Castelfranco Veneto, Italy – In a significant move to enhance its scrap processing operations, Padana Rottami Srl, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Acciaierie Venete Group, has integrated a powerful new tool into its Castelfranco Veneto site: the SENNEBOGEN 840 E electric material handler. Specially outfitted with a 5-meter high pylon and advanced ground anchoring, this stationary machine is now central to feeding a newly installed sliding shear, built for the efficient volumetric reduction of metals.
Tailored for High-Performance Scrap Handling
As a leading processor of iron and steel scrap, Padana Rottami plays a crucial role in supplying ready-mix metals to foundries and steelworks across Italy. With a 50,000-square-meter main warehouse and a team of 70 employees, the company consistently prioritizes speed, safety, and sustainability in its operations.
The decision to deploy the stationary electric SENNEBOGEN 840 E was guided by the goal of reducing operational costs, lowering environmental impact, and optimizing performance in scrap handling — especially under high loads and intense workloads.
Quiet Power, Elevated Efficiency
The electric drive of the SENNEBOGEN 840 E ensures low noise, reduced vibrations, and significant energy savings, creating a more comfortable and sustainable working environment. The elevated cab, positioned atop a 5-meter pylon, offers operators excellent visibility and a safer workflow.
“It wasn’t difficult to learn how to operate,” said Nicola Magaton, machine operator at Padana Rottami. “But it did take some time to get used to working at this height. The machine’s movements are fluid, and the cabin offers plenty of space and a safe environment.”
Partnership, Performance, and Proven Results
The purchase was strongly supported by Cesaro Mac Import, a long-term technology partner of Padana Rottami for over 20 years. Their reputation for innovative solutions and responsive service helped solidify trust in choosing the SENNEBOGEN 840 E.
Thanks to fast cycle times, custom configuration, and durability in outdoor scrap processing, the new machine has become a cornerstone of Padana Rottami’s workflow. The company has already ordered a second machine — the SENNEBOGEN 835 G — expected to arrive in November 2023, further deepening this strategic partnership.
Toward a Greener, More Productive Future
By investing in electric, high-efficiency machinery, Padana Rottami continues to set benchmarks in modern, sustainable scrap recycling. With equipment designed for safety, visibility, and reduced environmental impact, the company exemplifies the evolving face of industrial metal processing in Italy and beyond.
