The U.S. Shredder and Castings Group, Trussville, Ala., has announced that it will be supplying what it calls “its most extensive shredder downstream to date” in Mexicali, Mexico.
The system is currently being installed at a Deacero facility. The Monterrey-based company processes scrap and produce steel. The U.S. Shredder downstream system being installed is “designed and built to efficiently and effectively process the ferrous and nonferrous metals after a 120-inch shredder,” according to a news release from U.S. Shredder.
The news release also states that the system will incorporate “a state-of-the-art magnetic separation system” designed to “remove up to 99 percent of all nonferrous metals from the fluff stream, not including some insulated cable.”
Because of Mexicali’s hot, arid climate, the system also was designed with what U.S. Shredder calls “special conveyors with covers and transition areas designed to minimize the dust created as the material is processed.”
The system’s metals recovery equipment includes magnetic drums, trommels and screens, eddy currents, “DSRP” units recover to recovery small ferrous pieces, and air sensor technology to recover additional metal such as stainless steel that might not be recovered from the eddy currents, such as stainless steel.
