Scrap Steel Crushing & Sorting Line
Reduce heavy steel scrap to a dense, uniform furnace charge while separating non-ferrous contamination out of the stream.
Heavy steel scrap is bulky, hard to transport economically and often carries copper, aluminium and plastic contamination that mills penalise at the weighbridge.
A denser, cleaner ferrous product with non-ferrous and non-magnetic material split out — better mill acceptance and less material lost to the residue pile.
How the line runs
- 01
Shearing
A hydraulic gantry shear crops oversized plate, H-beam and rail to a length the shredder can accept, avoiding downtime on unshreddable pieces.
- 02
Shredding
Low-speed, high-torque shredding reduces the sheared material to a controlled output size with anti-jam protection.
- 03
Magnetic separation
Magnetic drums and overband separators split ferrous from non-magnetic material immediately after shredding.
- 04
Non-ferrous recovery
Eddy current separation recovers aluminium, copper and zinc from the non-magnetic fraction instead of sending it to residue.
- 05
Screening and baling
Final screening sets the cut point and the ferrous product is baled or loaded out for the mill.
Machines specified for this process
Hydraulic Gantry Shear
800-ton shearing force and a 1,600 mm blade for thick plate, H-beams and rail — clean shear faces with a 12–18 second cycle.
Industrial Metal Shredder
Single-, dual- and four-shaft shredders that reduce bulky metal scrap to a consistent 50–300 mm output, with anti-jam reversal and hardened blade sets.
GTS Series Trommel Screen
Rotary drum screener that splits shredded scrap into size fractions before sorting, reducing downstream wear and improving separation accuracy.
Eddy Current Separator
High-frequency rotor that ejects aluminium, copper and zinc from mixed streams, separating particles down to 3 mm at >99% aluminium recovery.
