Scrap is now considered an essential and significant raw material in steel metallurgy, due to the environmental (raw material recovery), economic (lower production costs), and quality advantages it provides.
The use of scrap, however, is subject to strict supply conditions, requirements, and regulations imposed by legislators and steel mills to ensure the production of high-quality materials. This includes compliance with legal standards regarding atmospheric emissions during the melting phase, reduced presence of slag, and lower production costs through the use of “clean” materials that are ready for the furnace.
The cost of scrap and the possibility of reusing it for steel production depend on the companies responsible for its collection, processing, treatment, sorting, and delivery.
Each of these operations requires the use of appropriate technologies, which collection and sorting centers must be equipped with. These technologies help minimize handling costs and maximize the material’s properties so that it is accepted by steel mills, while also enabling the recovery of non-ferrous metals contained in the scrap, ideally separated by type.
The collected scrap that can be used in functional processes can be categorized into two groups:
The Need
The use of machines (shears and presses) or shredding systems (mills) capable of reducing, crushing, and sorting raw scrap—installed at collection and storage centers—has become essential. These systems help reduce the costs associated with scrap collection, delivery, storage, and handling, while ensuring compliance with the strict supply conditions required by steelworks.
Centers equipped with hammer mills, magnetic systems, screens, and suction plants can shred contaminated scrap and reduce it to sizes that allow successive separation into:
MINIMILL TAURUS – The Hammer Mill for Metal Scrap Shredding
The REDMILL module has been designed to enhance collected scrap, light white scrap, and discarded car parts and car bodies that have been properly treated, pre-shredded, or sheared, through grinding and sorting.
The input material consists of raw mixed iron scrap contaminated with heterogeneous materials, while the output product is clean iron, uniform in weight and size, separated from the various constituent materials.
REDMILL does not compete with large-scale crushing and production plants, which require vast spaces, significant investments, and high installed power. Instead, it targets clients who wish to equip themselves with a crushing module to complement traditional pressing and shearing techniques.
