Scrap metal recycling equipment is used to process discarded metal materials into smaller pieces or separate different materials for further recycling. Depending on the material and processing requirements, a recycling line may use shredding, screening, magnetic separation, eddy current separation, or other sorting equipment.
The YG metal recycling equipment range includes six shredder models: YG-800, YG-1000, YG-1300, YG-1600, YG-1800, and YG-2000. Their listed processing capacities range from 700 kg/h to 25,000 kg/h, with different motor power requirements and material applications.

Scrap Metal Recycling Equipment Specifications
The following table summarizes the available model information to help buyers compare processing capacity and motor power before selecting a machine.
| Model | Processing Capacity (kg/h) | Motor Power (kW) |
| YG-800 | 700–900 | 37–45 |
| YG-1000 | 1,500–2,000 | 55–75 |
| YG-1300 | 3,000–5,000 | 140 |
| YG-1600 | 8,000–10,000 | 260 |
| YG-1800 | 13,000–17,000 | 450 |
| YG-2000 | 20,000–25,000 | 450 |
The listed capacity increases with the model size, but the appropriate machine depends on the material being processed and the required output. These figures are reference specifications; actual performance should be confirmed for the intended material and operating conditions.

3 Key Features of Industrial Scrap Metal Shredder
An industrial scrap metal shredder should be selected according to the type, dimensions, and quantity of scrap material. The supplied product information identifies six models for different metal waste categories.
1. Multiple Models for Different Capacity Requirements
The six models cover listed processing capacities from 700–900 kg/h for the YG-800 to 20,000–25,000 kg/h for the YG-2000. This range gives buyers several options when matching equipment to their planned throughput.
2. Different Motor Power Configurations
Motor power ranges from 37–45 kW on the YG-800 to 450 kW on the YG-1800 and YG-2000. The YG-1300 is listed at 140 kW, while the YG-1600 is listed at 260 kW.
When comparing machines, buyers should consider motor power together with processing capacity and material characteristics rather than using power alone to determine performance.
3. Material-Specific Model Options
The product information associates different models with different types of scrap:
- YG-800: Used for small metal items such as discarded beverage cans, oil filters, and milk powder cans.
- YG-1000: Suitable for waste paint buckets, color-coated steel sheets, and scrap iron sheets.
- YG-1300: Listed for rack materials, light and thin scrap, and motor rotors.
- YG-1600: Listed for discarded bicycles and motorcycles.
- YG-1800: Listed for waste steel plates, steel pipes, plastic-steel materials, and doors and windows.
- YG-2000: Listed for car shells and large discarded household appliances.
These material examples provide an initial guide, but the maximum acceptable material thickness and dimensions should be confirmed before ordering.

Metal Scrap Processing Equipment: What Does a Recycling Line Include?
Metal scrap processing equipment can include several types of machines, depending on whether the main requirement is size reduction, material separation, or further recovery.
The supplied information lists the following equipment for metal recycling lines:
- Magnetic separator: Used to separate ferrous metal materials based on magnetic properties.
- Air separator: Uses airflow to separate lighter and heavier materials.
- Eddy current separator: Uses electromagnetic induction to separate conductive non-ferrous metals, such as aluminum and copper, from mixed materials.
- Density separator: Uses differences in material density to separate different fractions.
- Shredding equipment: Reduces the size of scrap materials for subsequent processing.
Not every recycling project requires all these machines. The configuration should depend on the incoming material, the separation objective, and the desired output. The exact equipment combination and line layout should be confirmed with the supplier.

FAQ About Scrap Metal Crusher
The listed model examples include beverage cans, oil filters, paint buckets, steel sheets, motor rotors, bicycles, motorcycles, steel pipes, car shells, and discarded household appliances. Confirm material compatibility before selecting a model, particularly for mixed scrap or unusually thick materials.
Start with four details: material type, maximum feed dimensions, material thickness, and target processing capacity. Compare these requirements with the model specifications and ask the supplier to confirm compatibility before ordering.
The source lists a screen size of 60–70 mm and notes that changing the screen opening affects the finished particle size and output. A smaller screen opening can produce smaller pieces and reduce processing capacity. Confirm the required finished size and applicable screen configuration with the supplier.
The source describes several separation methods, including magnetic, gravity, eddy current, and air separation. Which equipment is needed depends on the materials entering the line and the intended separation results. A complete configuration should be determined from the actual material mixture and processing requirements.
