Specific Operation Process

1. Feeding and Pre-Sorting
Scrap materials, including scrapped car bodies, tinplate, and old home appliances, are fed into the shredder via a conveyor system or grab bucket. Large or hazardous materials are manually or mechanically pre-sorted to ensure safe processing and avoid damage to the equipment.

2. Primary Shredding
The scrap is directed into the primary shredding chamber, where high-speed rotating hammers crush and tear the materials. The impact force breaks down the bulk scrap into smaller fragments while simultaneously removing coatings and surface contaminants.

3. Magnetic Separation
After shredding, the processed scrap passes through a powerful magnetic separator. This step efficiently removes ferrous materials from non-ferrous components, ensuring that the steel scrap meets purity requirements for steelmaking.

4. Density and Size Optimization
The shredded material undergoes further processing to increase its density and uniformity. Additional rolling or pressing mechanisms may be used to achieve the required volume-specific gravity, making the scrap more suitable for furnace charging.

5. Dust and Residue Collection
An advanced dust collection system captures fine particles and impurities generated during shredding, maintaining environmental compliance and preventing workplace hazards. Light materials such as plastics, foams, and fabric residues are separated and removed.

6. Non-Ferrous Metal Sorting
Through eddy current separators and air classifiers, non-ferrous metals like aluminum and copper are separated from the shredded scrap stream, ensuring maximum material recovery and reducing waste.

7. Output and Storage
The final processed scrap is discharged onto a conveyor system for collection and storage. The high-quality scrap steel, now free from contaminants and uniform in density, is ready for direct use in electric furnaces or further refining processes.

8. Quality Control and Inspection
Before shipment or furnace charging, the shredded scrap undergoes quality control checks. Parameters such as density, purity, and contamination levels are monitored to meet steel plant specifications for “fine material into the furnace.”
