• Minimise scrap stocks

• Optimise scrap charges

Consequences of poor scrap management:

=> EAF delays waiting for scrap

=> Incorrect weights charged

=> Low yields

=> Increased slag volumes

=> Missed specifications

=> Increased refractory wear

=> Greater flux, O2, power consumption Financial impact:

•  1 minutes lost production time approx $3000

•  10oC Cooling requirement approx $440 per heat

•  100 ppm [O] at tap approx $51 per heat

Optimum scrap mix is charged each and every time on time the correct weight, the correct quality, zero delays

• Full inspection, including state of the art radiation detection for all purchased scrap
