Metal Shredder and Sorter Line is an efficient metal recycling system that integrates an industrial shredder, metal shredder, and scrap steel sorter into one complete solution. It is designed for processing various metal materials such as aluminum, scrap steel, and copper, and is also suitable for handling lightweight waste materials like plastics.
With a well-structured design, high automation, and stable performance, the production line delivers an output of 4 tons per hour, helping factories significantly improve material size reduction, sorting efficiency, and overall recycling value.
Metal shredder and sorter line components
The Metal Shredder and Sorter Line is composed of several core units designed for efficient metal recycling and high-quality output. The system includes an industrial shredder for primary size reduction, a metal shredder for further refining the material, and a scrap steel sorter that accurately separates different types of metals to ensure purity.
In addition to these main components, the line can also be equipped with a Metal Rust Removal Machine, which provides rust removal, polishing, and degreasing functions. This optional unit helps deliver cleaner, higher-value recycled materials and enhances the overall performance of the production line.
Industrial shredder
The Industrial Shredder serves as the first-stage crushing unit in the Metal Shredder and Sorter Line. Designed for heavy-duty material reduction, it can efficiently break down bulky metal waste such as aluminum profiles, steel scraps, copper pieces, and even plastic materials.
Featuring a robust structure, high torque output, and stable operation, the industrial shredder ensures consistent feeding and uniform output size, creating optimal conditions for the subsequent metal shredding and sorting processes.
Waste metal crushing machine working principle
Materials enter the shredder box through the feeding system. The shredder box is equipped with shredding blades, and materials are subjected to a combination of tearing, pressing, and cutting by the blades. The shredded materials are then discharged from the bottom of the shredder box.
Commercial crushing machine advantages
- Dual-shaft independent drive ensures stable operation and consistent material pressure during production.
- Automatic feeding function improves production efficiency by reducing manual intervention.
- Unique blade shaft structure with four-corner rotary cutters prevents shaft jamming and equipment stalling, even at low-speed, high-torque operations.
- Highly effective for crushing materials with higher toughness and viscosity.

Supporting equipment of metal shredder and sorter line
The Metal Rust Removal Machine is an essential supporting device for the Metal Shredder and Sorter Line, designed for deburring, derusting, rounding edges, and polishing various metal and non-metal parts. It is particularly suitable for surface finishing of delicate or easily deformed workpieces.
Parts processed by this machine not only retain their original dimensional accuracy but also achieve an improvement of 1–2 grades in surface roughness, ensuring a smooth and bright finish. The machine is ideal for medium to large-sized components, enhancing both the appearance and quality of recycled metal materials before further processing or use.
Metal rust removal machine working principle
The Metal Rust Removal Machine is designed for polishing and derusting metal materials, including waste aluminum with oil or rust, with a maximum diameter of 400 mm. The machine operates through a motor-driven gearbox that rotates the cylindrical drum. Inside the drum, guide plates and baffle plates create constant motion and agitation.
When the machine starts, materials are fed into the drum via a conveyor, where they are continuously thrown, tumbled, rubbed, and stirred along with abrasive media. This intensive movement allows the abrasive to effectively absorb oil residues and remove rust from the material surface, achieving thorough derusting and cleaning.
