Caso práctico de reciclaje de metales en Shandong (China)

Project Background

This metal recycling case site is located in Shandong, China, a region with strong industrial activity and high scrap metal output. The customer operates a mid-sized recycling yard that processes mixed industrial metal every day. Their materials mainly include steel plates, metal frames, pipes, and dismantled equipment parts. The customer wanted to upgrade their operation to improve efficiency and product consistency.

Before the upgrade, most processing relied on manual cutting and basic crushing tools. This approach caused low productivity and high labor costs. Output size was uneven, which affected resale value. The customer needed a stable solution that could support long working hours and reduce safety risks.

Customer Challenges

The customer faced several real operational problems. Scrap metal sizes varied greatly, from thin sheets to thick solid pieces. Manual cutting required skilled workers and created safety concerns. Production speed depended heavily on labor availability.

Another challenge was buyer requirements. Downstream buyers demanded uniform scrap size for easier melting and transport. The existing process could not meet this standard consistently. As a result, pricing fluctuated and profit margins remained unstable.

The customer searched for a reliable metal recycling machine that could handle mixed scrap efficiently.

Solution Planning

Our team began by reviewing material photos and on-site layout information. We discussed daily capacity targets and expected operating hours. We also confirmed available power supply and workshop space. Based on this information, we proposed a compact recycling solution focused on shredding and controlled discharge.
The system emphasized stable feeding and consistent output size.
Equipment selection prioritized torque strength and wear resistance.

The metal recycling machine was designed to process mixed materials without frequent stoppage. It reduced scrap size efficiently while maintaining smooth operation. The layout matched the customer’s site conditions and workflow.

Technical Communication

Before finalizing the order, the customer raised practical questions. They asked about blade lifespan and replacement procedures. They also asked about noise levels and daily maintenance requirements.

Our engineers explained the cutter structure and material selection in detail. We shared operating data from similar installations. We also explained how steady shredding improves downstream sorting and sales value.

Cost control was another key topic. The customer had a clear investment limit. We optimized non-critical components to reduce cost. Performance and reliability remained unchanged. The customer accepted the proposal after careful review.

Manufacturing and Testing

Production followed internal quality standards. Each component was inspected before assembly. Motors and gearboxes were tested under load conditions.

Before shipment, the metal recycling machine was tested using real scrap material. The system ran continuously without abnormal vibration. Output size remained consistent throughout the test. Temperature and current stayed within safe ranges. Test videos and inspection reports were shared with the customer. They approved delivery after reviewing the results.

Installation and Commissioning

One feeding angle required adjustment due to site constraints. The engineers modified the support structure on site. This ensured smooth feeding without delaying the project.

Commissioning followed a step-by-step process. Each unit was tested independently first. The full system was then tested with mixed scrap metal. The metal recycling machine operated smoothly from the first run.

Training and Operation

Operator training focused on daily operation and safety checks. Workers learned how to monitor sound, vibration, and load changes. They also learned proper start-up and shutdown procedures. Maintenance training covered lubrication and inspection routines. Blade wear indicators were explained clearly. The customer’s team gained confidence quickly.

After entering regular operation, the system ran steadily. Manual cutting work was largely eliminated. Labor intensity dropped significantly.

Results and Customer Feedback

The customer reported clear improvements after installation. Processing efficiency increased noticeably. Output size became more uniform. Worker safety improved due to reduced manual handling. Site management improved as well. Material flow became more organized. Work areas stayed cleaner. Maintenance planning became easier.

Project Value Summary

This metal recycling case in Shandong demonstrates the importance of practical system design. The solution addressed real problems faced by the customer. Efficiency, safety, and output quality improved together. Clear communication ensured accurate equipment selection. On-site support ensured smooth installation and commissioning. The recycling line now operates reliably every day. Our team continues to support the customer with technical guidance when needed. The project provides a strong foundation for long-term business growth.
