Scrap metal waste refers to discarded metal fragments and offcuts from metallurgical and metal-processing industries, metal packaging from municipal waste, and end-of-life vehicles. As a valuable secondary resource, scrap metal is mainly recycled through remelting to produce regenerated metals. Part of the recovered material can also be directly reused in manufacturing machinery, components, tools, and civil products, helping reduce raw material consumption and energy use while supporting a circular economy.

Mixed scrap metal is conveyed by an apron (chain) conveyor into a dual-shaft shredder, where the material is reduced in size through shearing, squeezing, and tearing actions. The shredded output falls onto a discharge belt conveyor and passes through magnetic separators to separate ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, and non-metallic materials, each discharged by dedicated conveyors. The non-ferrous and non-metal fractions are subjected to secondary magnetic separation to recover residual free iron, improving ferrous recovery efficiency. An eddy current separator is then applied to extract non-ferrous metals, further enhancing overall recycling value.
