Secondary aluminum production is a shining example of the circular economy. Virtually fully recyclable, aluminum is used in the form of scrap to produce casting alloys for foundries. The closed-loop cycle prevents manufacturing waste from going to landfills, saves energy, and reduces the environmental footprint. It is vitally important that the recovered aluminum scrap is properly treated, before being further processed, to maximize the efficiency and profitability of the remelting process. As such, after collection, scrap is sheared into smaller pieces. Shredding aluminum reduces and reshapes the metal scrap into desired sizes, making it easier to sort and remove impurities. Magaldi tailored its Superbelt® conveyor technology to feed aluminum scrap to and from the shredder, delivering top performance with minimum maintenance. The Superbelt® conveyor features partially overlapping steel pans securely bolted on a patented steel double-wire mesh system. The belt damage-tolerant design is based on a multi-link concept: the mesh provides redundancy, little to no maintenance, and trouble-free continuous operation. Even in case the mesh gets severely damaged, the conveyor will keep running without sudden failures till the scheduled maintenance. The trouble-free operation ensures productivity and profitability and results in greater efficiency and uptime during a 24/7, year-round process.
