Driven by the high development pressure on automobile manufacturers and suppliers, lightweight construction has been gaining more and more importance in this industry for several years now. Aluminium is regarded as one of the most important materials for achieving the desired weight reduction. Even before the trend towards emobility, the proportion of aluminium per car increased rapidly, so that an average of around 140 kg is currently used per vehicle, and the trend is rising. In order to be able to produce as economically and resource efficiently as possible, the recycling of scrap parts and casting residues is becoming increasingly important for the foundry industry.

The recycling experts at ERDWICH Zerkleinerungs- Systeme GmbH will be presenting the RM1350/2 twin-shaft ripper and the M600/1 single-shaft shredder at this year‘s EUROGUSS in Düsseldorf, two systems from their portfolio that can be integrated into complete production lines as fully automated solutions. The recycling of scrap parts thus becomes the first step in the foundry‘s production cycle.
