Here the Jersey City Mega Shredder recycling factory cars confetti in seconds.
Once upon a time, someone entered the red sedan and felt pride when his engine for the first time.
Now, most probably after tens of thousands of miles and unwanted repairs, the car was just another offer last week in Jersey City mega mill.
Picked by a handler of a grizzled old iron mountain, the vehicle was placed on a treadmill He slightly forward with the rest of gnarled metal until, several stories high, he slipped down in the neck of the grinder mega here, out of sight, a hammer bank 1100 pounds, rotated by a rotor 100 tonnes, he received.
Ten seconds later violent, just over fist size pieces remained.
This is the end for hundreds of vehicles every day in Claremont Terminal, and countless other metal rebar refrigerators.
The mega mill yard can consume about 4,000 tons of assorted scrap per day, officials here say But ISN objective t simply crush objects of all obsolete days unrecognizable clumps Rather, the goal is to feed something with increased appetite a mega-shredder global commodities market.
Officials at Sims Metal Management, which has about 270 Claremont Terminal and other scrap yards worldwide, with a pride in their business as aboveground mining Recycling is at the heart of what they do, and about 4,000 tons scrap the mega shredder consumes each day emerges some 2 800 to 3 000 tonnes of steel, aluminum, copper, brass and a mishmash they call Zorba, according to Joe Payesko, CEO of Claremont Terminal and other regional facilities.
Enlarge Daniel Strechay, a spokesman for Sims Metal Management, is located next to a spare impeller mill mega company in Terminal Jersey City Claremont Michael Monday The Star-Ledger.
It comes in scrap, it leaves as a commodity, said Dan Strechay, a spokesman Sims.
And when he leaves, it is usually by ships in deep water mooring in the port Claremont shares with an exclusive gated community called Port Liberte and Liberty National Golf Course even more exclusive.
Landing ships overseas smelters About 90 percent of Claremont waste is the ocean linked Turkey is a big buyer, such as South Korea.
Strechay emphasizes the environmental aspect of what the scrap business he keeps reusable materials from landfills and offsets some of the environmental damage from mining for iron ore, but the bottom line is scrap also makes money matter nets between 370-390 gross tons when it's delivered to the country, said Payesko buyers overseas pay about the same.
And while there are significant challenges for the company Claremont managers must be agile to respond to falling commodity prices overall, the scrap is recession-proof, they say there is simply too much demand worldwide for new products, new buildings, new everything metal needs.
During a visit last week, the massive dump trucks barge workers were busy filling 20 tons at a time with a special blend, blend low copper content They had a few hours before a ship docked for a meal 27,000 tons, then going for a mill in Mexico.
Steel is like cooking Every manufacturing steel manufacturer has its own recipe, Strechay said as he walked in a valley between the mountains colored pieces of rust.
Part of what makes a Claremont Terminal crown jewel of the world empire Sims is that it is located on 83 acres along the Hudson River on clear days afford splendid views of the Statue of Liberty and Lower Manhattan.
All these lands gives ample space for its scrap yard instruments of destruction addition handlers, front-end loaders and dump trucks mammoth size, there is a guillotine mill that sheers metal into long strips that some skiers prefer There is a baler which put cubes on cans mounds.
And there is also the downstream processor, a massive mill extract more metal from materials such as insulated copper wiring that there a few years ago were destined for landfills Payesko believes that because of these processes, the court only loses 5 to January 3 percent of the metal into objects which have been discarded; it was ten years ago, the amount of the loss was closer to 30 percent.
Scrap comes to Claremont by a number of channels One is through the 14 satellites that breaks Sims operates in the area, including Newark Another is the peddler of court, at the entrance to Claremont, where people take to up in ramshackle trucks and vans and sell tons of broken toasters and refrigerators bum they searched sites ve construction and garbage collection routes.
Claremont also employs a commercial group to chase new opportunities scrap Such agreement was a contract with New York Metropolitan Transit Authority to shred decommissioned subway cars, said Payesko.
Sims has generated about $ 9 billion in revenue for its fiscal 2012, which ended last June Although the company does not disclose the profits of individual facilities, we know that it's our most productive institution in the world, Strechay said Claremont This single institution, if you broke up, would be in the top 25 largest scrap metal companies in the United States.
Much thanks to the mega shredder installed in 2007 at a cost of about 18 million machine 9000 horsepower is among the most powerful in service Claremont 275 workers, about 30 work on the mega mill in one of three shifts per day mill operates much overnight, when electricity is cheaper putting offline during the day also allows the necessary maintenance for every hour the mill is running, he needs an hour of repairs, Strechay said.
But it is not left Hurricane Sandy caused 4 million damage in Claremont, Payesko said, but the mill was operational again the current day has been restored to the factory He was then rewarded with a powerful meal Claremont received about 150 000 to 200 000 tonnes of additional scrap because of the storm.
A little history often go through Claremont Payesko smiled with pride as he recalled the 60,000 seats it shredded Giants Stadium after the wreck sank the Yankee Stadium that Sims handled, Payesko not saved a game of pepper sign.
Another great moment was the shred of The Gates, an often ridiculed art installation that for two weeks in 2005, covered Central Park in saffron-colored curtains.
After the scrap passes through the hammer mill, such as cheese through a grater crank magnets remove ferrous material, or substance containing iron and steel This river later last furriers who snatch little motors containing copper that steel mills can not handle.
Meanwhile, non-ferrous materials from aluminum and brass and to rubber foam obtained by truck out of the downstream processor for further refining.

Ensuring the whole process is the grinding pulpit.
A control room perched four stories above ground is inhabited by one worker.
Today, it is Jeff Colgan, a shift supervisor, he is sitting in a chair that Captain Kirk call home, with 10 screens in front of him Each of them has a different view of travel in and out of it mega shredder stands guard on two gauges to tell him how the machine is running, and uses a pair of joysticks to control the flow of waste two other screens data feed him.
A gentle cacophony filled the room, who constantly trembles under the sound of mega mill Colgan said it can take half a shift in the pulpit a bulletproof glass wall in front of him offer a view of the mouth of grinding mega vapor Billows continuously inflate as spraying tubes to prevent the machine from overheating or spitting metal dust.
So many metal disappears so quickly slipping by almost unnoticed, the red sedan heads for reincarnation.
