Our dedicated and experienced company is proud to offer comprehensive vehicle recycling shredder for both domestic and commercial customers all over the world. Even when a vehicle reaches the end of its life, there is still value in it. While it's common for people to say it “goes to the scrapyard,” it actually heads to recycling. Vehicle recycling is the dismantling of vehicles for spare parts. At the end of their useful life, vehicles have value as a source and this has created a vehicle dismantling industry. The industry has various names including wrecking yard, auto dismantling yard, car spare parts supplier, and recently, auto or vehicle recycling. Vehicle recycling has always occurred to some degree but in recent years manufacturers have become involved in the process. A car shredder machine is often used to reduce the size of the scrapped vehicle for transportation to a steel mill.
The process of recycling a vehicle is extremely complicated as there are many parts to be recycled and many hazardous materials to remove. Once a vehicle goes to the recycler, the first step is to determine what to keep. Components that are still in good working condition, or any body parts or panels that are in good shape, are kept and catalogued for future sale.
Briefly, the process begins with incoming vehicles being inventoried for parts. The wheels and tires, battery and catalytic converter are removed. Fluids, such as engine coolant, oil, transmission fluid, air conditioning refrigerant, and gasoline, are drained and removed. Certain high value parts such as electronic modules, alternators, starter motors, infotainment systems - even complete engines or transmissions - may be removed if they are still serviceable and can be profitably sold on.
Tires are sent for recycling, where they become new products such as playground surfaces or roofing. There isn't an established recycling path for high-tech material such as carbon fibre in place right now, but recyclers haven't yet started to get much of it in scrapped vehicles. Once the vehicle is stripped, it's flattened in a giant press to make it easier to handle, and from there it goes to a shredder. Unless the seats and interior trim can be reused, they're usually left inside. Metals are separated out using magnets or compressed air. The remainder, mostly plastic, carpet, glass, and seat fabric, is spread on landfills to reduce odour and pests.
We think that, over time, they're going to go back in and mine that landfill because the technology to recover non-ferrous metals has gone up dramatically, as well as the metals' price. Some of the shredders are already putting in flotation technology and optical identification to get smaller pieces of metal out, and finding that it pays.
