METALS-RECYCLING TERMINAL The terminal, which is operated by Sims Group UK – part of the Australian international metalsrecycling company – is equipped with the world’s largest industrial shredder, capable of processing 450 end-of-life vehicles an hour. A brand-new gantry crane will ensure the facility has one of the fastest ship-loading rates for a metals-recycling terminal anywhere in Europe. The heart of the metals-recycling terminal is the giant, 9,200 HP metal-shredding plant which can process 350 tonnes of metal an hour. A new railfreight facility will handle in excess of 60,000 tonnes of scrap metal each year, saving the equivalent of nearly 52,174 lorry trips, or almost seven million road miles, over 10 years
