The copper aluminum radiator recycling line integrates shredding, crushing, magnetic separation, air classification, and an eco-friendly dust removal system. Employing dry physical separation technology, it achieves efficient recovery of metals such as copper, aluminum, and iron through multi-stage crushing and density separation techniques.
Depending on model configuration, processing capacity ranges from 500kg/h to 2000kg/h, with metal separation purity exceeding 99%. This meets production demands for small-to-medium recycling enterprises and large-scale renewable resource processing plants.
The entire production line operates under negative pressure and incorporates a pulse dust removal system, effectively minimizing dust pollution and complying with modern environmental production standards.
Why Recycle copper and aluminum Radiators?
With the rapid renewal of automotive and refrigeration equipment, scrap copper-aluminum radiators (copper-aluminum radiator cores) have become a vital raw material in the recycling industry.
These radiators typically feature a composite structure of copper tubes and aluminum fins. Copper offers excellent thermal conductivity, while aluminum provides lightweight properties and high heat dissipation efficiency, ensuring significant recycling value even after decommissioning.
Specialized mechanical recycling equipment enables efficient separation and resource reuse of metals like copper, aluminum, and iron.

copper aluminum radiator Recycling Line Advantages
- High automation: the entire line employs a centralized PLC electrical control system, enabling coordinated equipment operation for simplified handling and enhanced production efficiency.
- Dry physical separation technology: utilizes mechanical crushing and airflow sorting processes, eliminating water washing requirements to conserve water resources and reduce operational costs.
- Multi-stage sorting structure: combines magnetic separation, airflow sorting, and density separation technologies for thorough separation of copper, aluminum, and iron.
- Environmental dust control system: equipped with negative-pressure cyclone dust collectors and pulse-jet dust removal devices to effectively control dust emissions and improve the working environment.
- Structural stability: key components are manufactured from wear-resistant materials, ensuring stable equipment operation and low maintenance costs.
- Significant economic benefits: replacing manual dismantling with mechanized processing substantially reduces labor costs while enhancing the efficiency and profit margins of scrap radiator recycling.


copper and aluminum recycling Line workflow
The copper aluminum radiator recycling line undergoes processing through the following key machinery:
- Manual pre-processing: conducts a preliminary inspection of scrap radiators to remove large iron components, screws, shafts, and other hard contaminants.
- Dual-shaft shredder: initial shredding of radiators to reduce material size.
- Hammer crusher: secondary crushing to fully separate copper tubes, aluminum foil, and iron fragments.
- Magnetic separation: iron-based metals are separated using a high-intensity magnetic drum.
- Airflow gravity separator: precisely separates copper and aluminum based on density differences.
- Air conveying and dust collection system: transports dust via negative pressure air conveying to cyclone dust collectors and pulse-jet dust removal equipment for processing.
- Finished product output: yields three metal products—copper, aluminum, and iron—which are conveyed separately via conveyor belts.
