What are recycling machines metals?

These are industrial machines designed to crush, separate, classify, and process metals from industrial, urban, or dismantling waste. Their main function is to transform scrap metal into reusable material, optimizing the production cycle and reducing environmental impact.

We develop robust and efficient equipment to process aluminum, steel, copper, iron, ferrous and non-ferrous metals, adapting to any production volume and waste.

Furthermore, these machines are essential in any plant or line intended for metal recycling, as they help to maximize the recovery of raw materials and minimize operating costs.

Types of machinery metallurgical available

Industrial metal crushers

Designed to fragment bulky or high-density pieces, such as: profiles, sheets, metal scrap, automotive parts, structures…

Granulators-mills

Mills are essential for reducing material size through controlled cutting and friction. They allow for obtaining a homogeneous particle size distribution for subsequent separation or refining processes.

Pre-shredder - Shredder

These are essential pieces of equipment in metal recycling when working with heterogeneous, very large or difficult-to-process materials.

Densimetric table

It allows the separation of metals according to their density, guaranteeing an accurate classification between light and heavy materials.

turbo hydra

It is a specialized piece of equipment designed for cleaning, separating and refining metallic fractions, especially in electrical wiring recovery processes.

Cyclone

The cyclone separator is used for the extraction and pneumatic transport of metallic particles after crushing or granulation.

Conveyor belts

Metal conveyor belts ensure a constant and safe flow of material between the different stages of the process.

Magnetic Overband

Essential in any metal recycling line. They continuously extract ferrous materials from the waste stream, optimizing the performance of subsequent processes.

chain tape

It’s the ideal choice for moving heavy, abrasive, or bulky metals. Its design guarantees durability and stability even under the most demanding conditions in an industrial recycling plant.

What is metalworking machinery used for?

These machines are manufactured to fragment, separate, clean and classify different types of metals such as: aluminum, copper, steel… guaranteeing efficient, safe and cost-effective processing.

At Silmisa, we develop industrial metalworking machinery capable of handling large volumes of material, adapting to the needs of metal recycling companies, scrap yards, waste management companies, and treatment plants. Our main objective is to optimize the entire material process, from size reduction to final separation.

Main advantages of recycling metal

Metal recycling has become an essential process for modern industry, and specialized metallurgical machinery allows this treatment to become increasingly efficient, cost-effective, and sustainable.

By investing in metal recycling machinery, your company obtains direct benefits such as:

Cost savings and increased profitability

Recovering this material is one of the most profitable activities in the sector. It allows for a reduction in waste management costs, decreases the purchase of raw materials, and increases the profit margin per ton processed.

Optimization of the production process

Lines equipped with granulators, crushers, density tables and separation systems allow for: greater material purity, continuous and automated processes and less handling time.

Significant reduction of environmental impact

Recycling metal consumes 80% less energy than producing virgin material. It reduces the exploitation of natural resources, CO2 emissions, and the volume of waste sent to landfills.

Full utilization of the material

Thanks to equipment such as the turbo hydra, cyclones and magnetic separators, it is possible to recover small metallic fractions that were previously lost, increasing productivity and the final value of the material.

Preparing for the demands of the future

The metal sector is moving towards more automated and efficient processes. Having industrial machinery allows companies to comply with European regulations, increase product quality, and adapt to new business opportunities.

Increase the value of the metal waste

Leaving it in optimal condition for reuse or smelting.

How to choose the best machine for metal?

1. The type of metal to be processed

Each material requires an optimal configuration that maximizes its recovery and ensures a suitable particle size for its subsequent valorization.

2. The volume and frequency of work

For plants that process large quantities of scrap metal or metal wiring, it will be necessary to integrate high-capacity mills, pre-crushers or turbo hydras that guarantee a continuous flow.

3. The purity of the recovered material

When the goal is to obtain clean, high-value metal fractions, the choice of appropriate density tables, cyclones, overbands, and aspiration systems is key.

4. The level of automation required

Metal recycling plants are increasingly automating to reduce costs and increase safety. Equipment such as conveyor belts or chain conveyors allows for stable and continuous operation.

5. Durability and ease of maintenance

This type of machinery works with abrasive materials. It is crucial to choose equipment designed with reinforced components, anti-wear protection systems, quick access for maintenance, and readily available spare parts.

6. Technical support from the manufacturer

Receiving good support is essential when purchasing a new machine. The choice should include prior consultation, customized engineering, complete installation, and ongoing technical service.
