Against the backdrop of increasingly tight global resources, Scrap Metal Recycling Equipment, as a key technology carrier of the circular economy, is pushing the metal recycling industry towards a new stage of development through the deep integration of material science, intelligent control and green processes. These devices not only carry the economic value of resource regeneration, but also become an important technical support for achieving the goal of carbon neutrality.
Modern scrap metal recycling equipment has broken through the limitations of traditional physical crushing and is moving towards molecular-level precision recycling. Photocatalytic dissolution of precious metal recovery technology uses a homogeneous photocatalyst of decatungstate to achieve the integration of "oxidation dissolution-reduction recovery" of platinum metals at room temperature, increasing the recovery rate of precious metals to 80%-100% and the purity to more than 91%. This technological breakthrough not only reduces the reaction energy consumption by 90%, but also avoids the environmental risks brought by the strong acid leaching process, providing a green solution for the treatment of electronic waste.
In the field of power battery recycling, pretreatment equipment uses multi-stage composite treatment and process control to achieve a recovery rate of metals such as nickel, cobalt and manganese of more than 95%, and a lithium recovery rate of more than 70%. This high-value recycling capability enables the efficient use of 45% of the metal elements in the positive electrode materials of power batteries, building a complete resource closed loop for the new energy industry.
Modern recycling equipment has formed an intelligent production line consisting of conveyors, crushers, magnetic separators, dust removal systems, etc. Through the PLC automatic control system, the equipment can realize the automation of the entire process from raw material feeding to finished product packaging, and the processing efficiency is increased by 300% compared with traditional equipment. Taking the scrap steel crushing line as an example, its equipped double-drum roller and vibrating conveyor can process scrap steel with complex components into high-quality scrap steel with a purity of more than 99%, and at the same time sort out non-ferrous metals to meet the furnace entry standards of "fine scrap steel".
This intelligent upgrade is not only reflected in the performance of a single machine, but also extends to the collaboration of the entire industrial chain. Through the Internet of Things technology, recycling companies can monitor the operating status of equipment in real time, optimize production scheduling, and reduce the energy consumption of steel processing to less than 25 kWh per ton, which is 40% energy-saving compared with traditional processes.
The new recycling equipment has achieved a qualitative leap in environmental protection performance. Metal crushers with closed crushing chambers and negative pressure dust removal systems can control dust emission concentrations below 10mg/m³, far below national emission standards. Photocatalytic recycling technology combines resource recovery with green synthesis through the co-production of high-value-added aldehyde compounds, creating the dual value of "resource recovery + green synthesis".
In the field of waste lithium battery processing, the whole process high-quality utilization complete set of equipment achieves a collaborative cleaning treatment efficiency of more than 98% for multiple pollutants in the reaction process through large-field equipment sealing and precise control of temperature and flow fields. This technological breakthrough has reduced carbon emissions by more than 2 tons per ton of waste batteries, providing key technical support for the realization of the "dual carbon" goal.
With the acceleration of technological iteration, scrap metal recycling equipment is driving a profound change in the industrial ecology. The modular design enables the equipment capacity to be flexibly adjusted within the range of 50-500 tons/hour to meet the customized needs of enterprises of different sizes. Through the integration with blockchain technology, the equipment can realize the chain of recycling data and build a complete and trusted system from raw material traceability to product certification.
