The new shredder will be supplied by The Shredder Company, LLC of El Paso, Texas, USA. Speaking of this agreement, Scott Newell, the company CEO, says: ’This is the first times that we are supplying a shredding plant that sits right on top of the equator. We are very proud to have been selected as the suppliers of this plant after the Adelca personnel did a worldwide search for the best equipment and we look forward to working with this skilled group to help them accomplish their goals.’
Adelca says that this investment is a part of improving the productivity and efficiency of their present steel making equipment. It is a part of the Adelca philosophy to make constant improvements and the use of high quality shredded steel scrap will allow shorter turn times tap to tap for heats from the electric furnaces and it will provide better chemistry and consistency in the steel quality produced. The plant installation and startup is expected to be completed before September 2010.
Adelca claims to be very committed to being good citizens of Ecuador and are making this investment as a part of increasing the use of recycled material in the production of new steel.
