Metal recycling, whether processing ferrous metals like steel and iron or non-ferrous metals like aluminum, copper, and zinc, is a cornerstone of sustainable resource management. However, the processes involved, including shredding, sorting, and melting, generate significant amounts of dust and fine particulate matter. This dust poses challenges such as equipment wear, air quality concerns, and safety hazards. ENGLO Dust Control Equipment has been successfully implemented in numerous ferrous and non-ferrous metal recycling facilities, providing reliable, effective dust management systems tailored to the unique needs of the industry. Dust Challenges in Metal Recycling - Shredding and Crushing: Produces fine, abrasive dust as metals are broken down into smaller pieces. - Sorting and Separation: Airborne particles are generated during magnetic separation, eddy current processes, and manual sorting. - Melting and Smelting: Dust is released during the thermal processing of metals. - Material Handling: Transfer points, conveyor belts, and storage bins generate and disperse dust particles.
