MZR-750 System
The Metaullics® Zinkoff Recovery System (MZR) makes in-house recovery a viable option for galvanizers and zinc processors. At the heart of the MZR is a thermo-mechanical device able to separate free zinc from material mixtures and top drosses. The MZR is a highly efficient in-house industrial system able to recover nonferrous metal from industrial process wastes and top drosses including, hot-dip skimmings and dust, continuous galvanizing top dross, primary and secondary zinc refining operations. The recovered zinc is both technically and commercially acceptable for direct reuse into the process, and any ZnO residues can be sold.
Environmental Benefits
The European Commission Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control (IPPC) recognized MZR technology as the best available technique for dross waste management. In-house recovery reduces total volumes of waste for disposal, as well as reduces the amount of transportation required for virgin zinc and waste products up to 90%.
Advantages
-
Reduction in the volume of virgin zinc bought at London Metal Exchange (LME) rates
-
No LME premium on recovered zinc
-
Low operational cost; does not require dedicated staff
-
Reduced volume of residual skimmings for disposal
-
Value in residual skimmings after zinc removal
-
Approximate six-month payback when calculating for 200 tons of dross per year
