The core of our customers' business is to efficiently recycle and process large quantities of compressed waste cans (UBCs). The main challenges they faced before included:

1. Processing capacity bottleneck: Traditional equipment is difficult to efficiently crush high-density briquettes, affecting the overall processing volume.

2. Insufficient sorting purity: Existing methods cannot fully separate the mixed metal materials (iron, aluminum) and non-metallic impurities produced after briquette crushing, affecting the value and sales of recycled materials.

3. Manual dependence and cost: The sorting process relies on manual or inefficient sorting technology, which is costly and prone to errors.

4. Pursuit of high-value recycling: Iron and aluminum need to be recycled separately with high purity to achieve the best market price and effectively remove impurities.

Our customized solutions

We designed and delivered a complete, highly automated metal crushing and sorting line for our customers’ specific needs in processing Compressed UBC Bales:

1. Robust feeding system: Custom-designed heavy-duty conveyors ensure stable and continuous feeding of briquettes into the crusher.

2. High-efficiency crushing core: Powerful crusher with high-speed rotating hammer system. The hammers are specially designed and hardened to hit the hard briquettes forcefully and repeatedly, completely crushing and disintegrating them into small particle mixtures.

3. Precise capture of ferrous metals: The crushed material immediately passes through a high-performance magnetic separator. The strong magnetic field efficiently and accurately separates all ferrous metal particles.

4. Efficient separation of aluminum and non-metallic impurities: The remaining material after magnetic separation (mainly aluminum and non-metallic) enters the eddy current separator. The equipment uses an alternating magnetic field to induce the repulsive force generated by eddy currents in non-ferrous metals (aluminum), ejecting and separating pure aluminum particles while allowing non-metallic impurities (plastics, rubber, glass fibers, etc.) to fall naturally.

5. System integration and control: The entire production line is seamlessly integrated, with a high degree of automation, reduced manual intervention, and stable and reliable operation. The control system can optimize parameters according to material characteristics.

Significant results for customers

After this customized system was put into operation, it brought significant benefits to customers:

Significantly improved processing efficiency: The problem of briquetting and crushing was successfully solved, and the system processing capacity reached 5 tons/hour, far exceeding the customer's original level.

Excellent sorting purity:

Iron recovery rate > 99.9%, the purity of iron products is extremely high.

Aluminum recovery rate > 99%, the content of metallic aluminum in aluminum products is significantly increased.

Significantly improved economic benefits: High-purity iron and aluminum products directly increase sales value. Efficient impurity removal also reduces subsequent processing or landfill costs. Automation reduces manual sorting costs.

Enhanced environmental credentials: Achieved nearly 100% resource utilization of waste can briquettes, improving the customer's green environmental protection image and market competitiveness.

Stable and reliable operation: The equipment is specially designed for briquettes, wear-resistant and durable, with a low failure rate, ensuring the continuity of production.

Customer evaluation

This customized system completely solves our pain points in handling briquettes. The crushing efficiency is amazing, and more importantly, the sorting purity is far beyond expectations. The recycling value of iron and aluminum is significantly improved, impurities are thoroughly removed, and automation also saves a lot of manpower. This is an important upgrade for our recycling business.
