Summary
Students in the subject will learn about the way to use and processing of metal
waste and about various technologies of its treatment, so as to be possible this
metal further use and recycle. The basic technology of
scrap metal treatment is primarily material division (cutting, burning,
division in other ways), baling, shredding and briquetting. In addition, students
become familiar with the requirements for these technologies based on the options for facilities
remelting scrap metal.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
The aim of education in the subject is knowledge, understanding and analysis, of basic principles of waste metal treatment and design-construction design of machines and equipment for cutting, baling, shredding, briquetting, transport and sorting of scrap metal.
