How to recycle copper and aluminum in air conditioner radiators

Release time:2025-04-23

The most common thing in daily life is air conditioning, and the heat sinks used in air conditioners are basically made of copper tubes, of which the copper content is about 60%, aluminum accounts for 35%, and iron accounts for about 5%. Compared with other raw materials, the metal content is higher and the metal resources are of relatively high quality.

The water tank radiator in a general car is also the air conditioning radiator that we often use in our lives. The copper content is about 55%, the aluminum content is about 40%, the iron content is about 5%, and the copper-aluminum content is about 5%, which is relatively average. So how to recycle the copper and aluminum in the air conditioning radiator?

There is a device called a tube stripping machine. As the name suggests, it is a machine used to strip copper tubes. The copper tubes in the air conditioning radiator can be stripped off by the physical extrusion of the machine, and the remaining is aluminum foil. However, the tube stripping machine is only suitable for flat single-layer heat sinks and cannot handle irregular-shaped heat sinks. As for those heat sinks with irregular shapes and large thicknesses that are difficult to handle, they need to be processed with the help of heat sink crushing and sorting equipment. The "waste air conditioning radiator copper tube aluminum foil separation machine" produced by Yuteng Machinery has the advantages of reasonable design, simple operation, low separation cost, low labor intensity, strong and durable, not easy to damage, small footprint, and low investment. It can process 2-4 tons of radiators a day, and recyclers can sell copper and aluminum separately to increase income. The machine is easy to operate, highly efficient, and labor-saving. It is a good equipment for sanitation and environmental protection, and has good social and economic benefits.
