Salzgitter AG starts construction of new shredding plant

Salzgitter AG has started construction of a new shredding plant for scrap.

Salzgitter AG starts construction of new shredding plant

Located at the integrated smelting site in Salzgitter, next to the SALCOS® systems already under construction, it will cost around 30 million euros to build. The new plant will enable the processing of high-quality scrap grades.

This creates a new building block for the production of "green steel" as part of SALCOS® - Salzgitter Low CO2 Steelmaking.

Partners in the construction of the new shredder were the Düsseldorf-based machine and system manufacturer Lindemann GmbH and the Belgian company Lybover.

Sandrina Sieverdingbeck, Managing Director of DEUMU, said:

"With this investment we want to strategically reorganize our scrap management in Salzgitter. We aim to expand our scrap recycling by utilizing high-quality steel scrap so that we can also ensure low-CO2 steel production in the future. In this way, we are creating the conditions to ensure the Group's future scrap supply in terms of both quantity and quality."

Together with internal partners, DEUMU is also developing scrap type 4 SALCOS® that meets the specifications of the SALCOS® production process. The commissioning of the new unit will also coincide with the start of the first phase of the SALCOS® - Salzgitter Low CO2 Steelmaking conversion program in 2026.

The transformation of steelmaking at the Salzgitter site will be fully completed by the end of 2033, well ahead of legal requirements.

Investing in product quality

Gunnar Groebler, CEO of Salzgitter AG, said:

"We know that the demand for scrap will increase significantly globally due to the impact of the circular economy, i.e. the material cycle. Due to the increasing electrification of steel routes worldwide, especially for CO2-reduced steel, the need for high-quality steel scrap will increase.

The processing of these scrap materials from old scrap will primarily be possible with modern shredding and separation systems. The new shredder is therefore an investment in product quality and serves above all to secure our own needs."
