#EcoMelting: Charging Feeder
for more sustainability

With the #ecoMelting project, Fritz Winter is targeting an annual CO₂ reduction of approximately 44,000 tons – an innovation driving sustainable change in the foundry industry. Our Charging Feeders play a key role here: they ensure the supply for the melting process, supporting low-emission production. With a bunker capacity of 35 tons of scrap, they rank among the largest and most powerful machines we've ever designed.

The size and weight of these machines made their transport and assembly an extremely challenging process. Shipping our oversized Charging Feeder required precise timing and coordination among all parties involved.

Another highlight of our project is the custom alloying plant we developed and delivered alongside the Charging Feeders. This system plays an important role in process optimization, ensuring the exact dosing of materials – a crucial factor in achieving the targeted CO₂ savings.

Until the planned commissioning, we’re working closely with the Fritz Winter team on final adjustments and tests.

For a Low-CO₂ Future

With the #ecoMelting project, we’re demonstrating that technological innovation and sustainability can go hand in hand. Together with Fritz Winter, we’re making a valuable contribution to reducing CO₂ emissions in the foundry industry and promoting climate-friendly production. Our two 30-ton Charging Feeders are the result of modern engineering and sustainable planning – and here at JOEST, we’re proud to be doing our part for a greener future.
