Aluminium Recycling Machinery for Scrap Preparation
Aluminium recycling requires clean preparation of scrap for melting and onward sale. Yufeng Hengda designs and supplies machinery for baling, shredding, sorting support and foundry feed preparation tailored to aluminium scrap.
Overview
Aluminium is one of the most recycled metals because it can be remelted repeatedly with a fraction of the energy of primary production. Clean, well-prepared scrap is the key to good melt yield and a strong sale price.
Different aluminium scrap streams call for different machinery. Profiles, extrusions and sheet are often shredded to a uniform size, while used beverage cans (UBC) and light scrap are commonly baled to reduce volume for transport and melting.
Yufeng Hengda designs balers and shredders sized to your material and throughput, builds them through our manufacturing partners in China and supplies aluminium recyclers and foundries worldwide.

What this involves
Aluminium baling
Balers compress aluminium profiles, sheet and UBC into dense bales for transport and melting.
Aluminium shredding
Shredders reduce aluminium profiles and extrusions to a consistent size for sorting and processing.
Sorting support
Size reduction supports downstream separation and improves the quality of recovered material.
Foundry feed preparation
Prepared aluminium scrap can be formatted for efficient and consistent furnace feeding.

Frequently Asked Questions
It depends on the scrap stream. Profiles, extrusions and mixed sheet are often shredded to a uniform size for sorting and melting, while used beverage cans and light loose scrap are usually baled to cut transport volume. Many operations use both.
