Kami copper aluminum radiator separator is a compact stripping machine that pulls the copper tubes out of bonded radiator assemblies, leaving the aluminum fin pack separate — so both metals sell at clean-metal prices instead of mixed-scrap prices. Shuliy builds it in two working capacities: the 850 model at 300–400 kg/h dan 1200 model at 500–600 kg/h, each supplied with a 345B cutting saw, drawing 10 kW in total from a 2×3 m or 3×3 m corner of a workshop. Factory price: USD 8,500 (850) and USD 10,000 (1200).

This is the entry-level machine for small factories and scrap stations: one operator, no dust tower, no PLC hall — a real alternative to paying hands to tear radiators apart one by one. For operations that need above 600 kg/h or 99%-pure copper and aluminum fractions, see our full copper aluminum radiator recycling line instead.

What the copper aluminum radiator separator machine does

• Separate copper from aluminum. Copper tubes come out of the radiator core intact, and the aluminum fins leave as their own pile — each fraction sells at its own market price, raising the recovery value of every unit processed.
• Multiply recycling efficiency. Mechanical stripping replaces manual dismantling, so one station turns out 300–600 kg of separated metal per hour instead of a few radiators per shift by hand.
• Raise metal purity for sale and smelting. With less copper mixed into the aluminum fraction (and vice versa), downstream sorting, selling and furnace charging all get cleaner.
• Cut labor cost. Built for used-radiator collection stations and metal recycling workshops that cannot justify a full sorting plant but are drowning in manual teardown work.

How the copper aluminum radiator separator works

Each order ships as a matched pair — the cutting saw opens the assembly, the stripping machine does the separation:

1. Cut. The 345B cutting saw (tool steel blade, 3 kW) slices through the radiator frame and welded joints so the core opens up.
2. Strip. The radiator goes into the 850 or 1200 stripping machine (3 + 4 kW), whose rotating 9CrSi blades grip the bonded fin pack and peel the copper tubes free.
3. Sort into two piles. Copper tubes and aluminum fins discharge as separate fractions, ready to weigh, sell or charge to a furnace.

Why this radiator separator machine suits small factories

• Ten kilowatts, not hundreds. A complete two-unit line draws 10 kW — a normal small-workshop supply, customized to your local voltage — with no dust tower or water-cooled crusher to install.
• Two-to-three-meter footprint. At 2×3 m (850) or 3×3 m (1200), the machine fits beside a scale and a couple of collection bins — no dedicated production hall.
• Entry price you can calculate against labor. At USD 8,500–10,000, the payback case is simple: an hour of clean copper and aluminum fractions replaces a shift of hand-tearing.
• Blades are the whole wear story. 9CrSi alloy tool steel handles bonded fins and tube walls; when output drops, replacing blades — not the machine — restores it. Five spares ship with each unit.

Choosing between 850 and 1200 — and when to go bigger

Throughput follows the blade count: 65 blades give 300–400 kg/h, 110 blades give 500–600 kg/h. If your daily intake is a ton or two of mixed radiators, the 1200 keeps the pile moving; below that, the 850 costs USD 1,500 less for the same copper recovery.

If you need more than 600 kg/h, want the iron fraction separated too, or must reach 99% metal purity for direct smelter sales, step up to the six-stage radiator recycling machine (500–2,000 kg/h). For finishing the aluminum fraction after stripping, a eddy current separator polishes out remaining metal fines.
