A Copper Aluminum Radiator Recycling Plant is a mechanical recycling line for processing waste heat exchangers and radiator scrap. It breaks the combined copper tubes, aluminum fins, iron frames, plastic parts and other mixed components into separated material streams.
The updated process route is: shredder → metal crusher → magnetic separator → eddy current separator → secondary crusher → gravity separator. This configuration is suitable for customers who need more complete liberation and higher separation quality from mixed radiator scrap.
The line can be used by metal recycling companies, waste appliance recyclers, auto dismantling yards, air conditioner recycling centers and copper-aluminum recovery projects.
The line can process different radiator and heat exchanger materials. Yuxi can match the shredder, crusher and separation system according to material thickness, copper-aluminum content, impurity level and required capacity.
Waste radiators contain copper, aluminum, iron, plastic and other mixed materials. Manual dismantling is slow, unstable and difficult to scale. A complete physical recycling line helps improve recovery efficiency and material value.
Radiator fins and copper tubes are tightly combined. Manual dismantling requires high labor input and low processing efficiency.
Copper, aluminum and iron mixed together lower the resale value of recovered materials and increase downstream sorting cost.
Plastic side tanks, iron frames, screws and other impurities must be removed before high-value copper-aluminum recovery.
Whole radiators occupy warehouse and transport space. Shredding and crushing reduce volume before separation.
One-stage crushing may not fully release copper and aluminum. Secondary crushing and gravity separation improve final sorting.
Recycling plants require continuous feeding, controlled particle size and reliable separation for long-term operation.
The updated route improves material liberation and sorting quality. The shredder first reduces large radiators into smaller pieces. The metal crusher further breaks the copper-aluminum structure. Magnetic separation removes iron. Eddy current separation separates non-ferrous metals from plastic and other non-metals. Secondary crushing releases remaining combined material. Gravity separation completes copper-aluminum and heavy-light material sorting.
Primary size reduction for whole radiators and bulky heat exchanger scrap.
Break copper tubes, aluminum fins, plastic tanks and metal frames into smaller pieces.
Remove iron frames, screws and ferrous impurities from the mixed material.
Separate non-ferrous metals from plastic and other non-metal materials.
Further liberate copper, aluminum and remaining attached materials.
Sort copper-aluminum, plastic, heavy metals and light impurities by density difference.

Through shredding, metal crushing, magnetic separation, eddy current separation, secondary crushing and gravity separation, the radiator recycling line can separate copper-aluminum material, plastic, iron and other valuable metal fractions.
Recovered copper tubes and copper-rich particles can be sold to metal recyclers or sent for further refining.
Aluminum fins and aluminum-rich material are separated for non-ferrous metal recycling and resale.
Part of the output can be copper-aluminum mixed material depending on the input material and final separation requirement.
Plastic tanks, covers and light non-metal materials can be separated from the metal stream.
Ferrous frames, screws and iron impurities are removed by magnetic separation before non-ferrous sorting.
Depending on material composition, brass, stainless steel or other valuable metal fractions can be recovered for further sorting.
