Special Melting Scrap

Blue Steel (BLST)

This grade conforms to ISRI 229/230/231/232/234 and includes cut pieces generated from fabrication units; cut pieces of new D-Bars from cut & bend units and cut pieces of other items like Billets, Bloom, structural steel, plates, stampings, forgings, etc. It arises only from steel industries and/or fabricators or construction sites. All these material should be un-used and must be in the colour of freshly produced steel. Some quantity with light atmospheric surface rust is permissible. Acceptable size of this material is 1.5 mtr X 1.0 mtr, but the thickness will be minimum of 6mm and above. Minimum weight of the container will be 25 tons. In international parlance, this is also known as “NEW PRODUCTION SCRAP” OR “BONUS GRADE SCRAP”. Minimum cargo mass of a 20 feet container will be 25 tons.


Plates & Structurals (PANS)

This grade conforms to ISRI 236/237/238 and mainly consists of 6 mm thick structural steel profiles like H-beams, angles, I-beams, pipes, piling sheets, merchant bars and such other heavy material. The size of this material will be generally 1500 mm x 1000 mm and cargo mass will yield a weight of atleast 25 tons in a 20 feet container due to the sheer heavy density of the material.


Shredded Scrap (SSTF)

Most of the steel re-melting units across the world know shredded scrap as the most wanted input for re-melting. Old automobiles, white goods, household scrap and such other light metal is put through giant shredders so as to tear apart the big pieces by shredding into smaller pieces no more than 6 inches or 15 cms x 15 cms. This scrap metal is homogenous and very high in density. Globally most of the shredding units produce this scrap metal conforming to ISRI Grade 210/211. Based on the density achieved per cu.ft., this grade can yield a cargo mass of 25 to 28 tons in a 20 feet container.
