In the aluminum recycling industry, selecting the right aluminum scrap shredder is critical to optimizing efficiency, reducing operational costs, and achieving high-purity output. Whether processing lightweight aluminum foil, automotive aluminum shells, or electronic waste, the wrong machine can lead to clogged systems, excessive wear, or subpar material quality.


As a leading ENERPAT aluminum shredder manufacturer, we’ve designed 7 specialized models to tackle diverse aluminum waste streams. This guide breaks down each machine’s strengths, helping you match your needs to the ideal aluminum recycling machine.


1. One-Shaft Aluminum Shredder (Light/Heavy-Duty)

Best For: Thin aluminum scrap, cans, foil, and low-hardness materials.

Key Features:

  • Light-Duty: 18.5–75kW motor, 2–5 tons/hour capacity. Ideal for small recycling stations.

  • Heavy-Duty: 132×2–200×2kW motor, 8–15 tons/hour capacity. Handles aluminum profiles and oil filters.

Case Study: A home appliance recycler used a heavy-duty model to process AC aluminum foil, achieving 120 tons/day with particle sizes ≤30mm.

2. Two-Shaft Aluminum Shredder

Two-Shaft Aluminum Shredder Best For: Automotive aluminum shells, furniture, and electronic waste (e.g., circuit board brackets).

Key Features:

  • High shear force with a 300–2600mm crushing chamber.

  • Screenless design for long-strip output, perfect for coarse shredding.

Case Study: A car dismantling plant processed 80 tons/day of aluminum shells, achieving >90% purity.

3. Four-Shaft Aluminum Shredder

Best For: Lithium battery electrodes,battery power aluminum shell, and high-ductility aluminum.

Key Features:

  • 30% stronger shear force than dual-shaft models.

  • Customizable screens for precise particle control.

Case Study: A U.S. recycler processed 50 tons/day of lithium battery electrodes with <1% impurity rates.

Key Considerations for Buyers

  • Motor Power: Match to material hardness (e.g., 18.5–75kW for foil vs. 132×2–200×2kW for engine blocks).

  • Crushing Chamber Size: Larger chambers (2000–3000mm) for automotive scrap; smaller for thin materials.

  • Screen Type: Round holes (20–40mm) for coarse shredding; hexagonal (10–30mm) for fines.

  • Automation: Siemens/Schneider PLC systems enable overload protection and remote monitoring.
