Anticipating this, Panizzolo Recycling Systems gained specific experience in the waste management sector. As we all know, after China implemented the "National Sword" policy, the global market is rapidly turning to overwhelming demand for high-quality metals, treating scrap as a product rather than waste. Companies that have moved in this direction are benefiting from increased sales.

In order not to be left behind, companies need to sharpen their weapons and aim at technological innovation. By updating and upgrading the processing stage, it will be possible to seize the opportunity of this change and manage the large amounts of scrap and metal that manufacturers are desperately trying to reintroduce the production cycle.

Since last year, the Covid-19 emergency has accelerated many changes in the scrap industry. While continuing to invest in recycling, scrap companies analyzed operating costs more thoroughly than in the past.

"Compared with four or five years ago, the industry is moving in a very clear direction: if the company does not want to lose its competitive advantage, it must make the most of scrap metal," said Matteo Turatto, sales director of Panizzolo Recycling Systems. 'The market needs to recycle more complex waste, which requires more efficient recycling plants. Therefore, in the analysis stage, the company is more sensitive to all aspects that can bring medium and long-term economic returns. Especially in this regard, Panizzolo has consolidated its market position, and the response from both Italian and foreign customers has been very good.

Deral uses aluminum scrap to produce high-quality billets for the domestic and international markets. To ensure high production quality, the materials loaded into the oven must be carefully separated from any impurities. To this end, the company has its own processing cycle, which has recently been enhanced with a Panizzolo Recycling Systems plant equipped with a Mega 1100 hammer mill.

Company President Mauro Cibaldi said: "In Deral, our current annual production of finished products is about 40-45 000 tons." "Due to the new Mega 1100 and the rapidly expanding Italian market, we expect production to increase in the next ten years."

At first, Deral worked with shears and performed the selection and cleaning phases manually. But the shredder transported large pieces of aluminum (50-60 cm), which slowed production. In addition, the quality of the product is not perfect, which has a significant impact during casting. For this reason, in recent years, Deral has opted for more complete and effective systems, such as the Panizzolo series, including new X-ray options.

“One of the first Panizzolo machines installed was the Flex 1000 mobile drum, and we have now switched to the stationary Mega 1100 hammer mill,” said Giulio Vincoli, the company’s CEO. 'Our initial demand was to increase the production capacity of the grinder. From the first account of the new production cycle, we have seen significant improvements. After setting up the grid for our waste, we calculated a production rate of about 16 tons per hour.

Vincoli added: “Our Panizzolo recycling plant is known for its simplicity and low operating costs. It is characterized by no need to help highly specialized personnel or keeping them on site. After simple daily maintenance, the Panizzolo grinder does not have any The problem is that the cost is undoubtedly lower than the dual-shaft hydraulic crusher on the market.

Com.Steel moved into a new factory covering an area of ​​66,000 square meters on January 11 this year, and completed the testing of the new Panizzolo Mega 1500 hammer mill at this stage. It is now fully operational.

"Fortunately, the immediate impact of the pandemic only delayed our transfer to the new headquarters by three months," said Andrea Pensotti, owner of Com.Steel. 'We hope to focus more on the diversification of metal processing and processing materials. This is why we immediately launched the new Panizzolo grinding and sorting plant in January.

He said that quality is becoming more and more important, and inefficient products contaminated or contaminated by other metals are materials that buyers are not interested in. "The more we work, the more we understand that steel mills need refined products," Pensotti pointed out.

This is why in 2021, the new Panizzolo plant is mainly focused on processing tin from MSW, and has been ideally tested in terms of ferrous iron recovery and separation of inert components.

"Nothing will end up in a landfill," Pensotti insisted. 'For example, glass powder is resold to produce new containers, while inert fragments are sent to factories where waste is converted into energy.

"Thanks to the experience gained while using the previous Panizzolo machine, together with our technical department, we have perfected the equipment in the new area, allowing us to carry out complete and uninterrupted processing."

Com.Steel operators have received guidance and training on each processing stage, and now, in order to complete the testing stage, the company is cooperating with Panizzolo technicians for programming. Optimization of the hammer mill software is the foundation, and all necessary changes must be made to set up the machine correctly.

Pensotti concluded; "The performance of the Panizzolo Flex 1300 hammer mill is guaranteed in terms of wear, maintenance and use. We expect the new Mega 1500 will do the same, especially because of the processing evidence in the first two months. We are satisfied with the cooperation with Panizzolo and its employees, because everything is done in accordance with the most modern requirements. We have known Panizzolo for decades, and their service technicians are dedicated and trustworthy.
