Metal Shredders
Metal shredders are heavy-duty shredders used to shred scrap metal into small pieces that are later recycled. They are an incredibly important part of the waste management and metalworking industries in the United States, where about half of all stainless steel is recycled scrap metal.
Scrap metal shredders can take items such as junk automobile bodies and separate the metal from non-metal components, shred the metal, and then compress it into solid blocks. These blocks may be as dense as 110 to 120 pounds per cubic foot.
Metal shredders regularly process materials such as steel drums, copper and aluminum cable, tubing, sheet metal, extrusions, and baled aluminum. When choosing a particular metal shredder, material size, material make-up, location, blade material and hardness should all be considered.
