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.

Staircase made in como for a 6-floor health centre

A big customer in Marcheno, specialising in complete custom services, commissioned an indoor 6-floor staircase for the Como branch of Synlab, the well-known group that provides services for outpatients. Naturally the staircase had to be made according to Standard UNI EN 1090-2, since it is a supporting structure requiring minimum Execution Class 3.

CIF Carpenteria is in possession of all the necessary certificates and skills, so it had no problems in taking action and beginning the design process immediately. Customised work, tailored to customer needs, involving installation of the staircase in a particularly restricted existing indoor space.

Each of the 6 floors of the staircase was therefore designed to best integrate with the surrounding environment, to reach high functional performance while making optimal use of the available space.

The installation work was definitely not easy, given the few square metres of leeway, but our trained staff was able to give life to a project that could be installed and handled without using forklifts or bridge cranes to transport the beams, resulting in feasible and efficient implementation.

After nearly a month after installation, with great satisfaction, we completed the challenge once again, finishing the job with corten-effect paintwork, which gives the assembly a vintage effect of great aesthetic value.

A project that gives us great satisfaction and that also made the end customer extremely happy.

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.

Plant for the automatic formation of billet bundles

In July 2013, a large foundry in Roncadelle, in the province of Brescia, asked us to design a plant that could automatically form bundles of billets (exiting the drawing line) and strap them, while maintaining the classic hexagonal structure.

Although we had never designed a similar plant, our technical department immediately got down to work to find an optimal solution and, within a few weeks, the request was processed at design level and was presented to the customer, gaining interest and immediate enthusiasm.

So, after the planning and definition briefing, fabrication of the fully automated bundle formation plant got underway. An ambitious and sophisticated design, fully integrated with an extensive use of electronics, capable of handling the various bundle formation methods according to various parameters, such as billet diameter and length.

When the production process was complete, it was time to install everything at the customer’s premises and thanks to our teams of specialised workers and electricians, work was completed quickly and in a functional manner.

In recent years, the customer, satisfied with the design, manufacturing and consultancy solutions offered by CIF srl established an ongoing collaborative relationship, commissioning 4 additional facilities for other drawing lines in the facility. Work that has allowed us to further refine our skills and experience in this specific area and develop with additional minor process improvements.
