This is another result of the Vezzani
experience and innovative approach. With this device the
productivity of the melt shop is increased without need
of installing a
greater furnace capacity and at the same time reducing
the energy consumption per ton of steel produced. It consists of a
large vertical pressure block that compresses the scrap
within the basket.
The
resulting density for a normal type of scrap ranges
between 1.2 to 1,4 kg/dm3 versus 0.6 to 0.8
kg/dm3 when not utilizing the Basket Press.
