An Aluminium Can Crusher with Conveyor is the core of efficient, high-volume recycling. This powerful system doesn’t just crush; it automates the entire process. First, it flattens thousands of cans per hour. Then, the integrated conveyor belt moves the crushed material away automatically. Consequently, this eliminates manual handling, saves huge amounts of labor, and dramatically speeds up operations. For any business serious about recycling—from scrap yards and municipal facilities to large hospitality venues—this machine is a game-changing investment.

Why a Combined Crusher and Conveyor System is Essential
Stand-alone crushers create a bottleneck. Workers must manually feed cans and then manually remove the crushed pile. This process is slow, messy, and unsafe. However, a fully integrated can crusher with conveyor solves these problems. The conveyor provides a continuous flow. It takes raw cans in and carries compacted aluminum out to your next station, like a baler or storage container. Therefore, the workflow is smooth, clean, and non-stop.
How This Industrial Aluminium Can Crusher Works
The process is simple yet highly effective. A grapple or feed mechanism (which we can provide) loads cans into the crusher’s hopper. Inside, a powerful motor drives a robust rotor with dozens of hardened steel blades. These blades shred and crush the cans against fixed stator blades. The result is a consistent, dense output of crushed aluminum pieces, ready for transport or further processing. Finally, the attached conveyor belt carries this output away, keeping the work area clear and ready for the next batch.
In-Depth Specifications & Customization
Our industrial aluminium crushing machine is built for durability and tailored performance. Here are the key technical specifications and how they can be adapted for your needs.
Core Crushing Power:
-
Motor Power: 55kW. We use high-efficiency YE3 or YE4 series motors for reliable, energy-saving operation.
-
Main Shaft Speed: 88 RPM. This optimized speed balances raw crushing force with material throughput.
-
Rotor & Blades: A 450mm diameter rotor equipped with 56 durable blades (400x400x50mm), working against 4 sets of stator blades. This design ensures thorough shredding.
Performance & Output:
-
Throughput Capacity: 1 to 2 metric tons per hour. This high volume is perfect for serious recycling operations.
-
Final Crushed Size: Approximately 10mm. This uniform size creates dense, easy-to-handle material that maximizes storage and transport efficiency.
The Crucial Role of the Conveyor System
The conveyor is not an afterthought; it’s a vital component. It can be customized in length, width, and belt type to fit your facility’s layout. For instance, you might need a steep incline conveyor to feed a baler, or a long, flat one to move material across your warehouse. As highlighted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), efficient material handling is a key factor in successful, cost-effective recycling programs.
Beyond Aluminium Cans: Versatile Material Processing
A major advantage of this heavy-duty crusher system is its versatility. While designed for aluminium cans, it can effectively process other lightweight materials based on specifications, such as:
-
Thin-walled steel cans (tin cans)
-
Plastic containers (depending on type)
-
Other non-ferrous scrap metal sheets
This flexibility makes it a valuable asset for facilities handling mixed recyclable streams.
5 Key Benefits for Your Business
Investing in this complete system delivers clear, measurable returns:
-
Skyrocketed Efficiency: Automate feeding and discharge to process more material in less time.
-
Major Labor Savings: Reduce the manpower needed for manual loading and cleaning.
-
Optimal Space Use: Crushed cans take up to 90% less space, lowering storage and transport costs.
-
Enhanced Safety: Minimizes worker contact with sharp edges and reduces physical strain.
-
Greater Revenue: Efficient, high-volume processing turns waste into a more profitable stream of scrap material.
Choosing the Right System for Your “Waste Site Requirement”
We understand every facility is unique. That’s why our aluminium can crusher with conveyor is highly customizable. We consider your:
-
Available floor space and layout.
