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!

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

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...

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

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

@DragonSMP 6 жыл бұрын

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.

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
