Distribuidora de Metales y Cartones (Dimeca), a Santa Catarina, Mexico-based scrap processing company, has contracted with Danieli Centro Recycling for a new scrap shredding plant. The commissioning of the new plant is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2023.
According to Danieli, the new size-reduction system will be installed in northern Mexico and consist of a Danieli Centro Recycling preshredder, a shredder and ferrous and nonferrous downstream sorting line. The plant is being designed to process about 140,000 tons per year of scrap, with the ferrous shred heading to regional electric arc furnace (EAF) minimills.
The Danieli preshredder is a ZDS 250-800 model, which the technology provider says is its best-selling model in the North American market. It is designed to feed preprocessed material automatically to a downstream shredder.
The 2,000-horsepower (hp) hammermill shredder will have a production capacity of up to 70 tons per hour and will be equipped with a Danieli Automation variable-frequency inverter drive designed to increase motor efficiency and optimize energy consumption.
Danieli describes an offline sorting plant for nonferrous material separation as offering “the highest flexibility and efficiency to the process and fitting Dimeca high-quality standards and vision.”
Danieli says this is the second Danieli Centro Recycling shredder plant sold in North America in recent months, following a contract with an undisclosed buyer in South Carolina for a 4,000-hp unit.
*This was edited Oct. 20 to correct the shredder size from 6,000 horsepower to 2,000 horsepower.
