Steel turnings, borings, punchings and stampings.

## What we accept

Steel turnings, borings, punchings and stampings. Material is weighed and graded on arrival at our yard in Mina Abdallah.

## A working shop produces them continuously

Turnings, borings, punchings and stampings arise while a line is running rather than at the end of a job. Collection can be arranged against that rhythm.

## What comes with them decides the grade

Turnings carry cutting oil, coolant and fines. How much comes with the load affects what it grades at, so loads are assessed on arrival rather than quoted blind.

## Oil and moisture

Turnings and borings carry cutting oil and coolant. Free oil is drained before weighing, because a wet load weighs more than the steel in it and is deducted accordingly.

## Swarf against punchings

Swarf is light, tangled and low in density, and is often crushed or briquetted before it will load. Punchings and stampings are solid and charge straight, so the two are kept apart.

## From the yard to the port

Five stages, handled by us, in the order they happen.

### 01 Grading and preparation

Material is sorted and graded, then cut, sheared or baled to the size the buyer specifies.

### 02 Weighing

Every load is weighed and a weight ticket is issued against it, recording gross, tare and net.

### 03 Inspection

A lot may be inspected at the yard by arrangement. Photographs and weights of a specific lot are provided on request.

### 04 Container loading

Sorted material is loaded to container at the yard, grade by grade rather than mixed.

### 05 Documentation and shipment

Paperwork is handled from the yard through to the port, and the shipment leaves through Shuaiba or Shuwaikh.
