End-of-life vehiclesrecycling plant
Our plants for end-of-life vehicles integrate shredding, grinding, and separation processes, ensuring the full recovery of all metal fractions. The solutions also include the efficient treatment of ASR (Car-Fluff), which is transformed into high-quality secondary raw material.
Key strengths
Modular systems
The treatment technologies allow to achieve the particle size and degree of separation best suited to company needs. A wide range of separation accessories can be integrated at any time to maximize the recovery and valorization of secondary raw materials.
Mechanical treatment
Panizzolo solutions apply only mechanical and in-line treatment cycles, optimizing the process in terms of simplicity, costs, and production results.
Low management costs
Delivered as turnkey solutions, Panizzolo plants guarantee operating costs below the market average, increasing productivity and improving overall profitability.
Centralised management
The Panizzolo software ensures centralized control of all plant technologies. It automatically monitors and adjusts process parameters, providing operators with a simple and intuitive touchscreen interface.
Treatment flexibility
Thanks to specific patented elements, the machines can adapt the type and size of input material according to the scrap and customer requirements. The plants efficiently process depolluted end-of-life vehicles, car packs, car engines, and ASR.

The grinding cycle
For the profitable treatment of end-of-life vehicles, Panizzolo plants are designed to be modular and adaptable to different production needs. The process starts with volume reduction using industrial shredders, followed by grinding with hammer mills. Depending on the objectives, the layout can be completed with a wide range of accessories for the separation and recovery of ferrous and non-ferrous metals, ensuring a high-quality output.
Refining of ASR or Car-Fluff
The Panizzolo refining plant recovers the metals contained in ASR or Car-Fluff, a compound made up of glass, fibres, rubber, plastics, and a significant percentage of steel, copper, and aluminium. Once considered too complex and wearing to process, it can now be efficiently recovered thanks to our technologies. The patented refiner mills are designed to withstand high percentages of steel, plastics, and inerts, profitably recovering copper, brass, and aluminium granules. The treatments, fully mechanical and in-line, ensure clean metal outputs free from contaminants, classifiable as high-quality secondary raw materials.
