- Mill Services



Through our Mill Services group, we offer a unique combination of state-of-the-art metallurgical, operating, and supply expertise to provide scrap management solutions for iron and steelmakers’ scrap quality problems. Operations are site-specific, and are custom-tailored to maximize each customer's productivity and profitability. A significant impact on scrap costs is made by the proper design and loading of the scrap charge. The proper design, quality control, loading and tracking of the scrap mix can save (or cost) a mill or foundry several dollars per net ton of steel produced.

Scrap accounts for a significant portion of the cost of producing steel at a mill (40-50% at an electric furnace mill). Scrap also affects many other mill expenses including electrode and lime usage, power and oxygen consumption, and refractory wear. DJJ's experts help optimize the scrap charge to produce the lowest liquid steel cost, while achieving the desired finished product quality.

Scrap management services offered include:

Tools used to help provide solutions for iron and steelmakers' quality challenges include our proprietary optimization software and motion compensated crane scale systems. These tools enable the blending of secondary scrap grades and allow for a charge design that satisfies the constraints of the melt shop.
