We consume the scrap. The processing is to alleviate material handling issues in loading our furnaces.
Does anyone know of a scrap shredding company or a company with a large shear/ram in the Milwaukee area? I'd like to try breaking these plates.
Another question, does anyone know of a company that makes shear/ram/forge style machinery?
Or does anyone know the approximate cost of a machine that could break what I described above? Now I have to see how cost prohibitive this idea would be.
Because I'm looking for something that can...
The surface of the parts has deep grooves, and could potentially break the arc. Also I'm looking at processing these automatically, with minimal human interaction. I'm looking at processing up to 40,000 in one 8 hr shift. Each piece is approx. 60 lbs. (processing around 700 pieces/shift).
I...
We don't do anything in the 300SS range; its all 17-4PH, 440, or white irons.
Just to be clear, we're talking about a shear press? How big is really big? Or what size would be necessary to shear (or fracture) parts up to 2" thick?
I'm looking to implement a crude process to break up stainless steels. The inputs will be segmented rings measuring up to 24" wide at the OD, 20" at the ID, 16" ID to OD, and 2" thick (think 66" dia. doughnut cut into 10 segments, yum [smile] ). The incoming material ranges from 17-4PH (Rc ~35)...
