Efficient Paint Removal Line for UBC Aluminum Cans Recycling

May 08 , 2025

The UBC Aluminum Cans Paint Removing Line is a specialized system designed to strip surface coatings from used beverage cans (UBCs) before smelting, ensuring high-purity aluminum recovery.

Process Workflow

1．Pre-Shredding: Packed UBCs are torn apart and shredded into small pieces (20-50mm) using a hammer mill, increasing surface area for efficient paint removal.

2．Thermal Decoating: Shredded material enters a continuous decoating furnace, where high temperatures (500-600°C) pyrolyze 99% of paints and coatings without oxidizing the aluminum.

3．Emission Control: Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are treated via afterburners and scrubbers, meeting environmental standards.

Key Features

1．High Capacity: Models range from 500kg/h to 1500kg/h (e.g., DT-2000 with 61.3KW power).

2．Energy Efficiency: Indirect heating preserves aluminum yield (>97%).

3．Versatility: Also processes e-waste, separating metals from plastics via pyrolysis.

Key Advantages

1．High Efficiency: Removes 99% coatings with continuous operation (500-1500kg/h capacity).

2．Energy Saving: Indirect heating reduces oxidation, preserving 97%+ aluminum yield.

3．Eco-Friendly: Integrated VOC treatment (scrubbers/afterburners) meets emission standards.

4．Cost-Effective: Clean flakes cut smelting costs by reducing slag and flux usage.

5．Durable Design: Alloy-cast parts and premium burners ensure long-term reliability.

6．Versatile: Processes both UBCs and e-waste (metal-plastic separation).

This line combines high efficiency, low operational costs, and eco-friendly design, making it ideal for modern recycling plants.
