UBC refers to used beverage aluminum cans, which are a high-value, easily recyclable metal scrap. Characteristics of UBC include lightweight material, strong elasticity, easy stackability, and they typically exist in forms such as bales, briquettes, or loose bodies.
Recycling Value of UBC
High-Value Aluminum Material: Aluminum is a metal that can be efficiently recycled, and there is stable market demand for recycled aluminum.
Energy Saving and Environmental Protection: Recycling aluminum significantly reduces energy consumption compared to primary aluminum production.
High Recycling Rate: After shredding, it can be used for smelting to produce aluminum ingots, aluminum profiles, etc.
Reduced Transportation and Handling Costs: Pre-processing and shredding can increase bulk density, reduce transport volume, and improve subsequent furnace charging efficiency.
UBC Pre-processing Solutions
GEP ECOTECH offers two main types of shredding equipment for UBC recycling: Double-Shaft Shredder and Single-Shaft Shredder. These can be configured individually or in combination based on different requirements.
Double-Shaft Shredder
Advantages
Powerful Shearing, Suitable for Baled UBC: Low speed and high torque enable easy tearing of bales, biscuits, and mixtures with light impurities.
Stable Operation, Strong Adaptability: Handles irregularly shaped or impurity-containing UBC more effectively.
Larger but Uniform Output Size:Creates favorable conditions for subsequent sorting or secondary crushing.
Easy Maintenance, Long Tool Life: Suitable for continuous or intermittent operation.
Single Shaft Shredder
Advantages
Strong Particle Size Control: The final output size is determined by the screen, enabling smaller and more uniform particles.
Stable Feeding with Hydraulic Pusher: Ensures UBC is fed continuously and evenly into the cutting area, improving shredding efficiency and stability.
Compact Structure: Small footprint, making maintenance more convenient.
GEP ECOTECH can provide flexible configurations ranging from individual machines to complete production lines. Whether you need a standalone shredder or an efficient integrated processing solution, we can tailor it to your needs and empower your operations precisely. Please feel free to inquire. We look forward to providing you with professional services.
