SA Copper Scraps is Adelaide's trusted scrap metal buyer, proudly serving homeowners, tradespeople, manufacturers, and farmers right across South Australia.
Aluminium copper radiators (also called coils or heat exchangers) contain valuable mixed metals — premium aluminium on the outside and high-quality copper tubing inside. Whether you have car radiators, air conditioning coils, industrial heat exchangers, or machinery radiators, SA Copper Scraps will buy them at the best Adelaide prices. We pay instant cash, offer completely free pickup, and collect the same day. No waiting, no hassle, fair prices.
These radiators are packed with value: the aluminium fins and casings command good prices, and the copper tubing inside is worth real money. Unlike general scrap dealers who pay by weight alone, we understand the mixed-metal composition and pay you fairly for both materials combined.
Aluminium copper radiators are heat exchange devices designed with aluminium fins for maximum surface area and copper or brass tubing for fluid (coolant, water, or refrigerant) circulation. This two-metal design makes them highly efficient at transferring heat — and highly valuable as scrap.
Typical radiator value ranges from $20-$200+ depending on size, material purity, and current market rates for both aluminium (/alum/) and copper (/coppers/). A single car radiator might be worth $30-$80, while large industrial radiators can exceed $300.
Failed radiator from a car, truck, or 4WD. Instead of disposal, sell it for cash.
Upgrading AC units and removing old coils and radiators. See our full air con unit service (/air-con-units/).
Factory equipment, machinery, or facility upgrades leave behind valuable radiators and heat exchangers.
Decommissioning old vehicles. Radiators are valuable components worth recovering.
We purchase all types of aluminium copper radiators and heat exchangers:
Bottom line: If it’s an aluminium-copper radiator from any source, we’ll evaluate it and pay fairly.
Clean with good fin integrity, minimal damage, high copper content. Highest per-kilo rates.
Some corrosion or minor damage, but structurally sound. Moderate pricing.
Heavy corrosion, bent fins, missing sections, or leaking. Still valuable, lower per-kilo rate.
We accept virtually all radiators. Only non-starters: plastic-only radiators or those we can’t identify as legitimate automotive/industrial parts.
We understand the two-metal composition and price accordingly. Not just one rate for mixed material — we assess both aluminium and copper content fairly.
