How to Recycle AC radiator

Every scrapper’s dream is to find a “jackpot” of metal that is ripe for the picking. If you have any type of experience under your belt, you’ll know that “jackpots” are not happened upon often...unless, you happen to find an AC radiator.


These are the non-ferrous tube systems that are used to compress air and radiator off heat. The bigger the AC unit, the larger its radiator are and the more valuable it is.
Scrap radiators come in a few different flavors: aluminum, copper-aluminum, and copper-brass. When it comes to scrap air conditioner radiators, however, they are almost exclusively copper-aluminum. That is to say, they have aluminum fins with copper tubes.

To get the best prices for your scrap radiators, you will want to clean them up! This doesn’t mean you should pull out the soap and water. This means you need to remove all steel contamination from the aluminum/copper. This means cutting off the steel with sawzall or circular saw. After cutting off the steel , be weary of the hydraulic oil that will drain out the scrap AC units and scrap radiators/condenser coils.



In fact, if you have the way to get large amounts of radiators, you can get more profits by using AC Radiator Recycling Machine[/URL]. It can realize the perfect separation of copper tube and aluminum fins without any damage and copper loss. This machine is a real money maker. Find it on our website quickly!

Dude, that machine is wired for 380V no one in the two american continents can use it,
and it is dated anyhow, everyone just granulates rads and eddies out the aluminum now days,
that machine hates curved, bent, material... so it hates baled rads, which is the only way you are going to get the sort of volume that will make it pay for it's self

stop trying to sell antiques as viable equipment

Can't it be used in North America? What's the voltage of your place? I feel curious about it.

220 VAC 60 HZ residential with a 480y/277 for industrial aplications

and yes we could probably get your machine to run with a shortened life of the motor, but it is still an "antique"

Why do you think it is antique? It is fact that some of Ac radiator may be distorted when processed and some are still in good shape. For the former, there is radiator recycling plant, suitable for both kinds. For the latter, this radiator recycling machine is enough because of its competitive price and high efficiency. In my country, they are very glad to own this machine because they have large amount of radiators in good shape. So I am a little puzzled if the scrappers in your country can't get quality AC radiator scrap.

And its voltage can be customized according to the customer's need.

i'll bite. what other site could they be spamming trying to sell INDUSTRIAL recycling equipment???

P.S. I dont really mind them showing equipment, but show me something good, something I have not seen, something I might find useful, the equipment they are showing is too big for the average scrapper here, and too small for a medium -large yard.

the radiator machine is great if a can get someone to operate it for a slice of bread a day

The Scrap Metal Forum isn't the only scrap forum out there. I frequent a few and I'm sure there are others, but none as good as the SMF.

As far as them showing/selling equipment, I feel like they should purchase a Buyers and Sellers membership. Forum rules and the Moderators have told them the same thing and have deleted some of their posts.

If you move your business to certain countries, you could could hire employees for a slice of bread a day. Hell, give them 2 and they could make a few soccer balls also.

If I moved a business from it's current market to another, I would not have access to the same scrap, why not just ship scrap to a country with cheap labour and take advantage of that? Oh and of course I do not have to move to said nasty country :-) QED.
