With the advance of Rear Eject technology being utilized on off-highway trucks for steel scrap haulage, mini-mill operators and contractors have found substantial efficiencies within their operations. A new way to properly load charging buckets for more efficient less costly steel production, one can move away from rail yard scrap pickup and the loading of charge buckets with overhead crane magnets and achieve the efficiencies of selectively choosing melt after melt the absolutely best steel charge in the scrap yard and then loading the charge bucket exactly as desired to achieve minimal charge bucket damage and maximum furnace productivity. With the use of off-highway trucks with a unique truck body one can exactly create the right charge mix and place this charge mix in the charging bucket exactly like it should go into the furnace for the shortest tap to tap times. The effects on charging bucket include: 1) Reduced charging bucket loading impacts; 2) Material is metered into the charging bucket; 3) How material is loaded into the rear-eject body is how material is then layered into the charging bucket; 4) Material flowing from a rear-eject body hits the charging bucket with much less energy than material that is being dumped from the front of a rear-dump body; 5) There is no danger of a conventional end-dump truck upending into the charging bucket; 6) Longer charging bucket lives. The effects on the furnace include: 1) With finer materials being placed at the bottom of the charging bucket by the rear-eject body as the charging bucket loads the furnace finer materials come out first cushioning the furnace bottom from the impacts of large chunks of steel; 2) With the layer of finer materials into the top of the charging bucket by the rear-eject body finer materials then end up at the top of the furnace charge and the charge melt time can be / are reduced as the finer materials melt faster transferring heat to the larger chunks of steel that can be / are placed in the middle of the furnace charge; 3) Longer furnace life between furnace rebuilds as less damage is caused to the furnace from large chunks of scrap hitting the bottom and lower sides of the furnace; 4) Quicker tap to tap times as materials are charged into the furnace in a way that scrap melting occurs quicker; 5) Reduced energy and longer electrode life results from having material placed into the furnace so that it melts quicker.
