The radiator dismantling machine is specifically designed for dismantling copper-aluminum radiators, enabling the complete separation of copper tubes from aluminum foil. Copper tubes remain intact without damage, while aluminum foil is output in block form with no powder loss, significantly enhancing material resale value.
The equipment achieves a single-shift processing capacity of 4–6 tons, with production rates ranging from 300–600 kg/h depending on model specifications. A single machine processes single-layer and double-layer radiators with 19mm, 21mm, or 25mm copper tube spacing, while also accommodating 4-layer or 6-layer structures. No pre-cutting with band saws is required, ensuring truly high-efficiency, low-cost operation.
Widely used for dismantling and separating scrap air conditioner radiators, automotive radiators, and copper-aluminum composite heat exchangers, the radiator dismantling machine is a key asset for recycling companies seeking to boost profits in the reclaimed metal industry.
applications of radiator dismantling machine
The radiator separation and disassembly machine is suitable for dismantling and separating various copper-aluminum composite heat exchange equipment, including:
- Scrap air conditioner condensers, evaporator radiators.
- Scrap automotive radiators and cooling heat exchangers.
- Defective products from air conditioner radiator manufacturers.
- Industrial heat exchangers with copper tube and aluminum fin structures.
- Single- and double-layer radiators with varying copper tube spacings (19mm, 21mm, 25mm).
One machine serves multiple purposes, accommodating radiators of different specifications and sizes to meet the needs of small-to-medium recycling stations and large-scale resource recovery enterprises.


Air conditioner heat sink disassembly machine features
- High-efficiency production output: depending on the model, capacity ranges from 300–600kg/h, with single-shift output reaching 4–6 tonnes.
- Whole-tube stripping technology: utilises high-strength 9CrSi alloy blades to ensure complete copper tube separation without deformation or flattening, enhancing the sales value of copper materials.
- Aluminium foil block separation: aluminium foil is discharged in block form, preventing powder loss and facilitating sorting, packaging, and transportation.
- No pre-cutting with band saws: large radiators can be fed directly for processing, eliminating the need for traditional band saw cutting and reducing labour and time costs.
- Adaptable to multi-layer, multi-specification structures: capable of processing 4-layer and 6-layer radiators, with simple adjustments to meet varying production requirements.
- Safety protection design: the feed inlet incorporates a photoelectric sensing control system that automatically halts operation when hands enter the safety zone, ensuring operational safety.
- Stable structure, straightforward maintenance: the machine features a rational layout and a robust, durable transmission system. Low routine maintenance costs make it suitable for long-term continuous production.


Radiator separating machine working principle
The radiator dismantling machine primarily comprises the following components:
- Feeding and guiding apparatus
- Multiple sets of high-strength stripping blades (9CrSi material)
- Drive system
- Photoelectric safety control system
- Copper tube and aluminium foil separation discharge port
Materials are introduced into the feed inlet manually or via conveyor. High-hardness alloy blades perform longitudinal cutting and compression stripping on the heat sinks, causing the copper tubes and aluminium foil to separate layer by layer.
Copper tubes are discharged whole through a dedicated outlet, while aluminium foil exits via a separate channel. This achieves a purely physical separation process requiring no crushing and generating minimal dust.
