The shredded scrap is of great importance for the EAF as the amount of recovery and the associated costs that they incur depend greatly on the quality of the shredded scrap. Shredding is a capital intensive process & one should aim to achieve the highest recovery rate possible that ensures maximum revenue gain. Thus, after considering all such parameters, Jain Hydraulics manufactures shredders that produce the best results at the minimum possible costs. The Shredded steel scrap has many advantages over other types of scrap particularly when used in an electric furnace. They are:
- There is a high yield of hot metal as a ratio of input shredded scrap
- The chemistry of the hot metal is more uniform heat after heat
- The good density means there are less back charges in order to reach furnace capacity
- There is less electrode breakage
- There is longer furnace lining life
- There is less sulfur in the hot metal
- There is less phosphorus in the hot metal
- There is less electric consumption per ton of hot metal
- There is less air pollution
- There are less hot spots in the furnace
- When shredded scrap is mixed with other feed stock the shredded scrap fills the voids providing a more dense mix
- Shredded scrap lends itself to better material handling techniques
