Shredded Scrap

Steel

Shredding transforms mixed metallic scrap into a more homogeneous product. It is done in a shredder, a powerful piece of enclosed equipment with rotating hammers which break down the incoming material. Shredded scrap’s regular consistency is attractive to electric arc furnace operators as it is easy to charge and offers uniform steel chemistry.
