Eriez® to Showcase Shred1™ Ballistic Metal Separator at 2nd European Green Steel Summit 2024

Eriez®, a global leader in separation technologies, is thrilled to announce its participation in the highly anticipated 2nd European Green Steel Summit 2024. Darrell Milton, Eriez Global Market Manager-Heavy Industry, will deliver a presentation highlighting the outstanding capabilities of Eriez' Shred1™ Ballistic Metal Separator and its pivotal role in producing premium low-copper shred for steel manufacturing. As a Gold Sponsor, Eriez will hold a prominent position at the Summit, scheduled for March 13 and 14, 2024, in Düsseldorf, Germany. “This event provides an excellent platform for our team to share insights with key stakeholders in the global steel market,” says Milton. “We are particularly excited to showcase the Shred1 and its potential to positively influence the European steel industry landscape." The innovative Eriez Shred1 Ballistic Separator utilises magnets and ballistics to effectively separate copper-bearing materials from shredded steel recovered by scrap drum magnets. This unique separator generates two distinct fractions: a premium low-copper ferrous product (with copper content in the range of 0.16-0.20%) and a traditional #2 shred. By integrating Shred1 technology, the proportion of low-copper shredded scrap in steel blends is significantly increased, leading to a reduction in the cost per ton of steel produced by mills. Moreover, this high-quality shred enables scrap yards to command a premium price, delivering economic benefits to all stakeholders involved.
