Name: TG-ELVLine 300 End-of-Life Vehicle Shredding and Recycling Line
Brand: 天工

From Depolluted Vehicle Hulks to Sorted Metal Fractions in One Pass

The TG-ELVLine 300 is an integrated end-of-life vehicle shredding and recycling line for auto dismantlers and metals recyclers who need to process complete vehicle hulks into sorted ferrous, non-ferrous, and residual fractions in a continuous single-pass operation. The buyer receives a pre-engineered line with matched stage capacities, a unified PLC control system, and a single commissioning timeline-eliminating the integration burden of sourcing shredder, conveyor, magnetic separator, and non-ferrous recovery units from separate suppliers.

The target buyer processes 30 to 100 vehicle hulks per day. Vehicles must be depolluted (fluids drained, batteries removed, airbags deployed or removed) before feeding, per standard ELV directive requirements. The line accepts stripped vehicle bodies including engine blocks, transmissions, and mixed auto scrap. It is not designed for vehicles with intact fuel tanks or un-deployed airbags.

All vehicles must be depolluted before feeding: engine oil, transmission fluid, brake fluid, coolant, and fuel drained; battery removed; airbags deployed or removed; tires, gas tanks, and mercury switches removed. The shredder reduces mechanical size but does not neutralize chemical or fire hazards. Vehicles with intact fuel tanks or un-deployed airbags must not be fed.

Five Processing Stages

Hammer Mill Primary Shredder

High-inertia rotor with manganese steel hammers reduces vehicle bodies and mixed auto scrap to fist-sized fragments. Hydraulic feed ram maintains engagement with irregular auto hulks.

Vibratory Discharge Conveyor

Transports shredded fragments to separation stages. Screen deck removes oversized pieces and returns them for a second pass.

Overband Magnetic Separator

Suspended magnet pulls ferrous steel fragments (70-75% of vehicle body weight) from the shred stream. Discharges to stockpile or baling press.

Eddy Current Separator

Rotating magnetic field repels conductive non-ferrous metals (aluminum, copper, brass) from the residual stream. Non-ferrous fraction collected separately.

Air Classification and Residue Discharge

Light fraction (foam, textile, rubber, plastic) separated from heavy non-metallic residue. ASR discharged for disposal per local regulations.

System Configuration

Stage	Equipment
Primary Reduction	Hammer mill, hydraulic feed
Ferrous Recovery	Overband magnetic separator
Non-Ferrous Recovery	Eddy current separator
Residue Management	Air classification
Control System	Unified PLC with stage interlocks
Power Supply	50 Hz / 60 Hz configurable

The PLC manages stage sequencing and interlocks across the entire line. If the eddy current separator pauses, upstream feeding automatically stops-preventing material spillage and belt fouling.

What Each Stage Recovers

Ferrous steel typically represents 70-75% of vehicle body weight and is the primary revenue fraction, recovered by the overband magnetic separator. Non-ferrous metals from ELV feed include aluminum (body panels, engine components, transmission housings) and copper (wiring harnesses, alternators, motors), recovered by the eddy current separator. The remaining ASR (auto shredder residue) contains foam, textile, rubber, glass, plastic, and dirt-disposal or further processing requirements vary by jurisdiction.

Engineering and Support

Our engineering team configures hammer mill power, separator width, and conveyor length to match each buyer's daily vehicle processing volume. The line ships with installation supervision, operator training, and a 12-month warranty. Each machine includes a spare-parts kit; standard lead time for replacement wear parts is under 45 days. The manufacturing facility operates under ISO 9001 quality management.ent.

Frequently Asked Questions

What vehicle preparation is required before feeding?

Vehicles must be fully depolluted: all fluids drained, battery removed, airbags deployed or removed, fuel tank removed or punctured and drained, tires removed, and mercury switches removed. The shredder processes the remaining body shell, engine block, and drivetrain. Vehicles that have not been depolluted must not be fed due to fire, explosion, and environmental contamination risks.

How does the eddy current separator recover aluminum?

A rotating drum with an alternating magnetic field induces eddy currents in conductive metals. The induced current creates a repulsive force that ejects aluminum, copper, and brass from the non-metallic residue. Recovery efficiency depends on particle size distribution and feed rate. The separator is positioned after magnetic separation so ferrous metal does not interfere with the eddy current field.

What happens to the auto shredder residue (ASR)?

After ferrous and non-ferrous metals are removed, ASR contains foam, textile, rubber, plastic, glass, and dirt. Air classification separates light and heavy fractions. ASR disposal or further processing requirements vary by jurisdiction. Confirm your local waste classification regulations to determine whether ASR can be landfilled, incinerated, or requires additional processing.

Can the line process vehicles with engines and transmissions installed?

Yes, the hammer mill is designed to fragment engine blocks, transmissions, and drivetrain components along with the body shell. However, all fluids must be drained first. Cast iron engine blocks and aluminum transmission housings are reduced to fragment size and separated into ferrous and non-ferrous streams by the magnetic and eddy current separators.

Request a Detailed Proposal

To prepare an accurate quotation, include your typical daily vehicle processing volume, feed material composition (auto hulks, mixed auto scrap, or mixed with other scrap types), site power supply (voltage and frequency, 50 Hz or 60 Hz), available floor space and layout constraints, and whether you need the line configured for a specific ASR disposal or recovery process. Mention any local ELV directive compliance requirements.
