Danieli to supply shredder to Australian company

Danieli Centro Recycling, Buttrio, Italy, has signed an agreement with Chipping Norton, Australia-based Barca Metals to supply a metals shredding and downstream separation system to Barca’s facility in Razorback, Australia.

Barca will be supplied with a new, 4,000-horsepower, heavy-duty shredder and what it calls a “complete separation line,” according to Danieli.

The shredder to be installed in Razorback will be a DCR 2227 model with a motor driven by a Danieli-patented variable speed drive system-inverter, says the supplier.

“This solution cuts electrical consumption up to 20 percent while ensuring a sustained output of 100 tons per hour of high-quality ferrous material,” states Danieli.

Danieli also intends to install a ZDS 250-800 model pre-shredder for what the company calls safe de-bulking of incoming material, intended to reduce explosive risks, stabilize material feed and support consistent throughput to the main shredder.

Downstream, the separation line to be installed will include magnetic stages, cascade air separation and what Danieli calls dedicated nonferrous recovery equipment designed to ensure clean outputs. “The optimized layout and process configuration will maximize scrap value, operational safety and overall plant profitability,” says the vendor.

Barca Metals, on its website, describes itself as having been founded by two brothers in 1995 and currently operating with six trucks, some 400 containers and “state of the art machinery.”
