Waste metal shredding plant

In 2012, the company that manages waste disposal for the municipality of Rome, located in Pomezia, asked us to design a plant for shredding waste metal collected by the municipality.

The request came with the need to sort waste according to the type and size: ferrous and non-ferrous, small, medium or large.

A complex task since there are many waste processing stages. Therefore, the task required great technical knowledge and experience. CIF srl design engineers were not intimidated and promptly managed to design a waste sorting plant, whose core is indeed a grinding mill, where waste (already sorted in the previous stage by a rotary screen), is conveyed thanks to a conveyor belt system. The rotary screen, through the rotary motion of its axis and its inclination, ensures an additional degree of separation and classification of waste, according to the size.

The industrial magnet we placed above the mill had the obvious purpose of sorting the incoming material, separating ferrous and non-ferrous components.
The materials, once separated and sorted by material and size, could transit in an orderly fashion to their destination.

A true example of efficiency and customisation, which further proves the flexibility of CIF Carpenteria in addressing and solving specific customer requests.
The plant was installed successfully in Pomezia, generating, over the years, full customer satisfaction, to the extent of giving us the opportunity to further expand our range of collaborations, increasing the number of grinding plant functions through new applications.

Scala realizzata a Como per un centro poliambulatoriale a 6 piani.

Un grosso cliente di Marcheno, che fornisce servizi completi custom, ci ha commissionato una scala interna a 6 piani per la filiamle di Como del noto gruppo per la fornitura di servizi poliambulatoriali Synlab. La scala ovviamente doveva essere realizzata secondo normativa UNI EN 1090-2, essendo una struttura portante ed avendo la necessità di una classe minima di esecuzione 3.

Cif Carpenteria è in possesso di tutte le certificazioni e competenze necessarie, perciò non avuto alcun problema ad attivarsi e cominciare immediatamente il processo di progettazione. Un lavoro customizzato, su misura per le esigenze del cliente, che doveva installare la scala in ambiente interno preesistente e non particolarmente spazioso.

Ciascuno dei 6 piani della scala è stato quindi pensato per integrarsi al meglio con l’ambiente d’utilizzo, per raggiungere alte performance funzionali e salvaguardare lo spazio a disposizione.

Certamente il lavoro d’installazione non si è dimostrato semplice, visti i pochi metri quadri per lo spazio di manovra, ma il nostro personale qualificato è stato in grado di dar vita ad un progetto che potesse essere installato e movimentato senza utilizzare carrelli elevatori o carriponte per trasportare le travi e quindi, la messa in opera si è dimostrata praticabile ed efficiente.

Dopo quasi un mese di montaggio, con grande soddisfazione, abbiamo portato a termine, ancora una volta, la sfida, rifinendo il lavoro con una verniciatura effetto corten, capace di donare all’insieme un effetto vintage e di grande pregio estetico.

Una realizzazione capace di donarci grandi soddisfazioni e rendere estremamente soddisfatto anche il cliente finale.

Design and installation of a vibrating conveyor

In 2014, a large company in Bergamo asked us to create a vibrating conveyor, which would feed the pieces deposited on this conveyor channel towards an additional collection channel for further processing.

The customer needed to place the pieces on the vibrating conveyor using a “spider type” excavator and make them transit in the shortest possible time. However, for logistic and location-related issues, a common conveyor belt could not be used.

Bearing in mind the special construction needs expressed by the customer and the intended use of the plant (in constant contact with ferrous materials), our technical department designed a sturdy vibrating conveyor, built with special anti-wear steels, so that the constant contact with “aggressive” materials such as those being handled, would not make the machine wear out too easily.

While the second step of the design involved finding the optimal solution for transmitting the vibrations to the conveyor channel: in this regard, we consulted and collaborated with some industry specialists, in order to identify the best type of vibrating masses to be used, as well as the vibration dampers necessary to stabilise and support the bearing structure.

After running the required acceptance tests and identifying the necessary adjustments to be finalised, we the installed the unit at the customer’s premises, with full satisfaction, being commended for our clear problem-solving skills, and ensuring future collaborations for other plants.

Plant for the automatic formation of billet bundles

In July 2013, a large foundry in Roncadelle, in the province of Brescia, asked us to design a plant that could automatically form bundles of billets (exiting the drawing line) and strap them, while maintaining the classic hexagonal structure.

Although we had never designed a similar plant, our technical department immediately got down to work to find an optimal solution and, within a few weeks, the request was processed at design level and was presented to the customer, gaining interest and immediate enthusiasm.

So, after the planning and definition briefing, fabrication of the fully automated bundle formation plant got underway. An ambitious and sophisticated design, fully integrated with an extensive use of electronics, capable of handling the various bundle formation methods according to various parameters, such as billet diameter and length.

When the production process was complete, it was time to install everything at the customer’s premises and thanks to our teams of specialised workers and electricians, work was completed quickly and in a functional manner.

In recent years, the customer, satisfied with the design, manufacturing and consultancy solutions offered by CIF srl established an ongoing collaborative relationship, commissioning 4 additional facilities for other drawing lines in the facility. Work that has allowed us to further refine our skills and experience in this specific area and develop with additional minor process improvements.
