Automation

Introducing “crafted scrap”—how steel producers can increase scrap use, decrease CO2 emissions, and increase energy efficiency while consistently producing high-quality steel. Crafted scrap is the result of a meltshop-controlled scrap preparation system combining hardware and software solutions consisting of E&A and mechanical elements, allowing for the ideal scrap mix and setting the new standard for scrap sorting, cleaning, and preparation for steel producers. In this presentation from the 2022 Sustainable Steel Strategies Summit with Steel Times InternationalSICON, and Primetals Technologies present their work to create a fully automated, digital scrap yard.
