In Nuvolera the material arrives and is inspected. In Mazzano a line for shredding and magnetic, eddy current and X-ray sorting turns it into End of Waste aluminium.
Registered office and warehouse · 3,000 m²
All material arrives and leaves from here: every load is weighed and undergoes a radiometric check. Material is received Monday to Friday, from 8:00 to 16:00.
Processing plant · 3,075 m²
The processing line: hammer mill, magnetic drums, eddy current separator and X-ray separator. Material is delivered to Nuvolera.
Four stages, four technologies. The mill and the separators are among the investments made with EU Project IS0109978.
3D reconstruction of how it works
01 Shredding
Panizzolo FLEX 800 MOBILE
The scrap enters through the hopper and a hydraulic pusher feeds it to the rotor. The hammers reduce it to uniform pieces that are easier to separate: the first step towards clean metals.
The mill works inside a soundproof enclosure, with built-in hydraulic circuit and control panel.

02 Ferrous separation
Steinert, permanent magnets
Permanent magnet drums, one of them with neodymium magnets, hold back the iron parts and separate them from the flow. What carries on is non-ferrous metal, with plastic, rubber and inert material.

03 Eddy current
Steinert EddyC
Inside the head pulley of the belt, a rotor with neodymium magnetic poles spins. The constantly changing field induces currents in non-ferrous metals: aluminium is repelled and thrown beyond an adjustable splitter, while plastic, rubber and inert material fall short of it.
The electrical panel is networked (Profinet) and ready for Industry 4.0.

04 X-ray sorting
Steinert XSS T EVO 5.0
X-rays measure the density of every piece passing on the belt. Light aluminium carries on; heavier metals are blown away in a fraction of a second by compressed-air jets controlled by a valve bar.
Steinert states aluminium purity of up to 99.8% for this machine, the same figure we state for the aluminium we produce.
From the load arriving in Nuvolera to the End of Waste material that leaves.
Material arrives in Nuvolera: you deliver it, or we arrange collection.
Every load is weighed and undergoes a radiometric check.
In Mazzano the mill reduces the scrap to uniform pieces.
Eddy current and X-ray separators split the aluminium from the rest.
End of Waste aluminium, with purity up to 99.8%.
Sennebogen 821 and Minelli M20 material handlers, a Merlo TF38.10CS telehandler and a STILL RX60-30 forklift move the material between the yards and the line.
