Scrap Expo to feature Sierra, Company Wrench presentations

Scrap dealers, demolition contractors and auto dismantlers who cut and bale scrap metal will receive updates on those processing techniques at the Scrap Expo equipment demonstration and display event, being held Sept. 13-14 at the Kentucky Exposition Center in Louisville, Kentucky.

On Tuesday, Sept. 13, Lead Technician Ricardo Diaz of California-based Sierra International Equipment will provide insight into making dense bales, tight logs or solid hulks with baler/loggers and car flatteners.

The workshop has been designed to provide operators with the insights needed to perform basic maintenance that ensures peak performance from their machines, covering all makes and models, says the Recycling Today Media Group, organizer of the expo.

Or on Tuesday afternoon, Scrap Expo attendees can sit in on a presentation from Bill Abraham, a territory manager with Ohio-based Company Wrench. Abraham will discuss matching the best attachment for the job to help increase productivity in scrap processing applications.

On Wednesday, Sept. 14, additional equipment-related presentations will be made, including a second one by Diaz on two-ram baler maintenance; Constantino Lannes and Daniel Jacome of North Carolina-based Sennebogen LLC will examine material handler applications; and Gordon Driscoll of New York-based GreenSpark Software will provide insight into assessing software options in the scrap sector.

At the event, attendees shopping for equipment will, in some cases, be able to try out machinery before buying it. Unprocessed scrap metal is being brought onto the site so prospective buyers of material handlers, loaders, shears, loggers and end-of-life vehicle depollution equipment can see and feel how the equipment operates.

The live demo area at Scrap Expo will feature many makes and models of scrap machinery that can be tested out by potential buyers, according to Recycling Today.

The list of exhibiting companies, which stands at 47 as of late August, can be found here.

The two-day event also features equipment maintenance and scrap commodity informational sessions, and live recordings of industry podcasts. The schedule for those activities can be found here.
