In recent months, Georgia has risen sharply scrap, while simultaneously reducing the quantity of despite the 50% increase in cost, scrap collectors claim that it is still not enough.
According to recent reports, 1 kg. of scrap metal at collection points is 38 tetri, Sami collectors pay wishing to sell unwanted metal product, pay 25 tetri. Collection points talk about the problems faced by this business in recent years.
As it turned out, most collectors have already ceased their activities as a company engaged in the collection and export of scrap metal have changed the profile and now on to something else.
Years go by, and stocks of scrap depleted. Just a few months ago scrap was to hand over on points of reception for 20 tetri, while the cost of 1 ton was 200 gel. This year, the situation has changed dramatically, and scrap have risen in price because of shortages.
According to the assemblers, compared to last year to find scrap metal has become more difficult, and this is immediately reflected in prices.
"The amount of scrap has decreased significantly. In the past year, we have a week in one district of Tbilisi could collect hundreds of pounds, but now everything has become much more difficult," they say.
The business is losing popularity, which many points of reception curtailed their activities.
According to the company "Georgia West management", it is now much more profitable to collect waste paper.
"We worked for many years in the business of collecting scrap metal. There were times when we got a good income, but in the last few months we had to change the profile, and we are now fully focused only on collection of waste paper. Despite the fact that the scrap has risen, to assemble it has become much harder. We decided it would be better to develop in a different direction than working at a loss," the company said.
One of the reasons for reducing the amount of scrap, a decline in the number of unusable appliances that the population is relegated to the scrap. In addition, the gradually depleted scrap from the Soviet times – the remains of industrial enterprises, improper equipment, unfinished and abandoned government facilities, etc.
In the 90-ies and the early 2000's scrap was the main export product of Georgia this is indicative not only of the extreme weakness and lack of development of the economy in that period, but also on a large number of scrap – mostly large enterprises of the Soviet period that were privatized, especially in order to sell them for scrap.
Scrap collectors claim that their business is threatened with extinction.
"We go from district to district, and so collect the scrap. Sometimes during the day you have to go around almost the whole of Tbilisi. And this is due to the cost, besides a lot, just the fuel for the car is worth. In fact, even in the best case, we earn money only for food. And even then not always. Basically we collect the unusable and outdated equipment, gas stoves, refrigerators, and other damaged items. We buy them for 25 tetri kilogram," say the builders.
According to them, early each day, they were able to collect a ton, and now even 500 kg – is a great success.
"Work without rest, without holidays, without Saturday and Sunday, but almost no income we have no choice. The business is on the verge of extinction, and probably will soon cease to exist. Many of those who were engaged in this business, get good profit, but now things are so bad that they walked away from this case," say the collectors of scrap.

What stands for “Made in China” today?

Dealers who sell equipment produced in EU or in USA usually blame Chinese equipment for poor quality.

Such dealers try to tar the reputation of suppliers who deal with Chinese manufacturers and present their equipment in bad light.

We meet such unfair competition every day. Many people in our country and all over the world still live with an obsolete prejudice that one cannot rely on Chinese products and Chinese brands. But care for quality of Chinese goods was relevant several decades ago. Everything is changed now.

So, what stands for “Made in China” in our time? 

We are the representative of Chinese manufacturer “Jiangsu Wanshida Hydraulic Machinery Co., Ltd.”, and aside with ready machinery (balers, shears, presses, etc) we supply spare parts for machines that were sold several years ago by other dealers.

Brand “Wanshida” is very popular in Ukraine, almost 500 pieces of different machinery have been sold since 2007. So, it is a huge market for spare parts, one can admit.

If we take an old attitude to Chinese products as products with a poor quality, so it can mean that there is an immense need in spare parts for these 500 units of equipment.

But, what we can see:

For the last year we have only sold the following amount of spare parts:

• Hydraulic pumps YCY series for balers and alligator shears – 5 pcs
• Pressure sensor for baler – 3 pcs
• Limit switch for alligator shear – 5 pcs
• Set of seal rings for balers – 2 pcs
• Knifes for alligator shears – 3 sets
• Oil filters – 3 pcs

We must add that we are the only company in Ukraine that sells spare parts for Wanshida equipment.

So, as you can see our spare parts business does not flourish. Users of Wanshida equipment do not order spare parts. It means they satisfy with their equipment. As to me, it is my dream to buy a car and not buy spare parts every 6 months. And Wanshida can do this dream for scrap recycling yards.

 Three words “Made in China” are not a guilty verdict any more. More and more people are relying on Chinese companies and Chinese products. And Chinese manufacturers pay them back, producing the machinery that can bring benefits to its users.

BALER Y83-250 IS A PERFECT SOLUTION FOR SMALL TRADERS

Several weeks ago we received an interesting enquiry from a new client from EU.

Client’s company is dealing with second-hand household equipment. She (the client actually was a business lady) sells used fridges, cookers, microwave machines, washers etc from Western and Northern Europe to Eastern Europe. She told us about her idea to compact the old fridges and sells as scrap to scrap dealers. The compacted or baled fridges take dramatically less place and save a pile of money.

We made a small experiment with old fridges and our Y83-250 baler that has pressing box 2000X1400X900 mm and pressing 250T. We specially took our large baler with large pressing chamber to put as much fridges as possible. The experiment showed excellent results: out of 6 pc of fridges it turned out a small bale (size 230X230X230) and weight of 180 kg.

The client found it very interesting! It is just what I was searching, she said.

It is first time when we work with clients who are not specialized in metal scrap sales, so it was a great challenge for us if we can offer a money saving solution. So, this time we think we succeed – because our first and main task is to assist our clients to earn money.

Recycling of passenger vehicles

A typical passenger vehicle consists of about 65% steel and iron.

Car bodies are made usually 25% of recycled steel. Car recycling industry is a huge market now. Some experts say that today it achieves 22 billion USD and 10 million vehicles for recycling annually. And there is still a lot of space for growth.

All over the world there are many companies that deal specifically with cars recycling. Also, many car producers have their own facilities to recycle old vehicles. For example, BMW group opened its Recycling and Dismantling center in 1994.  Using advanced technology they achieved a great success – almost 90% of car is recycled and reused.

So, what stands for this outstanding process?

First, the car gets drained of all the fluids (oil, petrol, brake fluid, etc), then there is a deactivation of airbags and belt tensioners, neutralization of battery and pyrotechnic components. The fluids and some vehicle parts go to special disposal plants, while the undamaged components can be sold as spare parts. Precious metals like platinum get recycled. Engines can be reconditioned.

Then the body of the vehicle is baled in special powerful baler-shear. These bales go to shredder plant then where they are cut into small pieces. But it still not the end – after shredding there comes a sorting process where metals are separated from plastic and other non-metal parts using magnets, eddy currents or screening.

Taking into account the increasing number of vehicles as well as an extending population on Earth that can buy a car, we can assert that car recycling industry is in its golden age. We must not also forget about environmental friendliness that is the motto of our life. And car recycling is the pivotal part of this green policy. Our company – Jiangsu Wanshida Hydraulic Machinery Co., Ltd can offer you a wide range of machinery that can support your business in car recycling. Our powerful balers, baler-shears and shredders can bring you a lot of benefit
