According to Primetals Technologies, the machine  significantly reduces noise and dust emissions and can process various types of scrap, including billets and bundles of rolled bar, as well as tundish skull. 

"Manual scrap cutting activities have traditionally resulted in heavy noise pollution and significant dust emissions. These issues are effectively mitigated by Primetals Technologies’ scrap cutting solution," the company said in a statement.  

"Torch noise is drastically reduced outside the cabin, and an effective dedusting system captures all dust emissions generated during the cutting process. This system prevents air pollution and allows the cabin to be housed within a hall, further reducing noise emissions."

The company also said safety is improved as the machine is operated remotely. 

"Personnel control the machine remotely from a desk outside the cutting cabin, supported by a video surveillance system. Predefined cutting programs based on recipes simplify machine operation and reduce operating times."
