 5-10cm strips by a double axis shredder, and then finely ground to ≤ 20mm particles by a vertical hammer crusher, completely stripping copper, aluminum, and iron, solving the problem of complex structures that are difficult to disassemble manually.
Multi level sorting, full purity: Strong magnetic drum separates iron parts first, with a sorting rate of over 99%; Subsequently, the airflow separator uses density difference to separate lightweight aluminum, which is then finely purified by a specific gravity shaker. The final purity of copper and aluminum can reach 98% -99.9%, and the metal loss rate is controlled within * * 2% -3% * *.
Intelligent and environmentally friendly, worry free and efficient: the entire line is centrally controlled by PLC, requiring only 2-3 people to operate; Equipped with a pulse dust collector, the dust removal rate exceeds 99%, completely solving dust pollution and easily passing environmental protection inspections.
2、 Market demand: replacing outdated processes with significant investment returns
Traditional manual dismantling has low efficiency and high cost, while incineration for copper extraction has been completely banned due to serious pollution. In this context, complete dismantling equipment has become the choice for compliant treatment of waste radiators.
Strong production capacity: capable of producing 1500-4000kg per machine, with an efficiency more than 10 times that of manual dismantling, suitable for large-scale production from small and medium-sized recycling plants to large-scale dismantling bases.
Significant returns: One ton of waste radiator can separate about 45% copper, 50% aluminum, and 5% iron. High purity copper rice and aluminum particles can be directly sold to smelters, achieving "one material, three receipts" and a short investment return cycle.
Widely applicable: It can handle various composite waste materials such as car water tanks, air conditioning radiators, and engineering machinery heat dissipation components, making it versatile and highly adaptable.
3、 Industry outlook: Green and circular upgrading to support the development of "urban mines"
Industry experts point out that with the continuous improvement of China's renewable resource recycling system and the high prices of metals such as copper and aluminum, the market penetration rate of dry water tank radiator dismantling equipment will continue to increase. In the future, this device will develop towards intelligence, modularity, and large-scale direction, and collaborate with recycling lines such as waste cables and household appliances to build a comprehensive recycling system for "urban mines", providing solid support for the development of China's circular economy and resource security.
