The Shredder
Incoming loads are inspected at an easy to access scalehouse
before being directed to an unloading area. A separate outbound
scale keeps traffic moving and ensures a quick return trip.
Multiple cranes with grapples and magnets quickly unload
vehicles, sort and select material and keep a steady flow on the
shredder's infeed conveyor.
Heavy and structural steel is handled in a separate area of the
yard, which also includes a shear/baler/logger.
Shred material from the off-feed conveyor is ready for weighing
and loading.
