The industrial scrap metal recycling market in Brazil has grown rapidly in recent years, with increasing scrap volumes. For many small and medium-sized plants, aging equipment, insufficient shear force, and spare parts scarcity are common challenges. Our client, a scrap recycling plant in São Paulo, processes 5-8 tons of steel, aluminum, and copper scrap daily. Their existing shearing machines had rapid blade wear, low operational efficiency, and certain safety risks, limiting productivity.
