Aluminum dross machine
Aluminum dross machine
In the melting production process, because aluminum scrap contains stainless steel, copper, iron, oxides and other impurities, it will generate a certain quantity of aluminum dross in the production.
Aluminum metal in the aluminum dross can share 18-75% of the total aluminum dross quantity.
Aluminum dross machine equipment is mainly applied for the treatment of high-temperature aluminum dross on the furnace site.
The purpose is to recover the metal aluminum from hot aluminum dross, reduce the loss and reduce material costs, increase the profit.
The working principle of the aluminum dross machine is to increase the temperature of high-temperature aluminum dross evenly by stirring, and to make the aluminum dross move to generate friction through stirring and moving, destroying the oxide film coated on the outside of the aluminum liquid, so that the aluminum liquid is collected and discharged.
The dross stirring system is the core of the whole set of equipment, which undertakes the tasks of heating up the aluminum dross and separating the aluminum from the aluminum dross.
It is mainly composed of the frame, guard plate, heatproof pot, shaft, stirrer, transmission, reducer and motor.
The frame plays a supporting role, in order to facilitate transportation and container loading, the top and bottom separate structures are adopted, and the guard plates play the role of the enclosure.
The heatproof pot is fixed on the bottom frame, and the pot is provided with a liquid aluminum discharging hole, the dross outlet and an opening and closing device for the dross outlet.
The stirring device is set on the top frame, and the stirring device is driven by the motor through the belt to the cycloid reducer.
The cycloid reducer is directly connected with the stirring reducer. The output shaft of the stirring reducer can be lifted up and down, and the output shaft drives the stirrer rotates and stirs in the operation.
The dust collector system includes the collection hood, pipeline, fan, cyclone dust collector, water mist dust collector, baghouse dust collector, and can be equipped with dry or wet dust removal or dry-wet mixed dust removal according to the standards of environmental protection requirements, and can meet the emission standards.
The cooling system is to cool the dross after the processing to achieve the condition of bagging to avoid burning again.
The cooling system adopts a water-cooled drum structure, and the discharge temperature is below 60°C.
The cooling system and the dross pot of the aluminum dross machine are directly connected through the launder, and the dust removal system is shared with aluminum dross machine, which can be selected by the customers according to the situation
Aluminum dross machine can be called a magic weapon for aluminum dross processing, and it is being applied by thousands of alloys factories, scrap recycling factories, secondary aluminum production factories, casting factories and extrusion factories, etc.
The main component of the aluminum dross is aluminum oxide.
At present, many comprehensive utilization methods of aluminum dross have been developed at home and abroad for the recovery of aluminum dross.
Aluminium Dross Machine FAQ
How much aluminium is recovered which can be charged back into melting furnace?
More than 90% aluminum metal can be extracted from aluminium dross, cast as aluminium ingot, or be charged back into melting furnace.
Can this be used for both hot and cold aluminium dross?
Our aluminium dross machine is only for hot dross, which can extract more than 90% aluminium from hot dross.
If it is for cold dross, aluminium dross pulverizer, dross sieving and magnetic separator can be applied for small quantity cold dross, for big quantity, ball mill and sieving system can be applied.

Can this be used for both white and black dross?
Yes, our aluminum dross machine can be used for both white and black dross, which means it is for hot dross from primary or secondary melting processes.
White dross is formed during the primary Al refining process, while black dross is formed during the secondary refining process, which uses relatively large amounts of Chloride salt fluxes.
White dross is formed during the primary production of aluminum and contains a high percentage of an aluminum substance such as Al, Al2O3, and it is delivered from essential and optional aluminum flux. White dross consists of a greater amount of metallic aluminum substance, i.e., 15 to 75% and < 5% salts. It consists of fine powder separated from the liquid aluminum.
Black dross consists of a small amount of metal substance and is created at the time of the secondary aluminum refining processes. Black dross involves a mix of aluminum oxides and slag, with recoverable aluminum content in the range of 12%–18%. More salt substance, e.g., > 40%, stood out from the white dross.
What are the products and the residue material after the dross processing?
Aluminum is found in the dross mainly as metal aluminum, aluminum nitride and aluminum oxide. In addition, the dross contains minor amounts of oxides and other components of Ti, Cu, Fe, Ca, Zn, S, K and Na. content.
After the dross processing, the main components are aluminum oxide and aluminum nitride.
What is the processing capacity of your dross machines?
Our aluminium dross machine can process 100-500 kgs hot dross per run based on different models, 10-12 minutes mechanical processing per run, no need any chemical flux.
What is the recovery rate of your dross machine?
More than 90% aluminium from hot aluminium dross.
Give one example, 100kgs hot aluminium dross, if 40kgs aluminium in the dross, 36kgs aluminum can be extracted with our machine.
Then the dross can be cooled with the dross cooling machine to avoid aluminum burning in natural cooling, ball mill and sieving for secondary recovery, which can increase aluminium recovery rate.
What is the energy consumption and cost of operation?
Our aluminum dross machine does not need any fuel in the operation, mainly make full use of the residual heating from aluminium dross, mechanical stirring for the aluminum extraction, liquid aluminium will be separated based on the difference of physical property and the specific gravity between solid materials and liquid materials.
The installed capacity of our aluminum dross machine is 7.75KW,10KW,12KW for different models.
Do you use only mechanical processing for extracting aluminum or use salt fluxes?
Our aluminum dross machine can extract aluminum with fully mechanical stirring.
We don’t need to add any chemical flux to recover aluminum from aluminum dross.
But if the dross temperature is not hot enough, we can put some heating flux to quickly heat the dross temperature to get a better recovery rate.
Is there any hazardous waste / dust produced? Any environmental problems?
No, 90% aluminum can be extracted from hot dross by our aluminum dross machine, the main components are aluminum oxide and aluminum nitride.
Our aluminum dross processing machine is equipped with a cyclone dust collector.
For aluminium dross processing, cooling, ball mill and sieving system, we can connect it with baghouse dust collector for environment protection and it is eco-friendly.
Are these machines suitable for aluminium remelt facilities (secondary)? We have plants which produce between 10 -100 MT/day both primary and secondary.
Yes, our aluminium dross processing machine can be applied for primary and secondary melting.
Our aluminium dross processing system is workable for 10-100 MT/day both primary and secondary, our dross machine can extract 90% aluminium from hot aluminium dross, then quick cooling to avoid the burning, crush and grind the dross with ball mill, then sieve it to different grades for the recycling. There is still 5-10% aluminium in the big powder aluminium dross and it can be charged back in rotary furnace or melting furnace.
What is the cost of your aluminium dross machines?
