Why do we need to crush and process scrap metal instead of selling it directly?

People in the industry should know that pure metal recycling business is not profitable. If you want to make money, you must find a way to improve the purity of scrap metal to increase the price of sale, and reduce the occupation of the site by crushing. Rate and reduce transportation costs.

Moreover, the scale of recycling of scrap steel, iron, scrap and aluminum in each region is limited. It is impossible to collect as much material as you want. Therefore, it is a long-term investment to refine the processing of materials through metal pulverizers and increase unit profits. Development plan.


The use of metal shredders to process scrap metal has the following advantages:


1. The material has less pure impurities and uniform particles

For metal smelting companies, the purer the recovered metal, the less pollution will be caused during smelting and recycling, the lower the smelting cost, and the higher the output ratio. Therefore, the recycling price of crushed metal materials is higher than other metals. The price of untreated materials is higher;


2. The material volume is uniform, reducing the occupancy rate of the site and reducing the transportation cost

Some irregular space occupies a relatively large amount of scrap metal. After being processed by a metal shredder, the volume becomes smaller and uniform. The average diameter of the material is 1 cm-3 cm. This material has high density and low transportation cost. At the same time, when metal particles are smelted, they can be smelted. Adequately, improve energy efficiency.


3. Different materials can be completely sorted and separated

In the collection of waste materials, if a single material is used, it can be recycled directly. However, most of the collected waste materials contain different components, such as door and window waste. In addition to aluminum alloy, there are also plastics, rubber and other materials. It needs to be fully crushed by a metal crusher and then sorted, so that the materials after sorting can be recycled for various materials and sold.


The core value of the metal shredder is to uniformly crush various materials, and then sort them through eddy current separators, magnetic separators and other equipment to realize the recovery of multiple materials and realize value.
