Scrap Yard Machinery for Baling, Cutting and Shredding Metal Scrap
Scrap yards need reliable machinery to bale, cut and shred incoming material into consistent, saleable formats. Yufeng Hengda designs and supplies balers, shears, shredders and conveyors suited to your material mix and throughput.
Overview
A working scrap yard handles a constantly changing mix of ferrous and non-ferrous material, from light aluminium and copper through to heavy structural steel. The right combination of baling, shearing and shredding equipment turns that mixed intake into clean, consistent, saleable products.
Choosing scrap yard machinery starts with your material profile and target throughput. Lighter non-ferrous scrap is typically baled or shredded, while heavy melting scrap and structural steel are cut with container or vertical shears before sale or melting.
Yufeng Hengda helps buyers plan a coherent yard layout — matching each machine to the material it will process most often. We design the equipment, build it through our manufacturing partners in China and deliver it ready for your operation.

What this involves
Baling
Hydraulic scrap balers compress loose material into dense bales for efficient storage, transport and sale.
Cutting and shearing
Container shears and vertical shears cut heavy and long scrap into furnace-ready sizes.
Shredding
Metal shredders reduce scrap to a consistent size to support sorting and density improvement.
Material handling
Conveyors and feeding equipment can be coordinated to support a continuous yard workflow.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most yards combine a hydraulic scrap baler for loose non-ferrous material, a container or vertical shear for heavy and long steel scrap, and a metal shredder for size reduction before sorting. The exact mix depends on your material profile and throughput.
