New Eriez Shred1 Data Demonstrates Scalable Copper Control and 94 Percent Melt Yield

New performance data from Eriez® shows that scrap recyclers can achieve precise copper control without compromising throughput. Full-scale installations of the Shred1 Ballistic Separator consistently deliver copper levels below 0.15 percent while processing more than 127 tonnes (140 tons) per hour. Copper contamination has traditionally forced recyclers to choose between costly melt chemistry corrections and […]

How Briquetting Helps Turn Machining Chips into a Higher-Value Recycling Stream

In metalworking, chips are generated in large volumes every day during turning, milling and sawing. Yet their loose form creates multiple disadvantages: they take up space, complicate handling and transport, often retain cooling lubricants, and can lead to material losses in downstream recycling. For recyclers, foundries and machining companies alike, the question is no longer […]
