Processing

From scrap to secondary raw material.

At R Davies Metals & Sons Ltd, processing is at the heart of what we do. We don’t just move scrap from A to B — we use modern machinery and proven systems to transform waste into valuable, reusable resources.

Our Processing Capabilities

We operate from our Kingswinford base, where our site is equipped to handle everything from single-grade metals to large mixed loads. Our core processing services include:

Sorting & grading of ferrous and non-ferrous metals for accurate valuation.

Shearing, burning & baling to reduce volume and prepare materials for reuse.

Depollution systems for vehicles, batteries, and hazardous components.

Weighbridge services for certified weights and transparent payments.

Efficiency Through Technology

With a fleet of modern plant equipment and heavy-duty processing machinery, we streamline the scrap cycle:

1. Collection

Scrap delivered or collected from site.

2. Processing

Sorted, cut, shredded or baled to spec.

3. Output

Materials ready for UK resale or international export.

This efficiency means faster turnaround for our clients, maximum value recovery, and less waste to landfill.

Factory Clearance
