Is the radiator recycling industry profitable?

The radiator recycling industry does have the potential to make money. The profits of the radiator recycling industry mainly come from the copper and aluminum extracted from waste radiators. Most radiators on the market are composed of copper and aluminum, which are recyclable metals and can be sold for the second time. Therefore, disassembling copper and aluminum from radiators can make lucrative profits. However, the specific profitability will be affected by many factors. The following is some analysis of the profitability of the radiator recycling industry:

Radiator crushing and separation machine

1. Recycling cost:

The costs of the radiator recycling industry mainly include the purchase cost of waste radiators, equipment operating costs (such as power consumption, equipment depreciation, etc.), labor costs, and other costs that may be incurred (such as transportation, storage, etc.). These costs vary depending on factors such as region, scale, and technology, but are generally within a controllable range.

2. Recycling benefits:

Radiators are mainly composed of copper, aluminum, and a small amount of iron and impurities. In the market, the prices of copper and aluminum fluctuate greatly, but generally speaking, the recycling price of copper is higher, while the price of aluminum is relatively low. In order to make a lucrative profit from waste radiators, copper and aluminum of good quality and high purity are necessary. Traditional manual processing and chemical separation methods will damage the quality of metals and the separation is not clean. Therefore, mechanical separation has become the mainstream method for processing radiators.

Through professional crushing and separation equipment, copper, aluminum and other metals in waste radiators can be efficiently recycled.

After years of research and practice, the technology of fully automatic radiator crushing and separation equipment manufactured by DOING has become very mature. DOING radiator separation equipment adopts dry physical separation method, which will not damage the quality of radiators. After three processes of negative pressure baffle separation, magnetic separation and airflow specific gravity separation, copper and aluminum with a purity of up to 99% can be separated, and their quality and purity are guaranteed. ‌

‌Taking a 500kg/h air conditioner radiator crushing and separation equipment as an example, 4 tons of waste air conditioner radiators are processed every day. The cost includes the cost of recycling waste radiators, electricity consumption, labor costs, etc. The total cost is about US$12,513. ‌ The copper and aluminum extracted from these radiators are sold at US$3,500/ton and US$1,050/ton respectively. After removing the cost, the total profit per day is about US$3,330.

3. Market demand:

‌With the continuous development of electronic products, electricity, automobiles, industrial production and other fields, as well as the rise of emerging technologies such as new energy and artificial intelligence, the market demand for the radiator recycling industry will continue to grow. This will bring more profit opportunities and development potential to the industry. At the same time, with the strengthening of environmental protection policies and the improvement of public environmental awareness, the recycling and reuse of waste radiators will also receive more policy support and market recognition.
