Baled scrap shredders and recycling plants

Zato has many years of experience manufacturing customized shredders to processes scrap bales. Steel mills and metal furnaces are not fans of un-opened bales. Whole bales use a lot more energy to melt and can be full of impurities and potentially explosive items such as gas canisters and water pockets. Opening the bales with a pre shredder creates a dense, easy to melt product that is free of explosive material.

Zato’s baled scrap shredding plants guarantee the highest results in scrap purity and cleanliness. Bales opened by shredding can be processed by a scrap cleaning line which allows for the efficient removal of dust, residues and other impurities. Our scrap recycling shredders are specifically designed to process bales and can be coupled to a separation line. The separation line will efficiently separate valuable non-ferrous (NF) metals AKA ZORBA from the Ferrous (F) material to create a purer product thereby increasing the value of both material streams.
