Until a few years ago, foundries shipped unmachined castings, and their jobs used to end there. However, As time gradually passed and customers started demanding finished castings foundries added in-house machine shops and turning centres.
Although it solved one problem with the customers, it led to another problem, which is How to effectively recycle the Turning Scrap?
Why Remelting Turning Scrap directly is inefficient?
Every machine generates turning scraps, which include chips, small curls or long curls depending on the mechanical properties of the Alloy Grade. They are light, messy and low in density, which makes it not difficult to melt. Further, they float in furnaces, burn inefficiently and therefore, leads to a higher melting loss.
Some Foundries in order to avoid these inconsistencies, sell it at a lower cost and virtually write it off too.
The Solution – Introducing Briquetting and Baler Machines!
Santec Bailing and Recycling says the demand from Foundries for their machines is rising faster than they can Expand.
Mr Pulkit, one of the Promoters at Santec, tells us that their most in-demand machine is this Briquetting machine that helps in Compressing Scraps into small ingots.
This briquetting machine compresses scraps into dense and solid briquettes, small ingot-like blocks that can be handled, stored and charged into Furnaces just like a regular metal. Once it is present in a compact form that scrap sinks properly in the furnace, oxidation drops and therefore, the metal recovery procedure improves!
In addition to this, it also helps the foundries because the scrap is tested chemically in this process, so it saves their testing cost and time. So, in short, it turns the liability into a usable raw material.
How Briquetting Machine Positively Helps the Environment?
When foundries recycle, turning scrap at source, it reduces transportation. There is less movement of materials, no requirement for extra melting cycles, and therefore, the energy consumption is reduced.
This indirectly helps in reducing the carbon footprint without making any dramatic change in the core process. Therefore, it’s not just a flashy sustainability talk, it is a practical solution that helps the environment by handling the waste in a better way.
