Which Parts Of Scrap Car Can Be Recycled?

A car has about 30,000 parts. These range from small bolts to large exterior panels that protect the interior. Most of these can be reused in industry or melted down into new materials.

Headlights, seats, mirror wheels, undamaged car parts, and even engine parts in good condition can be reused directly. Many of the remaining other components can be safely and feasibly installed into different vehicles of the same brand.

Metals can be recycled and sent to metal recycling facilities.

Windows and windshields can be removed and recycled into new products. We provide the windshield recycling machine that can separate the PVB film from windshield and laminated glass.

Waste tires can be recycled into rubber particles or rubber powder, and even pyrolysis into oil.

Batteries, also known as “wet cells,” can be recycled by breaking the battery down into its individual parts: lead, silver, plastic, and acid. While melting the lead and neutralizing the acid, the valuable parts can be extracted for reuse.

Plastics can be recycled into plastic granules physically or melted down to make new products.

How to recycle the scrap car?

There are many steps involved in recycling a car, and each step needs to be done correctly and thoroughly to ensure that the car is handled and recycled in a way that has a positive impact on the environment.

Disassembly

Once the car has been inspected for recycling, it can be disassembled for all parts. All fluids, including oil, coolant, and fuel, are drained and properly disposed of. The battery and tires are removed and all usable parts are recycled. The waste tires and batteries need to recycle separately. We provide tire recycling lines and battery recycling lines. You can read tire recycling plant to learn more, if you have any questions and interests, feel free to consult us.

Crushing

When only the metal frame of the car is left after disassembly, the vehicle is compressed into a more compact shape and easier to transport to the crusher, which will help in the next stage of the process. Then put the compact metal frame into the car shredder and tear it into small metal fragments.

Separation and Sorting

It is easier to separate and sort the metal fragments with the help of an eddy current separator. The machine allows the metals to be collected for both ferrous and non-ferrous metal recovery.

Melting and Disposal

Once the metals have been sorted into their corresponding piles, they can be sent to be melted, where the material will be remade into reusable metal. This recycled metal is then put back into manufacturing to help produce new goods and products, reducing the need for mining materials. Anything that can’t be recycled is disposed of safely and responsibly, without causing further damage to the planet.
