Xrido Group Paint Drum Metal Shredder: A Powerful Tool for Scrap Metal Recycling Plants
In the scrap metal recycling industry, scrap metal recycling plants need to process large quantities of various scrap metals daily. Paint drums, due to their combination of metal hardness and paint pollution, present a significant challenge. Traditional shredding equipment either struggles to handle the hard drum body and welded joints or fails to address the problem of paint evaporation pollution, severely impacting plant processing efficiency and environmental compliance. Xrido Group’s professional paint drum metal shredder, with its customized technology, is the core equipment for overcoming this challenge and enabling efficient plant operations.
The core competitiveness of Xrido Group’s paint drum metal shredder lies in its deep adaptation to the characteristics of paint drums. The equipment employs a dual-shaft counter-rotating low-speed, high-torque structure, paired with high-hardness tungsten carbide alloy blades treated with a special anti-corrosion coating. This allows it to easily cut through the reinforcing ribs and welded points of paint-coated iron drums, precisely shredding them into uniform metal fragments of 5-8cm. It also resists corrosion from residual paint, avoiding the pain point of traditional equipment where blades wear out quickly and need replacement every 3 months, extending blade life to over 18 months. Simultaneously, the equipment features a fully sealed negative pressure crushing chamber, combined with an activated carbon adsorption and spray purification system, which can increase the purification rate of harmful gases emitted from paint to 98%, ensuring that factory emissions meet national environmental protection standards.
In actual production at waste metal crushing and recycling plants, this shredder demonstrates exceptional practicality and synergy. Whether it’s a small 10L civilian paint drum or a large 200L industrial oil drum, the equipment can achieve stable processing through intelligent adjustment of the crushing gap, with a processing capacity of 8-15 tons per hour, 35% more efficient than traditional general-purpose metal shredders. The shredded metal fragments are compressed to 1/8 of their original volume, significantly reducing transportation costs. Furthermore, the fragments have neat edges, making subsequent cleaning and sorting processes easier, increasing the metal recovery rate to 99.2% and boosting the factory’s recycled metal revenue.
In addition, the Xrido Group paint drum metal shredder provides strong support for reducing factory operating costs. The equipment is equipped with an intelligent variable frequency energy-saving motor, reducing energy consumption by 22% compared to traditional equipment. It features a built-in overload protection and fault self-diagnosis system that monitors parameters such as cutter shaft speed and chamber temperature in real time, automatically shutting down and sending warnings in case of abnormalities. This reduces annual maintenance downtime by 40% and maintenance costs by 28%. Simultaneously, the equipment can seamlessly integrate with the factory’s conveying, magnetic separation, and packaging production lines, achieving automated operation and reducing the need for 3-5 workers.
Against the backdrop of increasingly stringent “dual carbon” goals and environmental policies, the Xrido Group paint drum metal shredder, with its triple advantages of “high-efficiency crushing + environmentally friendly treatment + cost optimization,” has become the preferred upgrade option for waste metal crushing and recycling plants. Choosing Xrido Group not only easily solves the problem of disposing of paint drums, but also improves the overall capacity and profitability of the factory, helping companies gain a competitive advantage in the green recycling sector.
