High grade purity despite impurities: Innovative complete plant with three operating modes safely filters recycled aluminium from difficult input material According to statistics from the German industrial credit bank AG (IKB), global production of primary aluminium increased by 3.1 per cent to 65.3 million tonnes in 2020. In addition, around 11.8 million tonnes of the light metal were recycled. Especially in the case aluminium scrap, grade purity plays a major role for subsequent processability. In order to be able to sell the purest material possible on to aluminium processing companies, and thus most profitably, an Austrian company needed new equipment for crushing and separating different input materials. The challenge: The aluminium dust and aluminium alloys with magnesium admixtures produced during the crushing process are highly flammable, so there is an acute risk of fire and explosion in the plant. To ensure the safety of the machines and the employees at all times, the company cooperated with Erdwich Zerkleinerungs-Systeme GmbH. The experienced company from Igling in Bavaria implements a special plant concept…
