Maximizing Scrap Purity & Enhancing Steel Production Efficiency
The SGM HMS Model is an advanced Scrap Cleaning Line (SCL) specifically designed to eliminate contaminants from Heavy Melting Scrap (HMS), significantly improving steel production efficiency, cost savings, and material quality.
By incorporating a high-performance electro-drum magnet, vibrating feeder, and dust-removal screening, the system reduces contaminants from 6-12% to less than 1%, leading to higher furnace yield, lower energy consumption, and reduced slag production.
The SGM Solution
HMS scrap typically contains 6-12% contaminants, negatively affecting:
- Furnace Yield & Energy Costs – Higher contamination increases power consumption per ton of steel produced.
- Slag Generation – Excess impurities increase slag production, reducing overall steel purity and efficiency.
- Lime Consumption – Contaminants lead to higher lime requirements, adding to operational costs.
The SGM Scrap Cleaning Line (SCL) for HMS lowers contaminants to less than 1%, resulting in:
- Higher productivity and improved steel quality
- Reduced power consumption due to cleaner scrap feed
- Decreased slag production, increasing overall steel yield
- Lower consumable costs, such as lime and other additives
- Minimized environmental impact, reducing emissions
How the SGM HMS Cleaning System Works
- Charging Hopper – Ensures a consistent and controlled feed rate into the system.
- Vibrating Feeder + De-Dusting Screen – Pre-screens fine contaminants, optimizing material flow.
- TME Electro-Drum Magnet – Proprietary radial polarity design maximizes contaminant removal and metal liberation.
- Ferrous Belt Magnet – Ensures clean HMS is efficiently separated from removed contaminants.
The system is designed for continuous, heavy-duty operation, making it a critical tool for steel mills and scrap processors.
Key Features & Benefits
- Exclusive Electro-Drum Magnet (TME Design) – Ensures higher magnetic force, wear resistance, and efficient material turnover.
- Scalable Processing Capacities – Available in three sizes: 50, 100, and 150 tons per hour.
- Modular or Turnkey Solution – Available as a complete cleaning line or in modular components.
- Enhanced Scrap Value – Reduces impurities, making HMS more desirable and profitable for steel mills.
- Resale of Extracted Non-Ferrous Metals – The removed contaminants contain valuable materials like aluminum, copper, zinc, and lead, which can be sold to recyclers.
