Barca Metals selects Danieli Centro Recycling for new high efficiency scrap processing plant
Danieli Centro Recycling has been selected by Barca Metals, a leading scrap-processing operator in New South Wales, to supply a new shredder-based recycling plant to be installed at the company’s newly developed yard in Razorback, NSW, Australia.
The core of the installation will be a DCR 2227 heavy-duty shredder, powered by a 4,000-hp (3,000 kW) main motor driven by a Danieli-patented variable speed drive system – inverter. This solution cuts electrical consumption up to 20%, while ensuring a sustained output of 100 tph of high-quality ferrous material.
Upstream, a ZDS 250-800 preshredder will perform safe de-bulking of incoming material, reducing explosive risks, stabilizing feeding, and supporting consistent throughput to the main shredder.
Downstream, a complete separation line featuring high-efficiency magnetic stages, cascade air separation, and dedicated non-ferrous recovery equipment will ensure exceptionally clean outputs. The optimized layout and process configuration will maximize scrap value, operational safety and overall plant profitability.
This project represents a new milestone for Danieli Centro Recycling in Oceania, strengthening its presence in the region with advanced, high-efficiency scrap-processing solutions.
