Objective
Scrap has become a major raw material of the steel industry. The results of the ECSC "scrap-project" have shown that the shredder is a critical tool for improving scrap quality. The influence of the outside parameters of this process is now better known, but the influence of the inside parameters is still unclear. The objective of this research is therefore to understand the fragmentising of goods that contain steel and to model the shredding of scrap. This investigation will also study how to improve the degree of liberation of metal-metal and non-metal-metal composites; how to increase the specific throughput of shredders; how to decrease specific power consumption equipment wear; how to minimise copper content in shredded scrap and it will propose solutions for the low-cost treatment of fluff. The results of this research would be beneficial both to the workers and the environment. The introduction of a shredding unit could mean the creation of new workplaces. The development of a separation process of non-ferrous materials from the scrap will reduce the emissions of volatile organic components to the benefit of the workers.
