Scrap Charging

Save money with optimised charging

Scrap prices are going through the roof and there is only one way of checking this trend during scrap charging: the weighing systems used at the scrap yard must establish the precise, weight-controlled composition of nominal volumes of different scrap qualities for every single cast. And they must also be accurate enough to minimise the volume of high value alloy materials in secondary metallurgy.

From this point of view, precise scrap charging for converters and electric furnaces also makes economic sense. Money really can be saved here by optimising charging.

The gravimetric loading process also places stringent mechanical requirements on the weighing system. The high load impacts of differently sized scrap parts falling off vehicles and the high levels of mud, waste, water and scrap residue contamination require extremely robust scale solutions.
