Our solution

The recovery of materials from end-of-life vehicles is a crucial part of the circular economy. With increasing regulations on the environmentally friendly and proper disposal of automobiles, the topic of car recycling is becoming more and more important. Every year, millions of vehicles are taken out of service for good and need to be professionally recycled.

End-of-life vehicles consist of a variety of materials, including metals such as iron, aluminium, copper, plastics and glass. Through effective recycling, valuable raw materials can be recovered and reintegrated into the production process. This helps to reduce waste and conserve natural resources.

Processing of end-of-life vehicles

  • Dismantlingremoval of flammable liquids as well as engines, old tyres and electronic components
  • Shreddingpre-shredding to reduce the volume of car bodies
  • Sortingrecovery of valuable raw materials such as iron, aluminium and plastics

Whether Smart, Octavia or Cayenne – our shredders are ideally suited for shredding a wide range of vehicle types and sizes. Depending on your requirements, ARJES offers stationary recycling systems and mobile shredders that can be perfectly customised to your needs. Our stationary shredding technology also offers high efficiency and is ideal for long-term, economical operation.

ARJES shredder in action

Efficient automotive recycling begins first and foremost with the volume reduction and separation of metallic and non-metallic components. Our two-shaft shredders are used by car recyclers both as mobile shredders with diesel drive and as stationary recycling systems with electric operation. They are the ideal solution for pre-shredding, as they can effectively process both car bodies and engine blocks. Our shredders are also suitable for shredding tires from a wide range of vehicle types, such as car tires, truck tires, EM tires and AS tires.

Facts about car recycling

In Germany, several million tonnes of end-of-life vehicles are produced every year, the proper disposal of which is essential for environmental protection. According to the Federal Environment Agency, over 90% of materials from end-of-life vehicles are recycled. A particular added value of car recycling is therefore the recovery of these valuable raw materials, including metals, which can be reused in new products.

Our recommendations for car shredding

    At ARJES, we only recommend our heavyweights for shredding car bodies and end-of-life vehicles – the mobile TITAN 950 and the stationary TITAN 950 e-pu/d-pu. These powerful industrial shredders are ideally suited to shredding scrap cars effectively and meeting the requirements of car recyclers in the best possible way. With a shredding capacity of around 20 tonnes per hour, they are the first choice for the professional disposal of permanently decommissioned vehicles.
