Scrap Separation Plants

Scrap separation facilities form the cornerstone of metal recycling processes. In these facilities, the recycling of steel, aluminum, and other metals provides economic and environmental benefits aligned with sustainability goals. Steel recycling involves the collection, separation, sizing, and melting of ferrous scrap. Scrap sources are classified as steel mills, rolling mills, production processes, and post-consumer end-of-life scrap.

 

In scrap processing facilities, separation processes are applied according to the type of metals. Magnetic separation, eddy current separation, and heavy media methods are particularly used for separating metals like stainless steel and aluminum. While manual sorting provides a high level of purity, it is generally preferred in the final stage for quality control. Size reduction processes are applied to make scrap suitable for processing, increase bulk density, and release components.
