The Shredder:

Efficient Metal Recycling for a Sustainable Future

Our advanced shredding technology allows us to efficiently process large pieces of scrap metal, such as end-of-life vehicles and appliances, breaking them down for re-melting and reuse.

How Our Shredder Works

1

Receipt & Sorting of Materials

Accepted materials are sorted and prepared for shredding. We process items like depolluted cars and household appliances (white goods).

2

Infeed & Shredding

Sorted scrap is loaded onto the infeed conveyor and fed into the shredder. Our cutting-edge hammermill breaks down the metal into smaller, manageable pieces.

3

Separation of Metals

Shredded materials are separated into two primary streams:

Ferrous Metals:

Cleaned and sorted, ready for shipment to steel mills.

Non-Ferrous Metals:

Sent for further processing at our facility, ensuring nothing goes to waste.

What Can Be Shredded?

We accept a variety of scrap metal for shredding, including:

Depolluted Cars

Household Appliances (without capacitors, batteries, or refrigerants)

Light Gauge Scrap Metal

What Cannot
Be Shredded?

Certain materials are not accepted in the shredder, including:

Batteries

Hazardous Materials

Compressed Gas Cylinders (unless punctured)

Fuel Tanks (un-punctured)

Why Shredding Matters

Shredding metal is vital for recycling and contributes to a circular economy. It allows materials to be reused as raw materials, reduces landfill waste, and helps conserve natural resources. Shredded metals are critical for sustainable manufacturing and energy conservation.
