Collection and Sorting
- Material Procurement: Collect aluminum scrap from various sources, including manufacturing waste, post-consumer products, construction materials, and automotive parts.
- Automated Sorting Systems: Employ advanced sorting technologies such as electromagnetic separators, eddy current separators, and optical sorting machines to segregate different aluminum alloys, forms, and contaminants.
Shredding and Processing
- Shredding and Shearing: Utilize heavy-duty shredders, shears, or granulators to process large aluminum items into smaller fragments or chips, optimizing for melting efficiency.
- Melting Furnaces: Employ large-scale furnaces, such as reverberatory furnaces, rotary furnaces, or induction furnaces, to melt aluminum scrap. This stage removes impurities and prepares the metal for refining.
A large-scale aluminum recycling plant integrates advanced technologies and processes to handle substantial volumes of aluminum scrap, contributing significantly to resource conservation and sustainable manufacturing practices.
