Steel Scrap Processing Machinery for Scrap Yards and Melting Preparation
Steel scrap must be cut and sized into furnace-ready material before melting. Yufeng Hengda supplies shears, shredders and heavy scrap cutting systems to prepare steel scrap efficiently for scrap yards and melting operations.
Overview
Steel scrap arrives in many forms — heavy melting scrap (HMS), structural sections, plate offcuts, light steel and radiators. Before it can be melted efficiently, it usually needs to be cut and sized so it charges cleanly into a furnace.
Heavy and long material is typically processed with container shears or vertical shears, which deliver the cutting force needed for thick sections. Lighter steel scrap and radiators are often shredded to a consistent, handleable size.
Yufeng Hengda designs shears and shredders matched to your heaviest material and required throughput, and builds them through our manufacturing partners in China for steel recyclers and melting operations.

What this involves
Heavy scrap cutting
Container shears cut HMS, structural steel and long scrap into furnace-ready sizes.
Vertical shearing
Vertical shears provide reliable cutting of steel scrap in a compact installation.
Shredding
Shredders reduce lighter steel scrap and radiators to a consistent, handleable size.
Melting preparation
Consistent sizing supports efficient and safe furnace feeding.
