Process
Procurement from Local Vendors
Collection Points
Scrap is collected from various local sources such as households, businesses, construction sites, and industrial facilities
Sorting and Pre-Processing
Local vendors often handle initial sorting and processing to ensure the scrap meets quality standards before transportation.
Transportation
Scrap is transported from local vendors to your sorting and processing facilities.
Importing Good Quality Scrap from Various Countries
Sourcing
Identify and establish relationships with international suppliers who can provide high-quality scrap. This involves market research, attending trade shows, and leveraging industry networks.
Compliance and Regulations:
Ensure compliance with international trade regulations, including import/export laws, tariffs, and environmental regulations. Quality Assurance: Implement stringent quality checks at the source to ensure the imported scrap meets required standards.
Logistics and Shipping
Arrange for the transportation of scrap via sea, air, or land, depending on the most cost-effective and reliable method. This includes managing shipping documentation and coordinating with customs brokers.
Receiving and Inspection
Upon arrival, the imported scrap undergoes inspection to verify quality and quantity against the purchase agreements.
Creating steel strips from scrap metal involves several key steps in-house, from melting scrap to the
final rolling process. Here’s a detailed breakdown
Continuous Casting Machine (CCM)
Molten Metal Transfer
Transfer the refined molten metal from the furnace to the continuous casting machine (CCM) using a ladle.
Mold Casting
Pour the molten metal into the CCM mold. The mold is water-cooled, solidifying the outer shell of the molten steel while the core remains liquid.
Primary Solidification
The partially solidified metal, now called a billet, bloom, or slab (depending on the cross-sectional shape), exits the mold and is continuously cooled and solidified.
Cutting to Length
The continuous casting process produces long strands that are cut to the desired length for further processing.
Rolling Mill
Pre-Heating
If needed, pre-heat the billets, blooms, or slabs in a reheating furnace to the required temperature for rolling.
Rough Rolling
The pre-heated metal is passed through roughing mills to reduce its thickness and shape it into intermediate forms.
Intermediate Rolling
Further rolling stages refine the shape and dimensions, gradually reducing the metal to the desired thickness.
Finishing Rolling
The final rolling stages produce steel strips of uniform thickness and width, achieving the required mechanical properties and surface finish.
Cooling
Cooling
After the final rolling, the steel strips are naturally cooled to achieve the desired microstructure and mechanical properties.
Quality Control
Inspection
Conduct thorough inspections and testing to ensure the steel strips meet the required specifications. This includes checking for surface defects, dimensional accuracy, and mechanical properties.
Testing
Perform mechanical tests (tensile strength, elongation, hardness) and chemical analysis to confirm the material’s quality.
Packaging and Distribution
Shipping: Distribute the finished steel strips to customers or further processing facilities
