Waste metal shredding plant

In 2012, the company that manages waste disposal for the municipality of Rome, located in Pomezia, asked us to design a plant for shredding waste metal collected by the municipality.

The request came with the need to sort waste according to the type and size: ferrous and non-ferrous, small, medium or large.

A complex task since there are many waste processing stages. Therefore, the task required great technical knowledge and experience. CIF srl design engineers were not intimidated and promptly managed to design a waste sorting plant, whose core is indeed a grinding mill, where waste (already sorted in the previous stage by a rotary screen), is conveyed thanks to a conveyor belt system. The rotary screen, through the rotary motion of its axis and its inclination, ensures an additional degree of separation and classification of waste, according to the size.

The industrial magnet we placed above the mill had the obvious purpose of sorting the incoming material, separating ferrous and non-ferrous components.
The materials, once separated and sorted by material and size, could transit in an orderly fashion to their destination.

A true example of efficiency and customisation, which further proves the flexibility of CIF Carpenteria in addressing and solving specific customer requests.
The plant was installed successfully in Pomezia, generating, over the years, full customer satisfaction, to the extent of giving us the opportunity to further expand our range of collaborations, increasing the number of grinding plant functions through new applications.

Design and installation of a vibrating conveyor

In 2014, a large company in Bergamo asked us to create a vibrating conveyor, which would feed the pieces deposited on this conveyor channel towards an additional collection channel for further processing.

The customer needed to place the pieces on the vibrating conveyor using a “spider type” excavator and make them transit in the shortest possible time. However, for logistic and location-related issues, a common conveyor belt could not be used.

Bearing in mind the special construction needs expressed by the customer and the intended use of the plant (in constant contact with ferrous materials), our technical department designed a sturdy vibrating conveyor, built with special anti-wear steels, so that the constant contact with “aggressive” materials such as those being handled, would not make the machine wear out too easily.

While the second step of the design involved finding the optimal solution for transmitting the vibrations to the conveyor channel: in this regard, we consulted and collaborated with some industry specialists, in order to identify the best type of vibrating masses to be used, as well as the vibration dampers necessary to stabilise and support the bearing structure.

After running the required acceptance tests and identifying the necessary adjustments to be finalised, we the installed the unit at the customer’s premises, with full satisfaction, being commended for our clear problem-solving skills, and ensuring future collaborations for other plants.
