HMS Steel Scrap Shearing Applications
Overview
HMS steel scrap (Heavy Melting Steel) refers to ferrous scrap such as beams, plates, and industrial offcuts that are commonly used as raw material in steelmaking.
Before melting, these materials often need to be cut into standard furnace sizes for easy handling, storage, and charging.
TITAN steel scrap shear machines provide the ideal solution for processing HMS1 and HMS2 steel scrap — transforming oversized metal into furnace-ready pieces with maximum efficiency.
How TITAN Shears Process HMS Scrap
TITAN HMS shear machines use advanced hydraulic systems to cut thick steel scrap with powerful precision.
The process typically includes:
- Feeding: HMS scrap is loaded into the cutting chamber.
- Clamping & Cutting: Hydraulic blades exert up to 1000 tons of force to cut the scrap cleanly.
- Discharge: Processed pieces are released automatically for baling, stacking, or furnace loading.

This operation ensures uniform scrap sizes, minimizes oxidation loss during melting, and improves charging speed in the furnace.
Applicable Materials
- HMS1 & HMS2 scrap
- Rebar and structural steel
- Ship plate and heavy machinery scrap
- Steel beams, channels, and pipes
- Mixed ferrous scrap for melting
