Description
Recycled scrap steel is first manually sorted to remove excessively long, oversized, or overly thick pieces that are difficult to crush. These are sent to the cutting workshop for shearing, then transferred to the baling workshop where they are compressed into regular scrap steel. Lightweight and thin materials are directed to the crushing workshop, where they are processed through a crushing production line to produce refined scrap steel.
