Abstract:
A plant for recovering and treating residues from crushing scrap is provided. The plant includes a first plant part and a second plant part. The first plant part is provided with crushing and separation means configured to extract ferrous materials, non-ferrous metals and plastic materials from the residues from crushing. The separation means are provided with a granulator system configured to reduce, in dry mode and without pre-screening stages, the residues from crushing into a stream of granular material. The second plant part is provided with means to treat and size the plastic materials configured to transform the plastic materials into additive material to be used, in particular, in iron and steel plants such as blast furnaces, electric arc furnaces or suchlike. The means to treat and size the plastic materials includes a dry system for cutting and/or grinding the plastic materials.

Claim (Index 22):
Method for recovering and treating residues from crushing scrap ( 12 ) by means of a plant according to  claim 17 , the method comprising one or more first sequential steps, actuated using dry workings, of crushing and separating the residues from crushing ( 12 ), thus by means of a granulator system ( 11 ) and separation means ( 13 ,  15 ,  17 ,  19 ) able to extract ferrous materials ( 14 ), non-ferrous metals ( 20 ) and plastic materials ( 16 ,  24 ) from said residues from crushing ( 12 ), and second steps of treating and sizing the plastic materials ( 16 ,  24 ) extracted from said residues from crushing ( 12 ) able to transform said plastic materials ( 16 ,  24 ) into additive material to be used in iron and steel plants ( 40 ) such as blast furnaces, electric arc furnaces or suchlike; said second steps comprising: a second dry system for cutting and/or grinding ( 33 ) the plastic materials ( 16 ,  24 ) located downstream of a thermomechanical transformation system ( 32 ) of the plastic materials ( 16 ,  24 ); the thermomechanical transformation system ( 32 ) being able to transform the plastic materials ( 16 ,  24 ) into a series of briquettes or compact cylinders and the second cutting and/or grinding system ( 33 ) being able to obtain material in a granular form which is used as additive material, for example to function as fuel or reducing agent ( 34 ), to be fed to in the iron and steel plants ( 40 ).
