Boost Your Scrap Metal Value: Understanding Shredding and Shearing Processes

Recycling metals efficiently isn't just about environmental responsibility—it's about maximising profitability. At Oran Metal Group, we understand that knowing how metal recycling processes work can directly impact the value of your scrap metals. In this blog, we'll explore two key recycling processes: shredding and shearing, and how mastering these technologies can boost your scrap metal's quality and your earnings.

Shredding: Transforming Metal for Enhanced Value

Metal shredding involves breaking down large metal objects into smaller, more manageable pieces using industrial shredders. This process not only makes the handling and transporting of metals easier but significantly improves recycling efficiency. By shredding, impurities like plastic, wood, and rubber can be effectively separated, increasing the purity and value of the recycled metals.

Benefits of shredding:

• Improved scrap quality through effective separation of contaminants

• Enhanced efficiency and reduced transportation costs

• Greater marketability and increased value of processed metals

Shearing: Precision for Maximum Profits

Shearing is another critical step in metal recycling that involves precisely cutting large pieces of

metal into standardised sizes. With powerful hydraulic shear machinery, bulky metal waste is

quickly transformed into neat, manageable, and transportable pieces. Shearing not only simplifies

storage and transportation but also makes scrap metal more attractive to recycling plants and

buyers, enhancing its overall market value.

Advantages of shearing:

• Standardised sizing that improves handling and transport efficiency

• Reduced operational costs and increased productivity

• Higher scrap metal value due to consistent quality and purity
