Full-Service Refurbishment Restores a 1,250-Ton
Scrap Shear to Peak Performance
Belgian Scrap Terminal (BST) is one of Europe’s leading metal recycling companies, supplying high-quality recycled raw materials to steel and non-ferrous industries worldwide. To maintain maximum productivity and operational reliability, BST partnered with LINDEMANN on a comprehensive overhaul project for its 1,250-ton scrap shear.

The Challenge

Installed in 1993, the scrap shear had served as a critical production asset for decades. After years of intensive operation, key machine components required refurbishment to maintain performance, reduce downtime and ensure long-term reliability.

BST needed a solution that would:

  • Minimize production interruptions
  • Integrate modern technology upgrades

The Solution

LINDEMANN developed a comprehensive refurbishment program combining:

  • Original spare parts supply
  • Onsite service expertise
  • Component refurbishment at the LINDEMANN Repair Center in Düsseldorf

The project included the repair and modernization of:

  • Shear piston
  • Stamper piston
  • Press lid
  • Side cylinder
  • Main pusher cylinder
  • 16.5-ton blade slide

The Results

The result was a fully refurbished machine upgraded with modern technology and engineering improvements.

  • Extended machine lifetime
  • Increased equipment availability
  • Reduced downtime
  • Modernized critical components
  • Improved operational reliability
  • Long-term investment protection

Key Benefits at a Glance

The overhaul project successfully restored the shear’s performance while extending its operational life for many years to come.

  • Refurbishment of a 1,250-ton scrap shear
