Dross Engineering products

Dross Engineering designs and manufactures complete batterybreaking lines to efficiently separate the various components and recover the lead contained in used batteries.

The Tilting Rotary Furnace (TRF) is the benchmark for lead scrap melting. Products from battery shredding : Lead oxide paste. Big and fine metal.

Dross Engineering offers a wide range of furnace charge machines: Vibratory.  Screw type. Pusher.  Bottom plate retractor type. Vibrating lifting. Mixing.

After the reduction cycle lead bullion from the tilting rotary furnace is fed either directly into a refining kettle or into 1 tonne or 2 tonne sow moulds.

Dross Engineering manufactures a wide range of kettle furnaces to meet all requirements. Ten standard capacities, ranging from 5 tons to 100 tons. The refining furnaces are equipped with fume hoods and frames for mixers and pumps.

The Tilting Rotary Furnace (TRF) is the benchmark for melting aluminum scrap from recycling channels.

Dross Engineering builds a range of tilting or static melter/holder reverbatory furnaces. The furnaces can be fitted with side-wells designed to house circulation pumps.

Dross Engineering offers a wide range of ingot casting machines for ingots. Automated casting machines or carousels. Horizontal or "goose-neck" type machines may be located at floor level or in pit. The moulds are filled via an automated casting wheel controlled by laser sensors. Line speed is variable and controled from the operator’s desk. On request they can supply moulds for ingots of lower weights and with customer logo. Capacity from 110 to 240 molds.

Dross Engineering builds a range on ingot stacking machines that form either single or twin bales. Production is directly related to ingot weight as the minimum casting time per ingot is 4 seconds irrespective of ingot weight. Once the ingots reach the ‘knock-out’ station, at the end of the casting machine, the transfer to the stacker conveyor is automated and they undergo a thickness check, any out of range ingot is ejected. Options include: Ingot marking/identification Bale weighing station & labeling with weight and cast reference Automated bale strapping.

Mixers or agitators are used during lead refining operations in kettle furnaces. Dross Engineering manufactures mixers adapted to each size of kettle furnace.
