Sou operador de Sehredder auque no Brasil, uma tequinologia de última geração, pra obitermos uma boa produção em processamento tem que uma máquina abastecer e uma aproximando igual vimos no vidio, claro fazendo corretamente a seleção do material pra que não aja porta de rejeitos, pra quem não cnhece e um material denso como rodas de trem vigas fora do padrão e etc parabéns pelo vido excelente!

In Belgium, in Gent, Retra Co, operates the same way since 1980, so nothing new here, but only at 4,000 HP.

[@gregorysell4529]

This was in Elkhart. The neighborhood complaint was great and it was moved.

[@ivanortiz390]

I used to work there, i used to work at the scale, then i got a higher position grading the metals that came from others company. I remembered rejecting a load because it was like 80% dirt and 20% metal.

[@daveestes942]

shredders are constant maintenance and expensive to keep up gas tanks with gas in them are a real problem huge explosion and debris flying everywere,been there seen that

[@salvageman1983]

Sturgis shut down and filed chapter 11. The shredder was sold at auction for 41 million. The property sits empty now. They shut down because of noise and dust complaints from neighbors...

[@kercchan3307]

stupid neighbors from hell.......

[@ivanortiz390]

They re-open now, I'm not sure what the place is called now but mega Shredder it's gone.

Copper sunk the Titanic? I was told it was an iceberg. Turns out it was a copperberg!

[@kercchan3307]

one theory was it was contaminated steel that made the hull more brittle.

I have seen a railroad gondola car full of that "Frag" sitting at a siding at a railroad station ( Fullerton, CA )... it reeked of motor oil... That railroad car must have weighed an un-Godly amount of tonnage. 5:35

Wales uk currently has the biggest crusher/shredder

[@snoozinghipo]

The biggest shredder is in Wales, UK now!

[@travelinthru9519]

Yep this one is closed they tore it down it's sitting out in the middle of a field

[@nilknarf483]

The two shredders I am familiar with are far from residential areas.

[@terrywilder9]

Fritz Enterprises has a shredder/rotary hammer mill with 2400lb hammers that could physically process this tiny machine.

[@bluefalcon1952]

The shredder I ran was not in a building, so the noise just went.

[@Phuqem]

At the time it became operational it was the largest - shredders will continue to grow as we continue to recycle & consume more metal every year

[@gregorysell4529]

This wasn't too far from me. Neighbors complained and it got moved.

[@vstrom9586]

Build a house next to a farm and complain of the smell

heating it won't separateaterials & uses a ton of energy & puts all kinds of things into the atmosphere the EPA would never allow it

...isn't Sturgis Iron and Metal in Sturgis, Michigan?

[@DragonSMP]

It was when I worked there, back in the 80s, but the yard in sturgis got reduced to just a collection area, that sends the scrap to other processing areas, and as far as I know it changed hands to OmniSource Corporation. I'm guessing the original Sturgis Iron And Metal business moved to Levin And Son's in Elkhart, In. My first job in the yard, back in 1984, was maintenance on the hammer mill that was there at that time. It had 32 x 250lb hammers. I shoveled a lot of dirt, and greased a lot of rollers.

[@Phuqem]

Sturgis Iron and Metal was headquartered in Sturgis Michigan and had a smaller shredder there. We had 8 locations in 3 states

[@skippyjunior2744]

But, conversely, America has a helluva lot more of these operations.

[@mikenewtonninja9379]

it could brown out the city? is that a shit reference?

[@A_Bit_of_Thought]

No, not that type of reference. The main drive motor could pull a heavy enough of an electrical surge to overload the power company's generators.

[@daveestes942]

can your tractors shred like this?

[@laoluu]

This one works all day. Your tractors go up in smoke after a few minutes :)

[@Drew-in-NoDak]

The biggest farm tractor made still made today in a commercial setting is 620 horsepower there is nowhere near a thousand horsepower in any tractor ever made

[@algoo36]

heat op the metal is more simple

[@TheShowgunofHarlem]

do u know what that would cost?

[@alexhickey5633]

suraj algoo it has to be broken down to small pieces, seaparated from other non ferrous metals and bits of plastic before it can be melted down. Melting one huge solid lump of steel would take far longer than if you were to get a heap of shredded steel the same weight and just melt it

[@isakjohansson7134]

Thats just sad
