Danieli to supply shredder to Australian company

Danieli Centro Recycling, Buttrio, Italy, has signed an agreement with Barca Metals of Chipping Norton, Australia, to supply a metals shredding and downstream separation system to Barca's Razorback facility.

Barca will be supplied with a new, 4,000-horsepower, heavy-duty shredder and a complete separation line, according to Danieli.

The shredder to be installed in Razorback will be a DCR 2227 model with a motor driven by a Danieli-patented variable speed drive system inverter.

This solution lowers electrical consumption by up to 20 percent while delivering a sustained output of 100 tons per hour of high-quality ferrous material.

Danieli also intends to install a ZDS 250-800 model pre-shredder for safe de-bulking of incoming material, intended to reduce explosive risks, stabilize material feed and support consistent throughput to the main shredder.

Downstream, the separation line to be installed will include magnetic stages, cascade air separation and dedicated nonferrous recovery equipment designed to ensure clean outputs. The optimized layout and process configuration will maximize scrap value, operational safety and overall plant profitability, says the vendor.

Barca Metals, on its website, describes itself as founded by two brothers in 1995 and currently operating with six trucks, some 400 containers and state of the art machinery.
