Loading steel scrap and alloy

About the sound

The sound of steel and alloy scrap being loaded.
The grab bucket can be used for lifting and loading any type of scrap steel, but in particular is good for lifting long round bars and wide flats. In addition, the magnet lifting plate is used for the selection of specifically magnetic material.
In the melt shop, the scrap steel and alloys are with the help of either the magnet lifting plate or hydraulic grab bucket loaded into large buckets (baskets).

Metal Ravne is the legal successor to Železarna Ravne. The company's range includes a steel plant programme, which starts the production of all their rolled and forged products. Due to technological modernisation over recent years, the company has all the most important machinery for the production of high-quality steel, including a 45t UHP electric arc furnace, a vacuum ladle furnace and a state-of-the-art ‘teeming pit’ for high-class conventional ingots. Their range of products includes ingots, billets with rounded edges and wide flats, with round, flat and square sections, forged bars, machined forgings, discs, bushes, etc.
