Aluminum composite panels (ACP) have a design lifespan of several decades and are highly resilient in outdoor environments. Each panel consists of two thin aluminum layers permanently bonded to a plastic core. This multi-layered structure renders conventional crushing or shredding methods insufficient. Without a specialized delamination process, the aluminum and plastic remain partially bonded, resulting in a low-purity mixture with minimal market value. This explains why many early recycling attempts failed—not due to equipment quality, but because ACP recycling cannot rely on standalone machinery; it requires a fully integrated and coordinated processing line.

ACP Separation Recycling Solutions

The process begins with pre-shredding (via an optional single or double-shaft shredder) to reduce large panels into uniform pieces. Subsequently, mechanical crushing (knife crusher) and fine grinding break the bond between the aluminum sheets and the plastic core. A water-cooled turbine mill plays a crucial role here, effectively managing thermal buildup while ensuring efficient material separation. Following size classification via a rotary screening system, a dual-stage electrostatic separator isolates the aluminum from the plastic, yielding high-purity aluminum. Supported by dust extraction, airflow control, and a centralized PLC system, the entire line ensures a clean, stable, and automated operation.

Q1: Can this system handle my specific ACP materials?
A: We understand that real-world waste is rarely “perfect.” Our system is specifically designed for the complexity of actual waste streams, including mixed thicknesses, various coatings, and high-adhesive ACP. To give you 100% certainty, we offer a “Test Before You Buy” service—you can send us samples of your most challenging materials, and we will provide a detailed performance report to ensure the system meets your exact processing needs.

Q2: Is the recovered aluminum ready for direct resale without further cleaning?
A: Yes. Our goal is to maximize your ROI (Return on Investment). By using high-precision grinding and dual electrostatic separation, we achieve a purity level of up to 99%. This is “smelter-ready” aluminum that commands premium market prices. You can sell it directly to refineries or remelt it on-site without any costly secondary washing or chemical treatments.

Q3: Will this equipment comply with my local regulations and power standards?
A: We provide a turnkey solution tailored to your local environment. The system includes customized voltage configurations and a PLC automated control system for easy operation. Most importantly, it features an integrated industrial dust collection and noise reduction system, ensuring you meet local environmental and safety standards. Whether in extreme heat or strict regulatory zones, the equipment is built for continuous, reliable performance.
