With MB, aluminum waste becomes a resource

A German company specializing in the recycling of metals and slag from the blast furnace uses a MB-LS170 scrubber to clean aluminum waste from residual dust and recycle it.

The versatility of the MB-LS170 not only makes it possible to select the steel slag resulting from the periodic cleaning of the blast furnace and to rid it of residual dust, but it contributes to the recycling of aluminum. The aluminum dust of less than 30 mm dimensions obtained by the company after the screening of the waste is then melted at high temperature in a special furnace, which provides ready-to-sell aluminum blocks.

Equipped on a Liebherr Radlader 509 excavator, the MB-LS170 screening bucket transforms the machine into a powerful mobile screening system. Lightweight (1.35 tons), compact (dimensions 1,670 x 1,865 H 1,380 mm), and with a loading capacity of 1,10 m3, it applies to mini-excavators, excavators and backhoe loaders From 6.5 to 11 t.
