heavy Duty Steel Scrap machine

The global steel industry is currently facing dual pressures of resources and the environment. According to statistics, the amount of scrap steel generated in my country has exceeded 200 million tons per year, but there is still room for improvement in the comprehensive utilization rate. With the advancement of the “dual carbon” goal, scrap steel, as a recyclable green resource, has become increasingly important. Efficient heavy-duty scrap steel processing equipment has become a key equipment for improving recycling efficiency, driving the green transformation of the steel industry.

Modern heavy-duty scrap steel recycling equipment mainly includes core equipment such as scrap steel crushers, hydraulic shears, metal balers and intelligent sorting systems. Scrap steel crushers use hammering to break large pieces of scrap steel into uniform fragments; hydraulic shears can easily handle thick and heavy metal structures; balers compress light and thin waste into high-density blocks; and based on intelligent sorting systems, they can achieve precise separation of different metal components. These equipment together constitute a modern production line for scrap steel recycling.

The typical scrap steel recycling process includes four key links: first, the raw materials are classified and pre-processed, and the raw materials are sorted manually or mechanically; then the large-sized scrap steel is broken down by crushing or shearing; then the packaging equipment is used for compression processing; finally, impurities are removed by magnetic separation, eddy current and other separation technologies. The entire process is automated to ensure recycling efficiency and product quality.

The economic benefits and environmental value of scrap steel recycling are equally significant. From an economic point of view, using scrap steel to make steel can save 40%-60% of energy consumption compared to iron ore smelting, greatly reducing production costs. In terms of environmental protection, every ton of scrap steel recycled can reduce 1.5 tons of carbon dioxide emissions, while saving 1.4 tons of iron ore and 0.74 tons of standard coal. With the improvement of the carbon trading market, the environmental benefits of scrap steel recycling are being transformed into tangible economic returns.
