customers already using Panizzolo machines.
Key benefits are:

1- HOURLY PRODUCTIVITY
Compared to previous models, the new Mega
7 Series increases hourly productivity without
altering the energy consumption. The Mega
735 mill has a 450 kW motor and a production
capacity of up to 35 tonnes per hour while the
Mega 725 model has a 355 kW motor and a
production capacity of up to 25 tonnes. The
new design is totally aligned to the structural
quality that has always distinguished Panizzolo
machines.

2 – FIELDS OF SCRAP APPLICATION
Particular attention was given to the redesign
of the components and the entire structure. In
this way, compared to others, the 7 Series can
perform treatments on a wide range of heavy
scrap, many of which do not require pre-pro-
cessing.

3 – LOW ENERGY COSTS
Mega 7 Series mills have the best balance
between energy consumption and production
capacity. They are specially designed to maxi-
mise the profitability of ground metals.

4 – MODULAR UPDATE
Mechanical, electrical and hydraulic upgrades
make the Mega 7 Series more modular and bi-
facial, increaseing the flexibility of the hammer
mill and eliminating standard adaptation costs.

5 – CHECK, CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Installed upgrades further reduce set-up times
for checking, cleaning and periodic mainte-
nance. The Mega 7 Series features state-of-
the-art casings, covers, safety systems and a
new range of accessories to simplify and
speed up the work of operators.
New models of Mega 7 Series hammer mills all
feature the patented interchangeable cradle,
the historic Panizzolo patent and a key ele-

ment in the grinding process, in the flexibility
of processing and in maintaining structural
quality in the long term.

TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATIONS FOR
THE REFINING PLANT
Every year, tonnes of waste rich in metals such
as copper, aluminium and brass are sent to
landfill or exported because contamination
and wear prevent most equipment on the mar-
ket from completing the recovery cycle, elimi-
nating profitability. The refining plant devel-
oped by Panizzolo allows the smallest amounts
of metal to be recovered mechanically and
profitably. So what’s new about the refining
plant presented at Ecomondo 2022?

1 – MASTER PLANT AND REFINING ISLANDS
Panizzolo solutions maximise the profitability
of mixed waste treatment. The modularity and
flexibility of the systems allow companies to
keep pace with market changes and seize new
business opportunities. Compared to other
technologies, both the Master plant and the
Refining Islands reduce management costs
through the personnel employed and logistics
handling. The technology guarantees the elim-

ination of the non-profitable sub-products
while the software manages, controls and reg-
ulates the most important phases of the treat-
ment.
Both solutions allow the processing of mixed
waste fractions including worn steel and
aggregates during both the grinding and gran-
ulation phases. The plant recovers even the
smallest metal fractions, allowing the output of
high-quality copper, aluminium, brass and steel
granules.

2 – THE NEW REFINER HAMMER MILL MODEL
‘RAF 330’
The valorisation of individual metal granules is
carried out by specific refiners hammer mills.
Hammers and armour combine in a Panizzolo
fusion to simultaneously work steel, glass,
cement powders and other worn aggregates.
The grinding logic and patented elements
guarantee longevity of the components, uni-
form wear, higher performance in volume
reduction and constant quality of the metal
output. The new RAF 330 model presented at
Ecomondo 2022 guarantees productivity of up
to three tonnes per hour with a 200 kW elec-
tric motor.
