Hend Steel is planning to utilize a high-capacity scrap processing plant. The plant comprises a pre-shredder, a shredder, and followed with a heavy metal scrap (HMS) cleaning plant which is a cascade screening and dual magnetic separation type of process.

The output from the 96/98x104,5000HP shredder machine is about 150 tons per hour with a mixture of 50% bales and 50% HMS1/2 loose scrap fed through it.  The minimum shredded cleaned ferrous bulk density is 1.0 ton/m3.

The Pre-shredder output will reach a minimum bulk density of 0.40 ton/m3. This will serve as the input of the Shredder that will output a minimum of 1.0 ton/m3. Hend Steel melting shop’s Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) has 65 tons tapping capacity. The furnace requires 2500 tons of well-prepared clean scrap mix with a minimum average bulk density of 0.65 tons/m3.

All the scraps destined for EAF will be going through the Scrap Processing Plant first.

The utilization of a scrap processing plant will result in an economically efficient scrap in the melting shop through reduction of slag, increase in liquid yield, and reduction of emissions, electricity consumption, and consumables. The problem-free steel billet output will surely lead to high-quality rebars at the rolling mill.
