The treatment of end-of-life vehicles (ELVs) is one of the most complex processes in the industrial recycling sector. Ancar. car contains metals, plastics, glass, electronic components, fluids, and mechanical parts that must be separated and recovered as efficiently as possible. In this context, the pre-shredder BRAVO has become a key technology for improving safety, productivity, and the quality of the output material.
The ELVs are cars, vans, or industrial vehicles that have reached the end of their life cycle. Before being sent to Hammers Mills they must be:
Once decontamination is complete, the vehicle must be reduced in volume so that it can be processed by shredders or hammer mills, and the TAURUS BRAVO pre-shredder is the ideal solution.
The BRAVO pre-shredder, with counter-rotating horizontal shafts, is used upstream of hammer mills in scrap grinding plants to perform an initial volume reduction of the vehicle or its parts (bodies, frames, engines, side panels, bumpers, tanks, ecc.).
The result is a pre-treated, homogeneous material ready for the next stage.
In the treatment -of-life vehicles (ELVs), il pre-shredder plays a fundamental role because it allows the material to be processed in a safer, more efficient, and more controlled manner.
One of the main advantages is the reduction in vehicle volume. The BRAVO pre-shredder is capable of crushing and fragmenting bodies, frames, engines and all the complex metal parts that make up acar.. Thanks to this initial processing, the material arrives at the main shredder already reduced and more homogeneous, facilitating feeding and making the entire process much more stable.
Another crucial aspect is safety.End -of-life vehicles (ELVs) may still contain fuel residues, flammable vapors, pressurized components, or elements that could generate sparks in the grinding chamber of hammers mills. By operating at low speed, Bravo drastically reduces these risk conditions and helps prevent fires or explosions in the next stage.
The pre-shredder BRAVO also protects the Hammers Mill.During pre-crushing, it intercepts particularly large pieces, engine blocks, high-density elements, or foreign bodies that may have escaped initial remediation. Preventing these materials from reaching the mill means reducing damage, preventing costly downtime, and extending the useful life of the machines.
Another benefit concerns the separation of materials. Thanks to pre-shredding, iron, aluminum, copper, plastics, and glass are easier to distinguish and separate in subsequent stages. This not only improves the quality of the recovered material, but also increases its economic value.
At last, the pre-shredder contributes significantly to the productivity of the plant. A constant and homogeneous flow to the Hammers mill means less vibration, greater operational continuity, and reduced energy consumption. In other words, the entire plant works better, longer, and at lower costs.
The adoption of a pre-shredder also brings concrete economic benefits:
The pre-shredder BRAVO is now one of the most strategic elements for modern recycling plants.
