Heavy steel from industrial equipment is transformed into manageable pieces for recycling, and not all steel makes the cut for the shredder.
In this episode of Scrap Talk, hosts Ross Litz and Kip Brown discuss the process of handling heavy steel, such as that from heavy and farm equipment, which is too thick to be processed through their shredder in Morristown, East Tennessee.
They explain how they use torching and a shear to cut the steel into manageable pieces that can be sold to steel mills.
Thanks to this conversation, you’ll learn about the importance of preparing the steel by removing non-steel components and cutting it into three-foot sections, as per the requirements of the steel mills.
Additionally, you’ll understand the challenges of dealing with pressurized tanks, which are hazardous and typically not accepted by scrap yards.
