According to Danieli, each of the five plants will include shredder machines, ferrous scrap cleaning and non-ferrous separation lines. Four of the shredders will be 2,000 hp units capable of outputting 50 ferrous tons per hour. The fifth will be a 4,000 hp unit that can produce 100 tons per hour.

“Ferrous downstream lines will include magnetic separation ensuring a high level of scrap cleanliness, while flexible in-line/off-line non-ferrous separation will recover zorba, a high-purity non-ferrous metals mix,” it said. 

“All shredders will be powered by Danieli-patented inverter drives, which guarantee lower operational costs due to energy consumption savings up to 15%,” the company added. 

The output will primarily feed Deacero meltshops in Mexico.
