Mild steel iron Scrap Shredder: Core equipment for efficient scrap steel processing
In the steel recycling industry chain, the Mild steel iron Scrap Shredder is a key piece of equipment for realizing the resource utilization of scrap steel. It can precisely crush and reduce the volume of various low-carbon steel scraps, providing high-quality raw materials for subsequent smelting processes. It is widely used in scrap recycling stations, steel mills, and automobile dismantling plants.
This type of shredder is designed specifically for the characteristics of low-carbon steel (carbon content below 0.25%, high toughness but moderate hardness). The core component uses a high-chromium alloy cutter disc, and the blades are hardened to a hardness of HRC58-62. It can handle different forms of scrap such as steel plates, steel pipes, and scrap iron wire, while preventing the blades from wearing out too quickly. The equipment is typically equipped with 2-4 sets of cutter discs. Through the dual action of “shearing + extrusion” with counter-rotating blades, it tears large pieces of waste into uniform fragments of 50-150mm. The crushing efficiency can reach 1-5 tons/hour, and the specific capacity can be flexibly adjusted according to the motor power (15-75kW).
In terms of performance design, the low-carbon steel waste shredder emphasizes stability and safety. The machine body adopts a thickened steel plate welded structure, with strong load-bearing capacity, capable of withstanding impact loads during the crushing process. It is also equipped with an intelligent overload protection system. When encountering hard materials that are difficult to crush (such as mixed cast iron parts), the equipment will automatically reverse to discharge the material, preventing motor burnout or cutter disc damage. In addition, the equipment is equipped with a noise reduction and sealing device, controlling the operating noise to below 85 decibels, meeting the environmental protection requirements of industrial sites.
From an environmental and economic perspective, using Mild steel iron Scrap Shredders to process scrap steel not only reduces the land resources occupied by scrap dumps and lowers the risk of environmental pollution, but also increases the scrap steel recycling rate to over 95%. The shredded material has a higher density (up to 1.2-1.5 tons/cubic meter), reducing transportation costs by 40%-60% compared to untreated loose scrap. It also more easily meets the steel mill’s requirement of “refined feed into the furnace,” effectively reducing smelting energy consumption and helping the steel industry achieve its low-carbon production goals.
In terms of operation, the equipment uses a PLC control system with a touchscreen interface. Workers can operate it after simple training, enabling integrated automatic feeding, crushing, and discharging operations, significantly reducing labor costs. Daily maintenance is also convenient; the cutter head can be disassembled and replaced separately, and the lubrication circuit is rationally designed to effectively extend the equipment’s service life.
