Production from Aluminum Scrap

Production from Aluminum Scrap

Production from Aluminum Scrap

(OP)
Hello all,

i need an urgent advice about secondary aluminum production.Our facility produces 500 tonnes/year aluminum which is i catogorize it as ''new'' scrap.We want to use these scrap to produce our own aluminum alloys which do not need to be specification products(standard products).We will use them for example for facility.
What i want to ask is that do you think 500 tonnes a year a good number to invest on producing non specification aluminum?

and what procedured we have to follow?Is precleaning(for example in rotary kiln) a must for ''NEW'' scraps?

Thirdly, although we do not need specification product since we use different kind of series of aluminum scrap ,will different alloying elements cause trouble during remelting?

And finally what kind of furnace for secondary operation for the purpose i already mentioned? ? heard reverberatory furnace is used commonly , can induction or any other furnace can be used?
 
Thanks in advance
Regards
