Metso Minerals will supply a metal shredder line to Makiura Steel Work Co. Ltd. for its metal recycling plant in Himeji city, Japan. The delivery will be completed by next August. The value of the order is expected to be greater than EUR 7 million (US$8.6 million).
Metso's delivery comprises a metal shredder, a complete downstream equipment for ferrous and non-ferrous separation and de-dusting, as well as an additional double-screw extrusion system for processing the shredder light fraction. The shredder line will complement Makiura's current 1,250 tons cutting force scrap shear and first double-screw extrusion press, delivered by Metso in 1990 and 2003. The new solution complies with Japan's recent automobile recycling regulation, which requires safe and sure treatment of shredder light fraction in the recycling process.
Makiura Steel Work Co. Ltd., one of Japan's leading metal recycling companies. The company had sales of around $51 million last year. The shredder line will make Makiura Japan's
