SGM SCRAP CLEANING LINE FOR HMS - SCL MODEL

European Patent: EP2908955 A1
US Patent: US9,475,063 B2

Typically HMS contains between 6-12% of contaminants which negatively impacts on:

• Furnace yield and electricity cost per ton of ferrous produced
• Production of slag
• Consumption of Lime

The SGM Scrap Cleaning Line for HMS allows to reduce the contaminants in HMS to less than 1%.

The saving on electricity and higher furnace yield can alone result in a pay-back of less than 18 months based on a minimum of 300.000 tons of HMS processed per year.
The 6 to 12% non-ferrous removed from the HMS can be sold to metal recyclers for their typical valuable non-ferrous metal content.
