Automatically produces a premium low-copper shred using ballistics technology
Shred1 from Eriez uses ballistics to efficiently separate iron-rich ferrous from much of the mixed metals post-drum magnet flow. This separator delivers two distinct fractions: a premium low-copper ferrous product (in the range of 0.16-0.20% cu) and a traditional #2 shred.
The Shred1 ballistic separator combined with a PokerSort to extract long, troublesome pokers, and a P-Rex™ permanent rare earth magnetic drum improves the entire process. Not only does this new CleanStream™ process recover more ferrous and concentrate 75% of the post-drum magnet flow into a low-copper premium shred, but it also reduces the hand picking and helps increase recovery of copper bearing materials.
White Paper: Producing Low Copper Shred for Steel Mills - A method for upgrading shredded scrap has been developed and optimized using the Eriez® Shred1® Ballistic Separator coupled with magnetic separation equipment. The resulting upgraded shredded scrap will lower the amount of copper-bearing material (typically less than 0.20%) and increase the grade of the scrap. This is accomplished by removing the misplaced nonferrous materials typically found in shredded scrap, thereby increasing yields in the steelmaking process.
