SHARJAH, 20th February, 2014 (WAM) -- Bee?ah today announced its most advanced facility in waste management, the world?s most powerful machine for shredding cars and scrap metal. The facility is considered to be part of a Bee?ah?s complete waste management solution.
The car recycling service is considered to be the first of its kind in the U.A.E., representing an environmentally-friendly way to dispose of cars while extracting valuable materials. "Car recycling helps both people and companies to grow, by contributing to saving the environment and its resources," said Khaled Al Huraimel, Group CEO, Bee?ah. "Additionally, it returns materials back into the economy cycle."The machine, known as the ?Red Giant?, is considered to be the perfect solution for dealing with tough materials ? such as car bodies ? in large volume. The 44-ton Red Giant is fast and efficient, with tracks to allow for mobility around Bee?ah?s facility. Bee?ah?s car shredding and recycling facility processes cars and light metal scrap, separating and reclaiming unique metals, glass and plastic. It is also capable of processing wood, plastic, trees, solid building materials, and iron and non-iron metals of widths up to 120mm. It takes just 50-60 seconds for the facility to completely process a car.

Recycling becomes increasingly important as our society?s increased production and consumption rates rise. Advanced ways to sort quality material from waste are necessary to ensure the value of industries that use recycled materials, especially since the increasing demand for recycled materials requires us to look for and implement the latest technologies.
