Metal recycling offers substantial economic returns, environmental sustainability, and social value.

Reliable and durable recycling technologies for material separation and recovery,treatment of various types of solid waste and metal scrap. Metal recycling can benefit your Enhance and economic value , Help you improve recycling eliminate landfilling of waste.

With XRIDO’s ready-to-use spare parts library , you gain peace of mind through seamless maintenance and reduced downtime.

Scrap Metal Shredding & Crushing Line

1.metal recycling line adopts two-shaft metal shredder, hammer crusher for crushing the scrap metal.

2.Use Dust collector and special structures to remove the fine particle and dust during the crushing period.

3.The scrap metal recycling equipment separates the ferrous metal by a magnetic separator.

4.(Optional)Eddy current separator is adopted by the waste recycling machine to separate the non-ferrous metal from nonmetal materials.

Core equipment:Double-shaft shredder,Hammer crusher,Magnetic separator.

Profitable, Efficient and Reliable

Our R&D and manufacturing base covers 20,000 square meters land,We are manufacturer,We can customize metal crushing and recycling production line for you.

How much does a metal recycling line cost?

The cost of recycling line varies based on capacity, features, and process.

Entry-level machines for small-scale operations can cost around $20,000, while high-capacity industrial machines can cost upwards of $500,000.

If you want to invest in a metal recycling production line, you can contact us.

What are the main sources of metal scrap?

We use metals in many everyday products and applications. Vehicles, trucks, trains, train tracks, ships, aeroplanes, Machining scraps, Construction & Demolition, white goods, cutlery, pots and pans,etc.

What types of metal Scrap?

Ferrous Metals (Contain Iron):

Examples: Steel, cast iron, wrought iron, carbon steel, alloy steel.

Common Sources: Scrap cars, construction beams, appliances (e.g., refrigerators, washing machines), machinery, and industrial waste.

Properties: Magnetic, prone to rust if not treated.

Non-Ferrous Metals (Do Not Contain Iron):

Examples: Aluminum, copper, lead, zinc, tin, nickel, brass, and titanium.

Common Sources: Electrical wiring (copper), beverage cans (aluminum), batteries (lead), pipes, and electronic components.

Properties: Non-magnetic, corrosion-resistant, often more valuable than ferrous metals.

The metal shredder is mainly used for crushing scrap metal, increasing its bulk density for transportation and recycling.

    Scrap Metal Crushing and Sorting Line

    metal sorting line

    Applications: Scrap metal, Scrap steel, Scrap iron, Scrap aluminum, Scrap radiator, Scrap copper, Paint drums, Diesel drums, Thin iron sheets, Car shells, Metal briquettes, Metal plate scraps etc.

    Double-shaft Shredder

    1.Feed hopper: Put the material to be crushed, so as to prevent the material from splashing out;

    2.Cutting system: Using different blades according customer’s materials;

    3.Power system: We choose famous brands of motor in China, can also be configured according to customer needs;

    How to get double-shaft shredder price?

    We’d be happy to provide pricing details tailored to your specific requirements (e.g., capacity, power, customization).

    IF you share:

    Your intended application (e.g., waste type, volume)?

    Metal shearing/cutting machine

    Applications:

    Scrap Recycling – Efficiently cuts bulky scrap metal (cars, beams, pipes) for easy processing.

    Demolition Waste – Processes construction steel, rebar, and structural debris.

    Foundries & Smelters – Pre-shears scrap for faster melting & reduced furnace time.

    Auto Salvage Yards – Cuts end-of-life vehicles (ELVs) into compact, transportable pieces.

    Metal Trading – Prepares scrap for resale by optimizing size & weight.

    Metal baler machine

    Applications:

    Scrap Metal Recycling – Compress steel, aluminum, copper, and mixed metals into dense bales for easy transport & storage.

    Auto Salvage Yards – Crush end-of-life vehicles, car bodies, and parts into compact blocks.

    Metal Fabrication Waste – Bale offcuts, turnings, and sheet metal scraps for resale.

    Foundries & Smelters – Optimize melting efficiency with pre-baled scrap.

    Magnetic Separation

    Uses magnets to separate ferrous metals (iron, steel, nickel) from non-ferrous metals (aluminum, copper, brass).It exploits the magnetic properties of certain metals to efficiently sort and recover them.

    Applications of Magnetic Separation:

    Scrap Metal Recycling – Separating iron/steel from aluminum, copper, and waste.

    Waste Management – Removing metals from municipal solid waste (MSW).

    Mining & Mineral Processing – Extracting iron ore from crushed rock.

    E-Waste Recycling – Recovering ferrous metals from discarded electronics.

    Food & Pharmaceutical Industries – Removing metal contaminants from products.

    Eddy Current Separator – Maximize Metal Recovery

    Eddy Current Separator

    Separates non-ferrous metals (Al, Cu, Brass) from shredded solid waste.

    The metal separator recovers aluminium, copper, magnesium, zinc, silver and other valuable non-ferrous metals with a grain size above 1.2 mm with high efficiency.

    Applications:

    Recover valuable metals (Al, Cu, brass) from incinerator bottom ash .

    Separate metals from shredded End-of-Life Vehicles and Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment.

    Extract precious metals (gold, silver, copper) and non-ferrous metals from circuit boards, cables, and electronic components.

    Remove metal contaminants (e.g., aluminum caps, wires) from plastic flakes to improve purity.

    Remove metallic impurities (bottle caps, foil, wires) from crushed glass (cullet) before melting.

    Magnetic Separators: For ferrous metals (iron, steel).

    Eddy Current Separators: For non-ferrous metals (Al, Cu, brass).
