    Hammel Red Giant

    have a look at this bit of gear - a big machine for recyling engine blocks

    a bit of a write up as well, pretty impressive.

    I got the idea after 10 seconds
    A machine like that beat me to about 2 years redgum firewood. They were lying in a paddock - approx 4 foot dia but the stumps were about 8 foot dia. They were 200 year old stumps - huge
    The developer said to help myself but when I got there this monster muncher had turned em to sawdust.

    I like the one at a scrap metal exporters yard. They drop flattened cars into it and it shreds them into pieces about 80mm square. Another impressive machine I saw in the USA was a truck mounted vacuum cleaner powered by a 6-71N Detroit Diesel. It was being used to suck up a semi-trailer load of concrete blocks spilled on a freeway in a multi truck accident.

    The machine Sims use not only produces shredded steel, but sorts and separates all the other material in a car, ie alloy, plastic, cloth et al.
