Scrap metal shredder
Okay kiddo, have you ever heard of recycling? It's when we take things we don't need anymore and turn them into something new instead of throwing them away. One way we do this is by using a machine called a scrap metal shredder.
Scrap metal is metal that is no longer needed, like old cars, appliances, and even buildings. When we put these things into a scrap metal shredder, it uses big strong blades to cut them up into really small pieces.
Why do we do this? Well, when the metal is in small pieces, it's easier to melt it down and turn it into something new. It's kind of like when you break up a chocolate bar into small pieces before you melt it to make chocolate chip cookies.
When we recycle metal, it helps the environment because we don't have to mine for new metal, which can be damaging to the earth. Plus, recycling metal saves energy and resources.
So, that's what a scrap metal shredder does. It cuts up old metal into small pieces so we can recycle it and make something new. Did that help you understand, kiddo?
