Cables, wires, plastic strips and shredded electronic materials are notorious for bridging and tangling, which can cause severe problems in conventional feeding systems.

Clyde's ROTOScrew technology is specifically designed to manage these difficult materials.

Key features include:

• Controlled screw extraction from feed vessels
• Single or multi-screw discharge systems
• Reliable feeding of irregular materials into injection pipelines
• Reduced risk of blockages and equipment downtime

Additional features such as flow liners and internal agitators can also be incorporated to ensure consistent discharge of difficult materials.

Prepared recycled materials can be injected directly into high-temperature metallurgical processes to recover valuable metals.

Clyde injection systems are used to feed materials into:

• Copper smelters
• Top Submerged Lance (TSL) furnaces
• Bath smelters
• Flash smelters
• Other high-temperature metallurgical reactors

The injected materials dissolve into the molten metal, where valuable elements such as gold, silver, copper, and platinum-group metals are recovered during downstream refining.

Clyde Injection Technology
Clyde provides specialised injection systems designed specifically for demanding metallurgical environments.

The recovery of valuable metals from electronic waste and batteries is essential to reducing reliance on primary mining and securing future supplies of strategic materials.

Clyde Pneumatic Conveying supports this transition by providing high-reliability process injection technology that enables efficient integration of recycled materials into modern metallurgical recycling processes.
