In steelmaking, there has been a significant increase in the use of recycled scrap, both in the EAF route and in integrated plants, as it reduces the need for additional resource extraction, saves energy consumption, and mitigates the environmental impact. However, with steel scrap recycling, the ability to maintain the quality and performance of advanced steel grades has become a major concern. Before entering the steelmaking process, scrap needs preparation to remove contaminants, recover valuable materials (non-ferrous metals), and reduce the size of large parts into pieces small enough to enable transport and subsequent feeding into the steelmaking furnace. Mechanical processes generally employed to prepare the steel scrap include baling, briquetting, shearing, and shredding. Moving a tough-to-handle material like steel scrap from one process to another requires heavy-duty conveyors capable of handling heavy, awkward loads, and enduring challenging environments. The Superbelt® HD (heavy-duty) conveyors help automate the transport of materials before, during, and after the separation and preparation process, doing this job effectively and reliably. They reduce manual labor requirements, optimize recovery and increase overall efficiency in scrap processing by reducing maintenance, equipment jams, and downtime.
