Aluminum Scrap

Aluminium scrap is a type of mixed non-ferrous metal scrap primarily composed of aluminium (70-90%) and other non-ferrous metals such as copper, brass, zinc, and magnesium. It is generated from the shredding of end-of-life vehicles (ELVs), household appliances, aluminium cans, packaging, and construction materials.

Key specifications

• Aluminium content: 70-90%
• Other non-ferrous metals: Copper, brass, zinc, magnesium
• Possible contaminants: Rubber, plastic, paper, and foil
• Density: 2.7-4.5 g/cm³ depending on composition
• Size: Typically ranges from 1-3 inches

Due to its mixed nature,  aluminium scrap undergoes further separation processes such as eddy current separation, flotation, and sensor-based sorting to extract pure aluminium and other valuable metals.
