Benefits of Using Scrap Metal Shredder Machine

A shredding machine which is a heavy metal shredder is a machine that is used for the purpose of tearing large portions of metal scrap into smaller parts that have a high density. Such smaller portions must be clear of dust, rust and color contents. The scrap is turned into small pieces by specially fabricated machines known as Hammers that have a very high torque which helps to strike the scrap metal and aid shredding. Right from beating to shredding these specially designed Hammers made from alloy steel convert the scrap metal into sheave sized recycled products.

The need for recycling waste products provided by the shredding machines has become a necessary process especially since it provides a means of sustainably reducing overhead costs of raw materials. It offers economic solutions for treating scrap waste to reduce the environmental impact it might have on ground water, soil and scenery. Depending upon the intensity of the recycling process, you can purchase ideal metal shredding machines that can be fed with appropriate loads of scrap metal waste.

Watch the Video How Rotary Shear is shear/tear large volume of waste metal scraps :

A typical metal shredding machine essentially consists of a conveyer belt that segregates the ferrous and non-ferrous materials due to its magnetic properties. This segregation simplifies the shredding procedure and transforms scrap waste into economically useful fragments that can be re-used as secondary raw materials.

Benefits of Metal Shredding Machinery :

    •     During metal shredding, the yield of hot metal is very high compared to the amount that is fed inside.
    •     The chemistry of the obtained hot metal is concise, precise and consistent.
    •     The electrode breakage is minimized alongside lesser sulfur content.
    •     The capacity or durability of the hot metal is increased.
    •     Electrical consumption of the hot metal is lesser per ton.
    •     The benefit of recycling reduces air pollution and environmental hazards.
    •     Shredded scrap is easier to manage and provides a dense mix when blended with other stock.
    •     The shredded scrap is automatically segregated into ferrous and non-ferrous materials.
    •     The control systems of the shredding machine is automated or handled manually by the workers in charge.
    •     You can control or monitor the functions of the shredding machines accordingly to the quantity of scrap metal present.
    •     Shredding machines don’t require intensive care and need; therefore easy maintenance can be expected.
    •     The design of the shredding machine is flame proof therefore can sustain enough mechanical damage.
    •     The time efficiency of the shredding machine is precise and offers the shredded raw materials in the fasted period.
    •     You can control the amount of torque used in order to process light weight scrap and bulky scrap.
    •     The quantity of scrap processed can be recorded by the shredding machine as per the date, time and month precisely. This data is calculated by the machine itself.
    •     There is also provision of a dust collector in the shredding machine that facilitates multi-functional mode.
    •     Presence of a cooling and filtering system is attached within the shredding machines to obtain clean, pure and processed raw materials.

Scrap metal shredder

Machine used for reducing the size of scrap metal

A scrap metal shredder, also sometimes referred to as a metal scrap shredder, is a machine used for reducing the size of scrap metal. Scrap metal shredders come in many different variations and sizes.

Some examples of scrap metal materials that are commonly shredded are:

Car crushers are large machines that turn a car into a large bucket of scrap steel and the rest of the car into non-ferrous materials, plastics and waste called automotive shredder residue. The glass, fabric, plastic, and all other non-ferrous materials are separated by eddy current magnets in place of heavy media separation. The non-ferrous materials may be referred to as "zorba".[1] Often the profit from the non-ferrous materials covers the operating cost for the shredder.

When a metal shredder starts, the material enters into the tear box through the feeding system. The tear blade is loaded on the box. The material is torn into small pieces through the tear, extrusion and shear of the tear blade, and is discharged from the lower part of the box.[2]

Metal scrap recycling, also called secondary metal processing, is a large industry that processes, in the U.S. alone, 56 million tons of scrap iron and steel (including 10 million tons of scrap automobiles), 1.5 million tons of scrap copper, 2.5 million tons of scrap aluminum, 1.3 million tons of scrap lead, 300,000 tons of scrap zinc and 800,000 tons of scrap stainless steel, and smaller quantities of other metals, on a yearly basis.[3]

Types

Scrap metal shredders can be equipped with different types of cutting systems: horizontal shaft, vertical shaft, single-shaft, two-shaft, three-shaft and four-shaft cutting systems. These shredder designs can be high speed, medium speed and sometimes slow-speed systems, they always include hammermills of a vertical and horizontal shaft design, and can also include in contrast to hammer mills slow speed technology which are also used to process or shred metal and plastic and other waste materials encountered in the scrap metal industry.

The largest scrap metal shredders in the world often have 10,000 horsepower (hp) and are made by a wide range of companies. The designs originate from the 1966 patent applications of the Newell Group and the Williams Group for auto shredding or scrap metal shredding.[citation needed] One example is the 9,200 hp shredder from the Lynxs group at the Sims plant at the mouth of the River Usk in Newport Wales. This Lynxs shredder can process 450 cars per hour.[4] However, the Lynxs shredders are not unique in this high hp range design. The Schnitzer Steel group installed their own custom made 10,000 hp unit in 1980, and there are many Newell Shredders that have these high hp designs. A 9,000 horsepower Mega Shredder at Sims Metal Management's Claremont Terminal in Jersey City, New Jersey processes 4,000 tons of metal a day.[5]

Environmental impact

An engineered enclosure may be used to contain noise and dust.[6] In 2018, the California Department of Toxic Substances Control requested public comment on plans to implement enforceable operating requirements for scrap metal shredders.[7]

In Houston, the carcinogenic substance hexavalent chromium was identified as an emission from a scrap recycling facility.[8]
