  • Apparatus for preheating and removing organic materials from scrap iron
    Patent number: 5221512
    Abstract: This method of preheating scrap iron mixed with plastic, rubber and resinous, i.e. organic, materials and intended for electric furnaces, in particular electric arc furnaces, is characterized by transforming the plastic, rubbery or resinous and like materials or organic nature present in the scrap iron, to advantageously eliminate them by a path able to produce thermal energy usable for preheating the scrap to be melted, said path consisting of pyrolysis in an environment fed both with the the scrap to be melted and with said organic materials, the whole being previously shredded.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 28, 1991
    Date of Patent: June 22, 1993
    Assignee: Blufin S.R.L.
