Shear shredders are versatile and can handle a wide range of materials, including plastic, rubber, metal, wood, and electronic waste. In recycling facilities, they are commonly used to process scrap metal, reducing it to manageable sizes for further recycling operations. In the plastics industry, shear shredders are employed to break down various plastic products and packaging, facilitating the recycling process and enabling the recovery of valuable materials.
4. Annealing Following the cold rolling process, the steel strips may require annealing. This heat treatment process relieves internal stresses that develop during cold rolling, restoring ductility and reducing hardness. The annealing process can be performed in a continuous furnace where the steel strip is heated and then gradually cooled.
