Scrap Metal Recycling Shredding of automotive and light scrap

Shredder in action

Our solution for for scrap metal recycling

The professional disposal and processing of scrap metal and metal waste are of great importance for the steel industry and metalworking companies. Recycling old metal not only saves valuable resources but also significant amounts of energy. Stainless steel and aluminum account for the largest share of recycled metal. However, materials such as copper, brass, zinc, and even electronic scrap, which usually needs to be disposed of and processed separately, are also included in this waste stream.

Our shredders from ARJES are the perfect solution for shredding light scrap metal, as they work efficiently and sort out foreign materials such as plastics and other non-metallic components. Thanks to the standard built-in magnetic separators, ferrous and non-ferrous metals are reliably separated. This process forms the basis for high-quality recycling and resource conservation in metal processing.

Processing of of automotive and light scrap metal

From small cars to SUVs – our two-shaft shredders have already shredded numerous end-of-life vehicles and processed many other light metals such as aluminum or sheet metal waste. In addition to targeted volume reduction, the sorted separation of the metals contained is particularly important to avoid subsequent quality losses during recycling.

Facts about metal recycling

Disposing of and recycling scrap metal is a complex process that depends on the type of material and its intended use. In Germany, approximately 20 million tons of metal scrap are materially recycled each year. Through scrap shredding and recycling, energy consumption in the production of new products is reduced by up to 50%. Many metals can be recycled almost infinitely, which makes the waste stream of automotive and light scrap metal one of the most significant valuable materials in our circular economy.

ARJES shredders in action

Our slow-speed two-shaft shredders are designed for the volume reduction of scrap metal. From mobile to stationary recycling plants, entire vehicles, car bodies, engine blocks, aluminum profiles, sheet metal waste, refrigerators, washing machines, and other electrical appliances are shredded on behalf of metal processing and recycling companies. By using the standard installed overband magnets, ferrous and non-ferrous metals can be reliably separated and sorted. Material compositions.

Our recommendation for shredding scrap metal

Recycling scrap metal? That’s a job for ARJES performance-class two-shaft shredders. For shredding light scrap such as aluminum or waste electrical and electronic equipment, we recommend our customers the mobile TITAN 900 as well as the stationary TITAN 900 e-pu/d-pu. For more demanding applications such as shredding decommissioned cars, white goods, and engine blocks, our heavyweights TITAN 950 and 950 e-pu/d-pu, with a shredding capacity of 20–30 tons per hour, are used.
