1 incoming conveyor,

2 Scrap metal shredder-key machine

3 output  conveyor,

4 magnetic separation conveyor or magnetic drums.

5 dividing conveyor,

6 dust removal

7 Iron Conveyor

8 Residue conveyor.

9 operating cabinet.

10 ESC(optional one)

The working principle and processing will be:

The materials to be shreded are transferred to the scrap metal shredder through the a feeding conveyor, In the process of high-speed friction and shredding of metal in the scrap metal shredder chamber,After the waste materials are shred to a certain particle size,it will be Discharge at the sieve hole. Because the shred material with temperature is relatively high,So nextThe process is Vibrating feeder, The vibrating feeder will average the material to the magnetic drum for next sorting, In this step, scrap iron and some impurities will be separated. This step will get some iron and impurities.

In fact, it is a very simple production line. Just FEEDING,SHREDDING,AND SORTING.
