Industrial Metal Recycling Equipment
Prepare drums, profiles, appliance scrap, aluminum, cables, and selected industrial metal waste for separation, baling, or remelting preparation. BoRay evaluates the chamber, cutters, and drive around scrap shape, thickness, and operating load.
Your Metal Feed
A steel drum, an aluminum profile, and a thick solid component do not load the cutting system in the same way. Dimensions, wall thickness, hardness, and the proportion of mixed materials all affect the selection.
Describe the scrap as it will actually be fed. Photos showing the largest pieces and their cross-sections help distinguish a primary volume-reduction task from a project that needs more controlled sizing.
| Your feed | Why it matters | What to evaluate |
|---|---|---|
| Drums and hollow containers | Large outer dimensions can hide thin walls, internal parts, or remaining contents. | Diameter, wall thickness, construction, and residual contents to review before feeding. |
| Aluminum profiles and production scrap | Profile shape and section thickness influence cutter engagement. | Alloy or scrap type if known, cross-section, piece length, and desired discharge. |
| Vehicle and appliance scrap | Housings, panels, frames, and mixed assemblies vary in composition. | What has been removed upstream, largest pieces, and the remaining nonmetal content. |
| Steel, iron, and heavier industrial scrap | Thick or hard solid pieces create different loads from light sheet and hollow sections. | Thickness, hardness if known, and individual heavy components requiring assessment. |
| Cables and mixed scrap | Flexible bundles and changing material proportions affect feeding and separation. | Bundle dimensions, main metals, contamination, and the intended recovery stage. |
Machine Selection
Begin with the scrap’s physical form and duty. The material name alone does not determine the machine size or whether a heavier configuration is needed.
Bulky and irregular scrap
Twin rotors pull in drums, profiles, appliance housings, and mixed scrap for primary tearing and shearing. Evaluate this route when reducing bulk and preparing material for downstream separation are the main tasks.

Heavier loads and longer duty
For thicker scrap, larger structures, or longer operating hours, review the heavier drive and machine structure against the actual load. Heavy-duty selection still requires checking individual hard or solid components.

Selected production scrap
For selected aluminum and production scrap needing more controlled discharge, evaluate a single shaft arrangement. Suitability depends on the incoming scrap and the rotor, knife, and screen configuration.
Review Single Shaft Options →The Next Process
Smaller scrap is useful only if it suits the equipment and handling process that follow.
| Next stage | What to define before selecting the shredder |
|---|---|
| Sorting and metal separation | Specify the incoming piece size and material mix that the separation equipment can accept. |
| Baling, storage, or transfer | Explain the feeding and handling problem to solve, including the baler or conveyor interface. |
| Remelting preparation | Confirm the receiving process’s requirements for size, composition, and contamination. |
| Further size reduction | Identify whether the first machine needs only to pre-shred or must produce feed for a secondary stage. |
Shredding does not by itself guarantee metal purity, a specific bulk density, or suitability for every remelting process. Those outcomes depend on the scrap and the full recovery route.
Share your downstream equipment or handling goal so the discharge and line connections can be reviewed together.
Structure and Operation
Cutter engagement, torque transmission, overload response, and maintenance access all matter when the feed varies from batch to batch.
Cutter selection affects how hollow containers, profiles, and irregular pieces enter the cutting zone. Review the largest pieces and section thickness rather than choosing by material name alone.
The frame, shaft supports, bearings, and gearbox are evaluated as a working assembly for the expected impact and operating duty.
PLC monitoring and reverse control help respond to overloads. They support operation but do not make unassessed hard objects suitable for direct feeding.
Review maintenance access and replaceable components alongside the installation layout so routine service needs are considered before the machine is selected.
Explore the single shaft structure and knife options or compare double shaft pre-shredding.
Manufacturing
BoRay’s workshop records show frame fabrication, equipment assembly, and finished-machine checking. Review the structure details alongside the manufacturing process.

I can help compare primary volume reduction with more controlled sizing for selected scrap. Describe the metal and how it is fed, and we will identify the details needed for a quotation.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. Thin sheet, hollow profiles, cast components, and thick solid pieces create different feeding and cutting loads. The actual geometry, thickness, hardness, and material mix need to be reviewed.
Photos and approximate dimensions are useful starting points. Include wall thickness if known, internal components, and any remaining contents so the feed condition can be assessed before quotation.
Larger feed, thicker scrap, higher impact loads, and longer working hours can justify reviewing a heavier configuration. The final choice depends on the scrap and duty, rather than a blanket claim that all heavy metal can be processed.
It can be evaluated for selected aluminum and production scrap requiring more controlled output. Suitability must be checked against the material, feeding arrangement, rotor, knives, and screen.
Not by itself. The required separation and preparation steps depend on the starting scrap and the receiving process’s requirements for composition, size, and contamination.
