Ferrous Metal Processing

Processing ferrous scrap metal means collecting, sorting, and recycling ferrous metals like steel and iron. By processing and recycling these metals, scrap materials that would have been thrown away are given a new use and are ready to be used again.

Ferrous scrap metal processing typically involves the following steps:

Collection: Ferrous scrap metal is collected from a variety of sources, including manufacturing facilities, construction sites, and demolition projects.
Sorting: Once the scrap has been collected, it is sorted by type and grade. This helps to ensure that it is properly processed and recycled.
Shredding: Large pieces of scrap are typically shredded into smaller pieces using a shredder or shear. This makes it easier to transport and handle, as well as to separate it from other materials.

Separation: The scrap is then separated from other materials using a variety of techniques, such as air classification and eddy current separation.
Melting and refining: The separated scrap is then melted down in a furnace and refined to remove impurities. The resulting metal is poured into molds to create new products.
Reuse: The processed and refined ferrous metal is then used to create new products, such as steel beams, pipes, and sheets.
