Our Scrap Metal Process

Scrap yards are facilities that specialise in buying, processing, and selling various types of scrap metal, including steel, copper, aluminum, brass, and others.

Here is a general overview of how scrap yards process scrap metal:

Collection: Scrap metal is collected from various sources, such as industrial sites, construction sites, demolition sites, households, and others. Some scrap yards also have containers or bins placed in different locations for people to drop off their scrap metal.

Sorting: Once the scrap metal is collected, it is sorted based on its type and quality. For example, steel is separated from copper, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The sorting process is usually done using magnets, sensors, and manual labor.

Overall, the process of processing scrap metal in a scrap yard involves several steps, from collection to casting, and requires specialised equipment and techniques to ensure the quality of the final products.
