Life Cycle Costing Stainless Steel Recycling

Stainless steel products are designed for a long life - typically several decades. Indeed, this is often the reason for selecting stainless steel in the first place.

However, there will come a time when the product has reached the end of its useful life: by fashion change (the product still functions well but the design is out-dated e.g. shops, restaurants and other buildings); by technological redundancy (e.g. the product is replaced by a more efficient technology); by product failure (e.g. some part of the equipment fails because of eventual corrosion).

In many of these cases, the stainless steel has suffered little degradation and still contains the high value of the initial alloying elements such as chromium, nickel and molybdenum. This makes it a valuable source of those constituents to the stainless steel producer and a high proportion of material going into the melting furnace is usually recycled. Therefore there are well established systems to collect and recycle stainless steel. This includes trimmings and other scrap which arise during manufacturing of stainless steel products.


This ready recyclability is one of the contributions which stainless steel makes to sustainable development.

After you collect many used stainless steel into your place, you will find it takes too much space which will bothered you a lot.


Don’t worry, since you read this article, and you will know how to solve such confused problem rapidly.

Using baling press machine, which can press your loose scraps into high density bales, saving much space during your storage and delivery, also makes your scraps looks shipshape.



UK Enerpat, a professional manufacturer of the baler machine, have vertical and horizontal models for choice, always one model you deserve to have.

Vertical Baler

  • Cheaper cost
  • With manual threading wires only, other process are auto
  • Bigger bale size.
  • Ideal for kinds of light metals, such as aluminum, stainless steel etc.
Horizontal Baler

  • Have manual and automatic operation for option.
  • With higher cost but higher out-coming.
  • Ideal for kinds of metal scraps, includes ferrous and non ferrous metals.

How many types of aluminum scrap, and how do we recycle more aluminum?

7 Common Types of Aluminum Scrap When scrapping you may come across a wide variety of scrap aluminum. While there are several materials that are classified as “aluminum” there are many different types that are priced and sorted differently at scrap yards. Below we have some of the common types of aluminum scrap you will come across when scrapping. Sheet Aluminum– This category includes material like lawn chairs without the webbing, some lighter gauge pots and pans, window frames with small amounts of plastic or steel attached, and jacketing from MC cable. Cast Aluminum– A type of aluminum that looks to have been poured into a mold. Something like a BBQ grill, molds from certain applications, or larger light pole bases. Dirty Aluminum– This would be anything that has steel, rubber, or plastic attached. If there are steel bolts going through something we would classify this as dirty as well. When scrap yards see any type of non-aluminum material mixed in with the “clean” a

Basic Knowledge of Getting Profit from Wood Shavings (Sawdust)

Image
Maybe some people don't know how to get profit from sawdust, they maybe ask what it is used for, being confused with this area. Accordingly I post this article, hope it will help to let you have a basic knowledge about the sawdust. Sawdust has wide usage, as following. Make fake snow. Mix sawdust with white paint and glue to cover holiday crafts with simulated snow. Get a grip. Winter loggers spread sawdust on their truck paths. It provides traction and strengthens compacted snow while protecting the ground underneath. Soak up spills. Keep a bucket handy for accidents. Sawdust is highly absorbent and can quickly contain spills of oil or paint. Feed your plants. Sawdust mixed with manure or a nitrogen supplement keeps your plants healthy and moist, too. Make a fire starter. Melt candle wax in a nonstick pot, add sawdust until the liquid thickens, pour into an empty egg carton, and let cool. Use the briquettes to help get a fire going. Fill wood holes and defects.

Difference between single shaft shredder and double shaft shredder

Image
What is the difference between single shaft shredder and double shaft shredder? Both  single shaft shredder and double shaft shredder are commonly used in waste recycling field, but they are different in a few aspects. 1.  Machine structure is different: Single Shaft Shredder is equipped with only one shaft with rotary blades, a hydraulic-driven pusher plate/arm, and a screen underneath the rotating shaft. Double Shaft Shredder is built with two shafts of blades, which we also call dual shearing shafts. There is no hydraulic-driven pusher or screen on this machine. 2.  The application of material is different: Single Shaft Shredder is mainly applied to shred thick and solid materials such as molding purgings/runners/sprues, plastic pallets, rubber rolls, wood lumbers, tree branches, bones, wood pallets, etc. Double Shaft Shredder normally is used to shred small to large sized relatively light or hollow products, such car/truck tires, film, plastic
