Types of Radiator Recycle Machine

Copper Radiator Granulator and Separator Machine

Large-Scale Radiator Recycling Machine

A large-scale radiator recycling machine can process a variety of waste radiators, such as those from air conditioners, car water tanks, and industrial cold storage. The large-scale radiator recycling machine working principle is crushing and separation. The first step is shredding. The shredder will cut the radiator into small pieces. The second step is crushing. The crusher will crush the radiator pieces into smaller, or can crush this radiator which are not shredded by shredder. Thirdly, the light weight of aluminum and iron will be separated by negative pressure baffling separator and magnetic separator. The last step is air separation. Air separator will separate aluminum and copper according to their different gravities.

Stripping Type Radiator Recycling Machine

A stripping type radiator recycling machine is a single unit that separates aluminum from copper tubes in waste radiators. It's also known as a small-scale radiator recycling machine. The working principle of stripping type radiator recycling machine is cutting and separation. Because the stripping type radiator recycling machine only can process both single and double layer radiators which are complete and flat. And it can only process radiator with the sizes of 19mm, 21mm and 25mm, so it needs to be used with a radiator cutting machine. The stripping type radiator recycling machine can directly strip the aluminum foil off the copper tubes, and thus can keep the shape of the foil.

What are the Structure of a Radiator?

Radiators are one of the most essential parts of vehicles and gen sets. Because vehicles and gen sets produce heat, the role of a radiator is to regulate internal combustion engine temperature and prevent overheating. Radiators are designed to transfer heat through a coolant fan. In this article, we will look into the 4 important parts of a radiator as well as the wear and tear they may suffer from.

Radiator Core Tubes
Radio core tubes provide a way to shed away the heat of your coolant. To fulfill more of its purpose, it has tubes and fins wherein the tubes move inside the core, while the fins run on the outer part of your coolant. For detailed information about coolant tubes, they may be either made up of a brass-copper construction or aluminum, depending on your radiator design.
When your radiator plumbing fails, it is because of wear and clogs caused by particulates in your coolant, and also from external punctures and internal corrosion. You don’t have to consider selling them immediately at a junk shop because you can still repair the leaks in the radiator tubes.

Inlet and Outlet Pipes
The coolant inlet and outlet pipes are commonly manufactured components from plastics for newly-made vehicles or modern composite plastics. The latter is more durable and is resistant to heat. If you have plastic coolant inlet and outlet pipes, they can become brittle and will crack over time, which leads to leaks. In case the damage isn’t too severe, you can fix it through heat fusion welding to restore the parts. If not, you have to disassemble your radiator and buy another set of pipes.

Cooling Fins
Known to provide extra surface area for your coolant to bring out its heat with its metal pieces, cooling fins are a flexible part of a radiator. You don’t have to worry about damaging your fins in the future and how it will reduce the cooling coherence of your radiator because it rarely happens.But if numerous fins are damaged, you need to consider repairing it first before purchasing at radiator shops.
As mentioned earlier, newer vehicles have many plastic components, and plastic header tanks are included. What manufacturers do is attach these permanently to the metal core.

Plastic Header Tanks
Do you have a new vehicle? Then it means its radiator has integrated plastic components such as the tank. Manufacturers attach these permanently to the metal core, making them hard for people to replace on their own. Sad to say, plastic can frequently break due to heating and cooling circles, leading to leaking of coolant. But for other options, you may also pull out the plastic components and just replace them with custom metal alternatives to prevent heat fusions.

Common Causes of Radiator Failure

Corrosion and Mineral Build-Up
One of the most common causes of radiator failure is corrosion and mineral build-up due to a lack of maintenance. This buildup can cause blockages in the cooling system and eventually lead to a radiator malfunction. To prevent this from happening, drivers should flush their radiator and coolant at least once a year. This will help remove any build-up that may have accumulated.

Leaking Radiators
The common cause of a leaking radiator is a broken or cracked seal. Over time, the seal can become brittle and weak, which allows coolant to escape. To prevent this from happening, drivers should inspect the seal of their radiator regularly and replace it if needed.

Faulty Temperature Sensors
Faulty temperature sensors can also cause radiator failure. The purpose of the temperature sensor is to regulate the temperature of the radiator and coolant. If the sensor is malfunctioning, it can cause the radiator to overheat and potentially cause a failure. To prevent this from happening, drivers should have their temperature sensors inspected regularly and replace them when needed.

Faulty Fan Clutches
The fan clutch is responsible for controlling the speed of the radiator’s fan. If the fan clutch is not functioning properly, it can cause the fan to run too fast or too slow, which can lead to overheating. To prevent this from happening, drivers should have their fan clutches inspected regularly and repaired or replaced if needed.

Inefficient Coolant
Inefficient coolant can also cause radiator failure. The coolant is responsible for keeping the radiator from overheating, but over time it can become less effective. To prevent this from happening, drivers should flush their radiator and coolant regularly to ensure it is functioning properly.

Product usage process

Shredding

The waste radiators should be removed from the car or air conditioner and separated from other materials such as plastic and steel. The Radiator Recycle Machine has two conveyor belts, one for the inlet and the other for the outlet. Place the waste radiator on the inlet conveyor belt. Shredding of the raw material into small pieces with a shredder.

Crushing

The crusher uses a long-hole screen, which is less prone to the formation of copper-clad aluminium. The machine's shredder will break down and crush the waste radiator into small pieces. Then the hammer mill will grind them into small particles.

Negative-pressure Baffling Separation

Sorting out light aluminium with a negative-pressure baffling separator. The negative pressure baffle allows a large amount of light aluminium to be sucked out first, thus increasing the separation rate. The vibrating screen will sieve the small particles into different sizes.

Magnetic Separation

It uses a magnetic separator with a tipping bucket, the copper and aluminum iron will be separated from the waste radiators. The copper pipes and aluminum fins will be separated and collected separately. The aluminum iron will be collected separately.

Air Separation

Copper and aluminum are sorted out using air separator according to the different specific gravity of the metals.

What are the Benefits of Scrap Radiator Recycling?

In the past, people usually throw away the waste radiators directly. But now, more and more people start to recycle them by radiator recycling machine. What cause this change? It is all because that people has known that they can get benefits from scrap radiator recycling. So what are the benefits? I will make a explain in this article.

Resource Benefit
As we know, copper is one important metal resource. The demand of copper in the world is huge. The copper is in short supply in the world now. But a radiator is usually made of copper, aluminum and iron. If we can get copper out of radiator by radiator recycling machine, the current situation of copper can be slightly improved. So recycling scrap radiator is an important way to increase the amount of copper.

Economic Benefit
The second benefit is that scrap radiator recycling can bring economic benefit to us. The radiator is usually made of copper, aluminum and a little iron metals. We can sell the copper and aluminum directly after separating them. Because their price is high. The price of aluminum is about 2415 USD now. Not to mention the price of copper. Its price is higher than aluminum, which can reach to about 9918 USD. So if we can recycle scrap radiators by radiator recycling machine, we will get copper and aluminum with the high purity of 99%, so the profit we get is pretty high.

Environmental Benefit
As we all know, e waste, includes scrap radiators, will have bad effect on the environment. But radiator recycling machine can recycle scrap radiators 100%, which will not cause resource waste. What's more, it adopts dry type physical separation. The whole process is shredding, crushing, negative pressure baffling and air separation, which will generate no fire, no water and no chemicals.

Handling Ratings of Radiators and Other Scrap Items

Some of the most difficult things to take apart while scrapping can be worth your time and money if you do it the right way. But knowing how to take them apart and what goes into it, can be the most dificult challenge. The iScrap App Team has ranked some of the most common scrap items to take apart based on their difficulty. Ratings are based on a 5-star system, with 5 being the most difficult.

Computer Tower
They are very common to find in residential areas or even in your own basement. Desktop computer towers are relatively easy to take apart for scrap components inside. All you really need is a screwdriver to take the outer casing off and then start unscrewing the components from inside. You can take the wires and ribbon wires off of their corresponding board easily by unclipping them with your kids. Also you can remove the AL heatsinks, RAM boards, and CPU chips by pulling them off the mother board. You will need to use your screwdriver to remove the motherboard, Low Grade Boards, harddrives, and disc drives. Check out our helpful step by step guide for scrapping a computer tower.

Air Conditioner
This is one of the more difficult items to take apart not because it is physically demanding but rather the legality behind scrapping one can become a bit tedious and difficult. Inside air conditioners there is a chemical called freon that helps the system blow cooler air into the room, this chemical is very harmful to the environment. Because of that, you are not legally allowed to dissipate this chemical into the air and can actually be fined by the EPA for a lot of money if you do. Instead you must contact a licensed HVAC contractor to remove the gas safely and then you can proceed by removing the copper, fin, sealed unit, and wires.

Electric Motor
If you are interested in scrapping a motor, things can get a bit complicated if you have never done it before. Because electric motors can be found in a variety of items and appliances, you may want to learn the best way to take them apart for the copper wire inside. You will come across them quite often so if you can establish a quick and efficient want of taking them apart, you can be making much more at the scrap yard. A few things to keep in mind are, while that the copper wire wrapped around the inside may look like bare bright copper it usually is not and there is also quite a large quantity of steel that is within the motor. To check the wire that is on the inside, take a file to the outside of it and you should see the color of the copper on the inside. Usually the wire will have a shellac on the outside that will consider the wire a #2 copper price at your scrap yard.

Aluminum Copper Radiators
When you are scrapping appliances with refrigerants, like refrigerators, air conditioners, and freezers will have aluminum/copper radiators on the inside of the appliance. When you are taking the appliances apart for the copper tubing, wires, and electric motors, be sure to remove the AL/Copper fins. Just like we mentioned about the air conditioner and the freon, be sure to have the freon removed. Once it is removed, it is relatively easy to remove the steel ends for a bigger profit at the scrap yard. If you have a sawzall it can be simple to run the blade down along the edge of the radiator to remove the steel endings and get the clean aluminum and copper radiator. Be sure to separate the steel ends, as some yards will pay you a special price for them.

Maintenance of Radiator Recycle Machine?

Safety Operation
Before an operator gets near the equipment to perform maintenance duties, he or she must understand the importance of lockout/tagout, the safety procedure that ensures that the power source is cut off and cannot be restarted before the service or maintenance work is complete. Lockout/tagout procedures are critical to preventing injuries and fatalities on the job site.

Develop a Maintenance Program
A maintenance program that details lubrication intervals, oil changes and filter changes is vital to keeping equipment running smoothly. Every piece of equipment has different needs, which is why it is important to follow the manual recommendations, but it’s equally as important to consider environment and application factors.
You need to be conscious of the levels of dust and dirt. Use any citrus-based cleaner to remove oils from the radiator. The best method is to let the radiator and equipment cool down, and then apply the citrus cleaner and rinse with cool water.

Observe Your Equipment Daily
As you are operating your equipment, it’s important to pay attention to the details—not only the way it looks, such as belt tracking, belt tension, oil temperatures, loose bolts and material buildup—but also the way it sounds.
If you can catch something before it comes apart, then you can save yourself a lot of downtime. Sounds can be a great tool to use in predicting maintenance failures, such as squeaky bearings, metal rubbing on metal and high pitched noises that are out of the ordinary.
As you notice crusher wear parts start to wear, it’s important to adjust the crusher’s settings to match your production requirements, particularly in recycle applications.

Use Low-Chrome or Medium-Chrome Wear Parts
Choosing the right metallurgy will reduce the number of times one has to replace wear parts. Certain natural aggregates within the recycle may be highly abrasive and require a specific metallurgy to prolong the life of the blow bar.
In certain applications where a high amount of steel is introduced into the crusher by means of rebar or mesh, operators should know that higher chrome content is not as tolerant to the introduction of metal into the crusher as low-chrome or medium-chrome options.

Educate Staff on the Product
While application is often not considered a maintenance issue, the two go hand-in-hand when caring for your equipment. For example, two of the most critical aspects of an operation when making spec product in terms of productivity and wear of the machine are screen size and apron settings. Operators can optimize productivity in their crushing plants by using the machine’s top deck as a buffer deck whenever possible, thereby reducing carryover. Likewise, by maintaining proper apron settings, material can get through the machine in one pass, which also helps improve productivity and reduce wear.

Frequently Asked Questions of Radiator Recycle Machine

Q: Why are radiators no longer used?

A: Radiators have become less popular as central heating systems have become more efficient and reliable. Many newer homes are now built with forced-air systems that provide heat through ducts and vents in the walls, ceilings, or floors. These systems are more energy-efficient than radiators and require less maintenance.

Q: What are radiators made of?

A: Radiators are typically made of an aluminum core that has been cast, extruded and/or rolled. Aluminum is lightweight and forms a strong heat transfer material, making it ideal for radiators. Copper is also used in some radiator designs. It offers better thermal conductivity than aluminum but is heavier and more expensive. Plastic or steel fins are added to the aluminum or copper cores to increase surface area and aid in heat dissipation.

Q: What not to do with radiator?

A: Not only should you avoid touching a hot radiator to prevent burns, you should also keep anything in the room from coming into contact with it, avoid to interfere with the circulation of heat generated from the unit.

Q: What are the environmental benefits of recycling radiators?

A: Recycling radiators can have a number of positive impacts on the environment. First, recycling radiators reduces the amount of waste that needs to be disposed of in landfills. This reduces the amount of resources used when creating and maintaining landfills and also helps to protect natural habitats that may be threatened by overfilled landfills. Additionally, recycling radiators preserves valuable materials such as aluminum and copper that are used to manufacture them. By recycling these materials, we save natural resources that would have otherwise been used to produce new radiators.

Q: How are radiators recycled?

A: Radiators are usually recycled by a process called smelting. During this process, the metal in the radiator is melted and separated into its constituent metals — typically aluminum, copper, brass and steel — which are then collected and reused to create new radiators or other products. The plastic parts of the radiator may also be recycled if they can be separated from the metal. The recycling process for radiators helps to reduce waste and conserve natural resources. Although cohen only recycles metal, learn more about where to recycle non-metal materials.

Q: What are the risks of not recycling my radiator?
