Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of solid phase regeneration of metal waste, and in particular to a method and equipment for recycling metal waste. Background Art

[0002] Scrap metal resources are called "urban mines" because of their large quantity and low mining cost. The energy consumption of mining is much lower than that of primary metals. For example, compared with the production of aluminum and aluminum alloy products through electrolysis of aluminum ore, the energy consumption of secondary aluminum production accounts for only 3%-5% of the energy consumption of primary aluminum. Under the premise of resource shortage and increased environmental awareness, recycled metals have become the main source of metal raw materials.

[0003] In the process of metal from raw materials to products, various forms of scrap will be caused. The main way to recycle large metal blocks is to directly return them to the furnace and add medium metal blocks after melting. Large metal blocks are irregular, and both transportation and smelting take up a lot of volume. Crushing them is convenient for transportation and reduces smelting time. The existing crusher system is not perfect and inefficient, and sorting and transportation are basically done manually. Small metal blocks such as cutting scraps, shot blasting, sandblasting scraps, etc. do not need to be crushed but are easily mixed with the above two types of waste, or all the scraps are piled together and sold, which is actually a huge waste of metal materials.

[0004] If small metal blocks are directly placed in the melting furnace, they tend to float on the surface of the melt, react with oxygen at high temperature to form oxides, and are removed in the subsequent slag removal process, which wastes energy and recycles less metal. For example, the aluminum recovery rate is only about 55% for remelting medium metal blocks and aluminum alloy small metal blocks; hot extrusion recycling of aluminum has a low solid phase regeneration heating temperature, less oxidation, less waste of small metal blocks, and a recovery rate of up to 95%, saving about 96% of energy, and excellent mechanical properties, which are higher than cast metals, and are favored by people.

[0005] Patent CN212371734U provides a method for recycling aluminum chips in a cutting mechanism, which effectively solves the problem of collecting aluminum chips in aluminum profiles; Patent CN204843693U provides a method for directly transporting aluminum chips in a cutting mechanism to a smelting furnace; Patent CN113020309A provides a gradient hot extrusion device with continuously variable extrusion rate, extrusion temperature and extrusion ratio. Alloy chips can be extruded by adding metals such as rare earth elements, or made into prefabricated blocks and various alloys for smelting. The oxidation of medium and small metal blocks is reduced after extrusion, and the recovery rate is improved.

[0006] The existing screening machine does not consider screening metal blocks of different sizes and taking them out through different outlets. The existing extruder has a small number of moldings at one time, and generally only improves the mold without considering improving the extruder. Summary of the invention

[0017] Step 3 pre-compaction can be omitted.

[0018] The heating and heat preservation in step 3 and step 4 can be omitted, or cold pressing can be performed first and then hot extrusion can be performed.
