Welcome to this week's episode of ScrapTalk! I'm your host, Ross Litz.

 In this episode, we're diving into the fascinating world of metal shredding and recycling. Have you ever wondered what happens to the steel that's already been shredded? It’s not as simple as running it through a paper shredder. 

Today, we're up close with the powerful machinery that makes it all possible. We'll give you an insider’s view of the shredding process, from the 380-pound hammers that break down the metal to the massive 2500 DC electric motors driving the operation. 

Plus, we'll explore the journey of scrap metal from your old lawn mower to its reincarnation at the foundry. Join us as we break down the nitty-gritty details of how we grind cars and other scrap at a rate of 110 tons per hour. This is ScrapTalk’s in-depth look at shredding 101. Let's get started!
