Im sure the startu was expensive as Hell, but there is so little preprocessing. One presumes flammable fluids are removed, freon, etc. Then smush them a little so thet'll fit in the hopper. WOuld like to see the separation operation. Great vid...
They have the worlds biggest shredder in Wales It shreds complete cars into small shrapnel which must be loaded onto huge ships in 72 hours The shrapnel is processed into new cars and appliances in China
What's the added value of car shredding like this? In general cars are taken out engine blocks and some other non-steel parts and than compacted in a press. After that they go in the blast furnace. Isn't this shredding a spoiling of energy?
@@kansasthunderman1 For sure one can do better materials separation after shredding. But the shredding process needs huge amounts of energy and does have high maintenance costs. And where do the very mixed plastic and rubber fractions go to after? In the classic non shredding process these materials serve as an additional fuel source in the blast furnace. For one can not separate all foreign matter by shredding (for example the car paint), all up-to-date blast furnaces have by definition exhaust filters to cope with the potential toxic gasses created by the "polluted" steel source. These filters can easily take care of some extra pollution. I still wander about the added value.
@@tuttebelleke In the U.S., car shredding is done with "Hammermills" which use a combination of direct impact and another phenomenon called "interactive abrasion" to shred and "scrub" the metal of any deposits like paint and undercoating. Most hammermill shredders have a rotor which creates a turbulent vortex like a tornado where the metal swirls around and cuts rubber and plastics. The nonmetallic debris is removed by large vacuum cleaners and the steel and nonferrous metals are then removed by magnetic separation. The final output of a shredding plant is typically about 95% pure metal without any contamination and ready to go to the electric arc furnace. Hammermill shredders also have a very high production rate and a 6000 horsepower machine can process over 300 cars per hour. Despite the huge energy consumption, shredding plants produce steel and aluminum scrap at the lowest cost per ton than any other method of processing. In fact, all scrap metal processing techniques are engineered using cost-per-ton as the metric of performance and mathematical models of the shredding process have also been developed to predict how parameters such as rotor diameter and RPM affect the throughput of the machine. For more information about how these shredding plants work, do a search for "Scott Alton Newell" who is the son of the original inventor of the car shredder in the 1960s. Newell has written many technical papers on how the shredding process works.
@@kansasthunderman1 Thanks for your reply. I couldn't find a hammermill shredder where entire cars are fed in? So the hammermill shredder comes after the classic shredder, I suppose? If yes, one has to calculate the recycling costs with 2 shredders?
Unibody cars or build with no frame thin sheet metal light as possible. Has problem with the aluminum engine. Put a older 60 sedan with full iron frame & steel engine. We might see a lock up.
I remember once in car the park stopped behind cars waiting for a car to back in and right window 3-4 feet next to a wood chipper going full rpm blast. And this idiot guy throw in a cut 1-1/2 foot x 1 foot stump. I was wtf. That gear is going to emplode right next to me. It kept chewing it round then both top and bottom open up 1 foot and it swallowed it without it shredding it. What a great good surprise. You never want to be that close to a steel gearing& high rpm doing 10,000 rpm and a big log ,something going to give.
It is working good but, what if you had a rust free 1965 ford station wagon in it ,I bet it would have stop to unjam it’s self. Real steel !!! Not these unibody tin can
At one time everyone of the cars were brand new and the pride and joy of someone.
Not no more!
I know quite a lot of people I would like to stick into this machine
This is the best shredder I've ever seen. Others only smash the car hiting until they break it. Great eficiency for this machine.
I like the machines that run slow and never stall.
There is something oddly satisfying about this.
I love that crunching sound
That is a massive shredder! Eats cars like a kid eats candy.
Best one I've seen
That shredder rules!!

WOuld like to see the separation operation. Great vid...
Electricity the real power behind all of chrushing and grinding.

Hammer shredder is faster
2:30 nice to see a Volvo going down there!
So satisfying! Love these videos
Awesome!
Slow and steady wins the race...
I'm getting one of these for my parking lot! Go ahead and ignore the no parking signs!!
I wonder how many horsepower runs that thing. Scary is what that is!
Impressive.
One of the wheels are slipping. Its noticeable sometimes. Theres a lot of power being used in this operation.
Wow. It keeps going and going. Destroying and destroying. Like my ex wife.....
lmao, good one!!!
Best machine
Impressive
A TORQUE monster 👹🚗!!
Io starei ore e ore a guardare......mi piace troppo!
Totally and utterly crushed
Damn, having to be the one to sharpen those grinder edge tips has gotta be a bitch.
"I just came in for a flat tire repair"
I just came
Wow! Entire cars-less engine, gearbox and wheels.Wow!
Nope, engines go straight through...np
It's just wonderful.
*WOW HD!*
Looks like the rotors turn at differing speed.
I like this power

Nope. Shredding allows the metals to be magnetically separated from the non-metal like plastics and rubber.

Essa máquina é boa!
YUM YUM Boy this tastes good. LOL
I'd hate to get my foot stuck in there
Bullshit! Your foot would jammed that crushing Zato machinery 😊👍
Ok, where is my Porsche that I have parked in front of this place?

but there was millions of cars less in the 1960`s that needed shredding / scrapping.. maybe the next 60 years time there will be no cars

You never want to be that close to a steel gearing& high rpm doing 10,000 rpm and a big log ,something going to give.
Whats the ratio on that gearbox, my goodness!!!!
I believe it's driven by a hydrostatic transmission instead of a gear reduction.
Holly ____!!
I bet they have several of these in Russia
That's what your body does, if you fast for more than 3 days....(Autophagy)...
They all go to the same place cause that's all their worth !
click like if you would jump in the shredder
Feed me!!!
Showing one car being shredded would have been sufficient.
So just watch one. Kind of mesmerizing watching a few cars go down the old porcelain convenience...
It is working good but, what if you had a rust free 1965 ford station wagon in it ,I bet it would have stop to unjam it’s self. Real steel !!! Not these unibody tin can
Military grade steel like a tank would stop it or Jimmy Hoffa.
Imagine one running at high rpm's , lol
Their Not entire cars, there's no motors in them. Click Bait Warning !
Except for the Volvo which has its engine...
0:30. “It’s in the hole”
NO engine in the cars!
You can see an engine bouncing around at 1:15 I think.
@@ottopartz1 You right, i am sorry
I want to see it eat a Cadillac.
NO! That's MY CAR a CTS Sport!
Throw Pelosi, Crooked, Waters, and Dingy Cortez in there, in fact, just dump the whole Demorat party in there.
Way too slow, time to buy a hammer mill.
These are a lot less maintenance than a hammer mill
Think of the cars as men and the shredder as Feminism.
Haveyougotarearlightclusterfor, arryohavegreat!
Very inefficient way. The jaws should be wide apart.
Are you kidding. You think you know more than the engineers that built this thing?
The scissor action where the rotors come together is the magic.
