Casting-Rolling Complex (CRC), a branch of JSC OMK-Stal, a part of United Metallurgical Company, CJSC OMK, has launched a new production unit specifically for the manufacture of scrap mental. With the unit’s new equipment, CRC has produced its first batch of 2Ash scrap metal, coming in at 4,500t.
The production unit from Metso Lindemann, Germany, is used for high-tech processing of scrap metal through fragmentation and refinery of non-ferrous impurities. The new unit has the capacity to produce 1Mt of fragmented scrap a year. So far, RUB 1.8B (EUR 42M) have been invested in the program.
The new equipment is expected to help CRC to optimise its expenses for scrap purchase and improve the quality of raw material. Deep recycling and use of special technologies for scrap grading, cleaning, and removal of non-ferrous impurities will enable the company to manufacture higher quality products.
