Metal Scrap Crusher.
Nissho Iwai American Corp. developed the Runner Breaker breaker: see wave, in oceanography. , an automated metal crusher that reduces gray, ductile iron Ductile iron, also called ductile cast iron or nodular cast iron, is a type of cast iron invented in 1943 by Keith Millis[1]. While most varieties of cast iron are brittle, ductile iron is much more ductile, as the name implies. , aluminum and brass scrap down to manageable sizes for recycling recycling, the process of recovering and reusing waste products—from household use, manufacturing, agriculture, and business—and thereby reducing their burden on the environment. . The crusher works well in foundry operations where large unmanageable runners cause damage and job delays in charging systems, cupolas and induction furnaces An induction furnace is an electrical furnace in which the heat is applied by induction heating of a conductive medium (usually a metal) in a crucible around which water-cooled magnetic coils are wound. , bucket prep, charging, and de-slugging time. The computer controlled crushing machine breaks down large metal runners into small, targeted sizes and can withstand temperatures up to 700F(371C). The crusher can be used alone or as an integral part of an automated production line.
