Aluminum foil is a paper-thin sheet of rolled aluminum that is ideal for packaging and storing food. Aluminum foil paper is widely used and popularized rapidly, followed by the increase of aluminum foil waste. So how to deal with aluminum foil waste? Aluminum foil recycling is a good solution, and aluminum foil shredder is one of the important recycling machinery.
Aluminum foil shredders can break large sheets of aluminum foil into small pieces, which can be turned back into new products indefinitely after melting, and are almost 100% recyclable.
What shredder is suitable for aluminum foil recycling?
Before choosing an aluminum foil shredder, we must be clear but not limited to the following situations.
Aluminum foil feeding method: bundling, bulk feeding, etc.
Processing capacity: The output of the same type of shredder is different and the price is not the same. Clear output can avoid insufficient production capacity or waste of budget by selecting large equipment.
Output fineness: The types of shredders used for different output sizes will be different. If the output requirements are not very strict, the double-shaft shearing shredder is a very economical choice. If the output requirements are relatively fine, single-axis shredders are more suitable, and under special circumstances, it is also possible to use a combination of two type shredders.
Commonly used aluminum foil recycling shredder brief introduction
As mentioned above, twin-shaft shear shredder and single-shaft fine shredder are often used for aluminum foil recycling. Let us briefly understand these two types of equipment.
Twin-shaft shearing shredder
Twin-shaft shearing shredder is often used to crush aluminum foil. Its low-speed and high-torque working principle is very suitable for crushing aluminum foil waste of different sizes. The equipment has low speed, high torque, large shear force, good shredding effect, and low noise. Low, good stability and other characteristics, the size of the shredded material is about 100-300mm.
Single roller fine shredder
The single-roller fine shredder is a shredding equipment developed according to the needs of fine material processing. GEP ECOTECH single-roller fine shredder designed the "V"-shaped arrangement of knife rollers and tooth-shaped fixed knife structure, equipped with hydraulic boosters and improved suspension deceleration machine, which can realize efficient crushing of aluminum foil waste. Coupled with the discharge control function of the combined screen, the equipment can control the discharge of materials within 30-120mm.
Choosing the right aluminum foil shredder ensures process stability: high continuous throughput, uniform particle size, and suitable fines.
