How much copper is in a radiator? How to recycle the copper?

According to the different types of air conditioner radiators, the content of copper contained in them is different, which can be basically divided into three categories.

1. Some individual air-conditioner fins with poor quality are basically made of aluminum tubes, and then add a layer of other metals to prevent rusting on the aluminum tubes, thus, the copper content is basically zero.

2. For some high-end air conditioners, the radiators are basically composed of copper tubes, and the copper content can reach about 80%, aluminum is about 15%, and iron is about 5%.

3. As for the ordinary air-conditioner radiators, which are also commonly used in people's lives. The copper content is about 55%, the aluminum content is about 40%, and the iron content is about 5%.

Copper, aluminum and iron are recyclable materials, and the high price of copper and aluminum can bring high profit to us if we can get the copper of the radiators. The question is: how to separate copper from a radiator?

Henan Doing Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd has two types radiator recycling machine to recycle copper from radiators.

Radiator recycling machine

One is copper aluminum radiator stripping machine, which is low cost and easy to operate. Just put the radiators into the feed port, copper tubes will be peeled from aluminum foil. This machine has 300-400kg/h and 500-600kg/h processing capacities, which is suitable for processing single or double layer air conditioner radiators. If the radiators are three or more layers, radiator cutting machine is needed to equip for per-processing. The following video will help you understand the working process of copper aluminum radiator stripping machine.

The other is radiator crushing and separating machine, which is a complete production line for recycling waste radiators to get metal copper aluminum and iron. The raw materials can be old car water tanks, car radiators and condensers, air conditioner radiators, etc. According to different requirements of customers, we can provide equipment with different processing capacity. Through shredding, crushing, negative pressure baffling separation, magnetic separation, and air separation, copper will be separated from radiator, with 99% separation rate, easy to operate, high degree automation, wide application, etc.
