Recycling of junk cars has a great impact on our environment, economy and more; A totally positive impact. There are many advantages of recycling junk cars, most of which involve steel. Read on to know why it is important to recycle steel in junk cars and how you can personally contribute to this wonderful initiative.

Most vehicles are predominantly steel

Most vehicles are manufactured in steel because it is a highly durable, strong and reliable metal. It can not only protect drivers and passengers, it can be recycled and reused again and again. In fact, most of the steel is made up of existing steel materials, which works wonders to preserve our natural resources, save energy and reduce the harmful emissions produced by the metal refining factories. According to the Recycling Institute of Steel (SRI), “single-ton recycling preserves 2500 pounds of iron ore, 1400 pounds of coal, and 120 pounds of limestone. “Recycling Steel in Junk Cars20d7ec0500

The vehicles, on average, are 60% steel and iron. The only shell is 25% of the total amount of steel in a car or truck, on average. This includes the quarter panels, the trunk, the hood and the doors. In addition, the internal parts and metal components are recycled for steel, such as automotive parts, gaskets, printed circuits and more.

Recycling Steel

Motor vehicles are among the most frequently recycled consumer products in the country. Regardless of who owned them or what happened to them, virtually all cars end up in the process of recycling. According to the Steel Recycling Institute (SRI), more than 14 million tonnes of steel cars are recycled every year. This can be argued as a recycling rate of 100% among vehicles that are no longer suitable for the road!

Process Rescue Junk Car

The process of recycling junk cars, though not too complicated, requires a fleet of highly specialized equipment and technology. Most metal reprocessing centers will begin to drain the vehicle from any remaining liquid to remain within environmentally responsible recycling practices. These fluids include transmission fluid, brake fluid, power steering fluid, wiper fluid, radiator fluid, battery fluid and engine oil. They will then begin to disassemble the vehicle of all its reusable parts, such as wheels, rims, headlights, doors, windows, mudguards, bumpers, trunk covers, stereo and any part of the car working or repairable.

After a vehicle is finished with the drainage and disassembly process, all that remains are the scattered hulks. This is generally crushed in an industrial metal crusher, which is a huge and innovative machine that can crush large hulks to fist sized pieces in less than 45 seconds. These parts are a collection of steel, non-metallic metals and fluff (non-reusable tires, plastics, glass, etc.). A large magnetic grader is used to separate steel and iron parts from the rest of the crushing material, which are then shipped across the country to various metal buyers, reworked and steelworks.
