Shredder grating with extended service life

The grates are used for aluminium cans recycling.

Originally the grates were cut / fabricated from astralloy V plate. At that time the grates were not hardfaced and overlayed with tungsten carbide. The grates have been redesigned to be cut from

Hardox 450 steel plate and hardfaced with complex carbide overlay.
