Detailed Explanation of the Decoating Line for UBC and Aluminum Profiles

UBC recycling (Used Beverage Cans recycling) has become one of the fastest-growing segments, driven by the increasing demand for secondary aluminum in packaging, automotive, and construction sectors. However, one persistent challenge continues to affect recyclers worldwide: the presence of coatings, paints, and organic residues on scrap aluminum, which can negatively impact both processing efficiency and final product quality.

What are the essential modules of a complete decoating line for UBC (Used Beverage Cans) and aluminum profiles?
A complete UBC decoating production line typically includes shredding, crushing, dust removal, decoating, and exhaust gas treatment. Shredders and hammer crushers reduce baled or loose scrap to a uniform particle size of 30–50 mm for stable feeding. Pulse dust collection systems maintain a clean working environment, while the high-temperature decoating furnace serves as the core process. Integrated exhaust gas treatment systems ensure compliance with environmental emission standards. The entire line can be customized to suit your specific capacity and investment budget.

A UBC aluminum can decoating furnace is a high-temperature continuous system designed to remove paint coatings, ink layers, and organic contaminants from aluminum scrap, including used beverage cans, aluminum profiles, paint drums, and mixed aluminum parts. By removing coatings before melting, the system enhances aluminum purity, minimizes metal loss, and significantly increases the recycling value and profitability.

The furnace operates based on controlled pyrolysis technology. Under high temperatures, paint and organic coatings are carbonized and converted into powder, which separates from the aluminum surface, while the aluminum remains intact without oxidation or property degradation. High-quality systems can achieve a paint removal rate of up to 99.9%, ensuring clean aluminum scrap and stable, energy-efficient continuous operation. Integrating a decoating furnace into an aluminum recycling line brings significant economic and operational benefits. Clean aluminum sells at higher prices, reduces smelting impurities and metal loss, lowers fuel consumption.
