Project Description

SMS is a non-ferrous scrap metal processing facility that processes approximately 1900 tons of scrap metal per year. This project provided the funds needed for SMS to purchase a LINDER URRAKO 95-DK shredder. The timing of this purchase was advantageous for SMS as all other options had multi-month lead times.
