Our scrap company provides the means for our clients to get steel
mill pricing, less the service fee. Our scrap company is made up
of two divisions.
Shapiro Brothers is one of the few scrap companies
in the Saint Louis metro area that has all three major
pieces of scrap processing equipment.
We are equipped with a 450 (three-125hp) horsepower shear
that can process materials such as I-beam structural shapes,
heavy plate, and re-bar to name a few.
We are also equipped with a 24" by 36" variable
baler that makes a true three compression bundle with
a weight of up to 3000 pounds. Our baler is unique from
most of the competetors.
With a third compression ram that is over 36 inches in
diameter, our baler makes compressed metals to meet the
demands of the steel mill.
Shapiro Brothers also has a 3500 horsepower, computer
control shredder with a separation system that automatically
separates the non-ferrous material out of the fluff and
in less than a minute can pulverize a complete automobile
(minus fuel tanks, battery, and mercury switches) into
pieces no larger than a tennis ball.
