Skeleton Plate & Clip

 Many scrap yards today continue feeding clean, new production scrap—like clips, skeletons, and unpainted prime steel—through their auto shredder, hammermills without considering today’s market pricing dynamics. While hammermills have their place, relying solely on them could mean you're leaving serious profit on the table. 

Compared to other alternatives, such as shearing: the Wolf 9500 produces significantly more tonnage / hour.

Upgrade Your New Production Scrap 

Premium, free flowing busheling

This is a huge differentiator for a Wolf 9500. This mobile piece of equipment will burn roughly 15 gallons per hour of diesel (electric options available) and costs about $20 / hour to own and operate.

Having this option available to process your clean, prime scrap separately from the rest of your shredder feed to make a more premium busheling product vs. a frag shred and simultaneously cutting processing costs. It is a win-win.

General Differences and Explanations Between Prices of Busheling and Shredded Scrap (ISRI 211, Frag)

This video from Fastmarkets does a great job explaining the price gap we usually see between shredded steel (frag) and busheling. It details the yield differences at the mill and why busheling typically demands a premium.  

To take advantage of this spread, you need an alternative to a hammermill. Ideally, something that has a lower cost to own and operate so you can take advantage of the higher priced busheling while driving down your processing costs. The Wolf 9500 DT provides a mobile, cost effective solution.

Why Wolf?

Our Wolf Metal Shredders are built for high-output efficiency—capable of producing No. 1 busheling at up to 35 tons per hour, while requiring a fraction of the maintenance that traditional hammermills demand.

Stop spending more to produce lower-value material. Add a Wolf 9500 mobile shredder to your operation, so you can produce high-value busheling for a fraction of the cost of operating a hammermill.

Our Wolf 9500's have the additional benefits of a much lower front end capital cost and requiring no prior infrastructure such as foundations or power to the site. Our Wolf shredders are 100% self contained and drive off the truck ready to shred from day 1.

Improve your Scrap Metal Recycling Operation's Profitability.

Turning clean, prime scrap into No. 1 busheling—rather than a lower-priced shred—translates directly into higher-value output and improved profitability. By using a dedicated twin shaft metal shredder like the Wolf, operators can reduce wear and tear on their hammermills, produce a higher-value output, and streamline production.

With ferrous scrap prices currently favoring busheling, this approach allows yards to capitalize on stronger margins with reduced costs and higher market prices. These high-performance twin-shaft shredders can handle up to 35 tons per hour, delivering the kind of throughput and reliability that modern scrap metal recycling operations demand.
