Scrap Composition Monitor

The Scrap Composition Monitor is a cutting-edge quality control and safety-supporting system designed for the steel industry. This technology addresses the critical need for ensuring that only compliant and safe materials enter the production process. Steel producers face challenges such as maintaining high production quality and efficiency while minimizing operational risks. The Scrap Composition Monitor addresses these issues by automatically identifying and separating unwanted or hazardous materials, comparing them with an electronic catalogue of prohibited items, and providing online oversight of scrap handling. This ensures increased production quality, yield, and safety while reducing the risk of using dangerous materials entering the steel production process.

The Scrap Composition Monitor automatically identifies unwanted or dangerous ingredients in the scrap mix. It compares the actual scrap loaded from arriving transports or into chutes or baskets with an electronic catalogue of prohibited items. This system supports personnel in avoiding the preparation of wrong or dangerous scrap mixtures. It supervises scrap charging online at the scrap yard during unloading and loading, preventing the delivery of scrap containing unwanted or hazardous ingredients. This proactive approach prevents harmful effects on assets and supports the prevention of hazardous materials entering the steel production process, thereby reducing operational downtime and preventing contamination of the production line. Ensuring compliance and safety enhances production quality, increasing yield and efficiency through the use of better input materials.
