Horsehead Holding Corp. announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Horsehead Corp., has started up a second Waelz kiln in Rockwood, Tenn. The kiln recycles EAF dust.
Horsehead broke ground on the facility in December 2006. The kiln will double the current EAF dust processing capacity at that location.
"We are excited about this expansion, which will allow us to grow our EAF dust recycling business by 15 percent by increasing our service to the growing mini-mill steel industry," said Jim Hensler, Horsehead's president & CEO. The new zinc units from this new kiln will feed Horsehead's smelting operation in its Monaca, Pa., facility, which in turn will produce more zinc products.
