Metal crusher is a kind of equipment used to process scrap metal and break it into small pieces or particles. It is usually used to recycle metal resources, reduce the volume of metal waste, and improve recycling efficiency. Its working principle is to use high-speed rotating cutters or hammers to hit, shear, squeeze and other effects on metal materials to break metal materials into particles of a certain size.

Common types of metal crushers:

1. Hammer crusher:
   Hammer crusher uses a rotating hammer to hit and crush metal, which is suitable for processing metal waste, waste home appliances, etc. The metal material is hit by a high-speed rotating hammer to break it into the required particles.
2. Knife crusher:
   Knife crusher uses high-speed rotating blades to shear and tear metal materials, which is suitable for metal materials with higher hardness. Suitable for processing various scrap metals and steel materials.
3. Double-shaft crusher:
   Double-shaft crusher usually has two relatively rotating shafts with multiple blades installed on the shaft. The material is crushed by cutting and tearing the metal scraps, which is suitable for processing larger metal materials or special-shaped metals.
4. Vertical shaft crusher:
   The rotor of the vertical shaft crusher is perpendicular to the material flow direction, and the high-speed rotating blade is used for crushing. It is usually used to process scrap metal, aluminum alloy and other light metals.

Working principle of metal crusher:

The working principle of metal crusher generally includes the following steps:

1. Feeding: Scrap metal materials are fed into the feed port of the crusher through the conveying system.
2. Crushing process: The hammer, blade or drum inside the crusher begins to rotate, collides, shears and tears with the metal materials, and gradually breaks the larger metal blocks into smaller particles.
3. Screening: The crushed metal particles pass through the screen or screening system to separate the particles that meet the specifications, and the larger particles continue to be crushed.
4. Discharging: Crushed metal materials of appropriate size are discharged from the discharge port of the equipment, waiting for subsequent processing or recycling.

Application fields of metal crusher:

• Scrap metal recycling: used to recycle various scrap metal materials, such as scrap steel, scrap aluminum alloy, scrap copper, scrap zinc, etc., to reduce resource waste.
• Scrap home appliance recycling: suitable for recycling discarded home appliances, such as refrigerators, televisions, air conditioners, etc., and extracting the metal parts.
• Automobile recycling: processing discarded cars and their parts, and recycling the metal parts.
• Construction waste recycling: processing waste materials from construction sites, such as scrap steel bars, etc.

Advantages of metal crusher:

1. Efficient crushing: can quickly process a large amount of scrap metal and improve resource recovery efficiency.
2. Energy saving and environmental protection: greatly reduce the volume of scrap metal, easy to transport and subsequent processing.
3. Simple operation: simple operation, convenient maintenance, and can work stably for a long time.
4. Diversified applications: suitable for the processing of a variety of metal materials, with strong adaptability.

Factors to consider when choosing a metal crusher:

1. Type and hardness of metal materials: Different types of metal crushers are suitable for metal materials of different hardness, and appropriate equipment should be selected according to specific needs.
2. Production requirements: Select a suitable type of crusher according to actual needs to meet production scale requirements.
3. Maintenance and maintenance: Select equipment that is easy to maintain to ensure stability and efficiency in long-term operation.
   Metal crushers play a vital role in the metal recycling industry. They not only help save resources, but also effectively reduce the pollution of metal waste to the environment. They are important equipment for modern industrial waste treatment.
