Scrap Metal Recycling Evolves Into a High-tech Process

摘要

Lindemann Maschinenfabrik GmbH, a venerable name in metals recycling but a new addition to the Svedala family, is leading the market in new equipment technologies for the age-old industry of metals recycling. Why is metals recycling important and vital? Manfred Adolph, product line manager for Lindemann, an industry leader in shredder technology, said that recycling is important because metal is a finite and valuable natural resource and, hence, needs to be recovered. Waste automobiles make up a large percentage of the metal waste stream, and each automobile consists roughly of 65% steel and iron, 14% plastic and 16% glass.
