Frequently Asked Questions

Expert answers from 30+ years of recycling equipment manufacturing experience

Equipment Selection

What is the difference between a shredder and a crusher?

A shredder performs primary size reduction — cutting bulky waste (pipes, lumps, tires) into strips or chunks (20-50mm). A crusher performs secondary fine crushing — reducing shredded material into uniform granules (3-10mm). In a complete recycling line, material goes through shredder first, then crusher for optimal output size.

How do I choose the right shredder for my material?

Consider these factors:

  • Material type — single shaft for plastic pipes/sheets/films, double shaft for bulky/hard materials like tires and metal scraps
  • Capacity — D-600 (300-500 kg/h) to D-1200 (1000-1500 kg/h) for single shaft; SZ-800 to SZ-1500 (800-3500 kg/h) for double shaft
  • Feed size — match your material dimensions to the machine's feed opening
  • Budget — contact LVKESORT for factory direct pricing
How much does a recycling machine cost?

Pricing depends on machine type, model, capacity, and customization requirements. As a direct manufacturer, LVKESORT offers competitive factory-direct pricing without middleman markup. Contact us for a detailed quotation tailored to your specific needs.

Cable Separation

What is the cable copper-aluminum separation process?

The complete process has 5 stages:

  1. Shredding — cables cut into small pieces
  2. Crushing — further size reduction to separate metal from insulation
  3. Iron removal — magnetic separator removes ferrous metals
  4. Gravity separation — air/vibration tables separate by density
  5. Electrostatic separation — high-voltage separator achieves ≥98% copper purity

The entire process is dry — no water or chemicals needed.

What copper purity and recovery rate can the separation line achieve?

LVKESORT cable separation lines achieve copper purity ≥98% (standard models LVKE-300/500) or ≥99% (high-end models LVKE-800/1000). Recovery rate is ≥99% for standard models and ≥99.5% for high-end models.

Is the cable separation line environmentally friendly?

Yes. LVKESORT cable separation lines use dry physical separation methods — no water, no chemicals, and no burning. This eliminates secondary pollution common in traditional cable burning. The electrostatic process is clean and energy-efficient.

Service & Support

Do LVKESORT machines have CE certification?

Yes, LVKESORT recycling equipment carries CE certification meeting European safety and quality standards. We also comply with ISO 9001 quality management. All machines undergo rigorous quality testing before shipment.

What is PLC auto control and why is it important?

PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) auto control is an intelligent monitoring system that:

  • Monitors motor load and rotor speed in real time
  • Automatically reverses the rotor when overload is detected
  • Controls the hydraulic pusher feed rate for optimal throughput
  • Provides fault alarms and diagnostic codes for quick troubleshooting

PLC control reduces downtime by up to 60% and extends equipment life.

What is the warranty and after-sales support?

LVKESORT provides a standard 12-month warranty from the date of shipment. Our after-sales support includes:

  • 24/7 phone support for emergency repairs
  • Remote troubleshooting via video call
  • On-site installation and commissioning
  • Operator training
  • Spare parts supply within 72 hours

We maintain a "247365" commitment — 24 hours, 7 days, 365 days service coverage.
