Steel slag contains valuable iron!

Conventional crushers are not designed for this.
Extracting this valuable resource from the slag and feeding it back into steel production increases economic efficiency and reduces the carbon footprint of your production.

Advantages of Neuson Hydrotec crushing plants

Hydraulic overload protection

With its hydraulic overload protection, the Neuson Hydrotec jaw crusher can withstand these enormous forces. This is what makes economical recycling of these problematic materials possible in the first place: blast furnace, steel mill, electric furnace and stainless steel slag, processing of old landfill sites, crushing of ferrochrome and other difficult materials.

Without interruption

When recycling slag, the biggest problem is seen in uncrushable materials (iron, steel, etc.). With conventional crushers, blockages in the crushing chamber often cause serious damage, leading to high repair costs and downtimes of several days. With our crushers, uncrushable material up to 350 mm passes through the crushing chamber without interrupting the work process.

Patented system

The patented overload system regulates automatically. Larger pieces of slag and iron no longer cause the toggle plate to break. There are no unplanned costs and downtimes.

Sieve & separation unit

Screening and separation systems from Neuson Hydrotec are designed for slag and hard rock.

These robust screening plants are specially designed and built for 3-shift operation. The valuable iron and the secondary raw material slag are efficiently separated using separation systems. The crushed rock or the final slag residue is cleanly classified into 4 size fractions.

Advantages of the Neuson Hydrotec screening & separating unit

The powerful sieve

The MRP40300 track-mounted heavy-duty screen from Neuson Hydrotec effortlessly masters the challenges of slag, steel and ore. Thanks to its robust design and pioneering technology, the screening plant with its variable settings and operating sequences achieves optimum separation results for maximum yield.

Efficient processes

The heavy-duty screen automates the screening and separation process. This enables efficient screening of the input material on site according to the desired particle size and magnetic properties. Different programs allow the operator to optimize the efficient processes at any time.

Minimization of downtimes

Slag, steel and ores quickly push conventional screening plants to their performance limits. However, the Neuson Hydrotec screening plant was developed to withstand precisely such extreme loads in the long term. Thanks to the horizontal design, iron bears weighing several tons are guided through the screen without causing damage to the plant. This significantly reduces unplanned downtimes and leads to an immediate increase in productivity.

Conveyor technology

Conveyor belts are a thing of the past. The vibro-channel was specially developed for use in concrete and iron quarries and is characterized by its wear resistance and cost-effectiveness.
No conventional conveyor belt can withstand heavy, sharp-edged breakage in the long term; the maintenance effort is enormous. The entire system is not productive during the downtime or maintenance periods of a conventional conveyor belt. This is why vibro-channels in the heavy-duty segment have an amazingly short payback period. Powerful motors provide the necessary imbalance and the design of the troughs is designed for robustness and long-term loading.

High intensity separator

Light magnetic alloys such as ferrochrome in the slag are difficult to separate using conventional magnetic separators. However, the higher the degree of purity of the slag, the more valuable it becomes as a secondary raw material.

Neuson Hydrotec has developed the high-intensity separator HIAB1000 in order to be able to use slag with a high degree of purity as an additive in the cement and fertilizer industry.

With the HIAB1000, we are setting new standards in slag processing and contributing to the sustainable use of resources.

Individual magnetic drum

The heart of the system, a 5000 gauss magnetic drum, reliably separates weak magnetic components from the ironworks slag.
Different magnetic field depths are available depending on the size of the grain to be processed.

Reliable execution

Our tailor-made solutions are characterized by their robust design and specific adaptation to your requirements, resulting in minimal downtimes. Thanks to their simple design, our products are particularly easy to maintain and service.

Powerful

Depending on the design and grain size, our machines can process up to 50 tons of material per hour. The hydraulic drive ensures high durability, a long service life and excellent resistance to unfavorable weather factors.

With the robust jaw crushing and screening plants from Neuson Hydrotec, you set standards in the processing of slag.

Customized systems

With robust crushers, correctly dimensioned screening technology and material logistics tailored to the specific application (feeding, removal of fractions, transport chutes, conveyor technology), we offer efficient and customized solutions for particularly hard materials. The most efficient systems are created when the components are matched to the specific application and the specific material properties.

FAQs

The single-toggle jaw crusher is the most cost-effective crushing option due to its design. The crushing plates have a mineral-dependent service life of up to 3000 working hours.

The ST01BB is designed for crushing slag and hard rock.

Its unique design with the patented release system makes it the ideal universal crusher for iron and steel slag.

Slag from ironworks contains residual iron that adheres to the slag during skimming. Different production processes leave between 5 and 50% “residual iron” in the slag.

This raw material can be fed back into the smelting process. The iron-free residual slag is an important secondary raw material in road construction, for example.

Slag is a very abrasive material that often contains so-called iron bears (large unbreakable pieces of iron). If an iron bear gets into an impact mill, this leads to severe damage to the crushing chamber and the blow bars.

In conventional jaw crushers without a release system, an iron bear causes the crushing plates to break or production to stop, as the iron bear has to be removed manually.

With the ST01BB, the crushing chamber opens hydraulically, allows the iron bear to fall through and closes again to the set gap dimension.

Due to their design, jaw crushers are particularly suitable as primary crushers. Due to the type of crushing process, comparatively little fine grain is produced. The use of a screen is recommended to produce a defined final grain.

The MRP was designed to produce several (up to 3 classifications) end products in a single operation. With up to 3 individually configurable magnetic separators, it can freely produce 3 slag end products FE.

Conventional screening machines can make several separating cuts, but can only separate the classifications into metallic and slag parts in downstream work steps. Each additional work step costs money and time. The MRP40300 completes the task in a single work step with a capacity of up to 300 tons/hour.

Yes, because it is more cost-efficient to bring the machine to the material than to bring the material to the machine.

The open design of the MRP means that screen linings can be replaced quickly. It is not necessary to dismantle the upper deck to replace the screen linings in the lower deck.

Yes, the MRP can be configured with a diesel engine, with an electric motor, with both units in full drive and, if equipped with an electric motor, with an auxiliary diesel for moving the machine.

Thanks to its horizontal design, the MRP can convey stones, slag or iron bears weighing several tons. Hydraulic stones with a size of up to 350 mm can be classified as end products.
