Scrap recycling is a key component of the circular economy, and the type of tools and machinery selected for collection plays a crucial role in optimising this process. Among the most notable technological innovations are electrohydraulic orange peel grabs, used in recycling plants to collect large volumes of scrap at once. These grabs enhance collection efficiency and increase safety for the environment and workers.

Types of Scrap That an Electrohydraulic Orange Peel Grab Can Handle
Ferrous Scrap
Ferrous scrap comes from iron materials such as steel and cast iron and represents one of the most recycled fractions in the industrial sector. This category includes everyday waste materials such as structural beams, pipes, decommissioned machinery, vehicle chassis, and metal construction debris. Due to their weight and volume, electrohydraulic orange peel grabs are essential for streamlining their handling and ensuring efficient loading onto trucks or conveyor belts within recycling plants.
Non-Ferrous Scrap
Unlike ferrous scrap, non-ferrous scrap consists of metals that do not contain iron, making them corrosion-resistant and highly valuable in the recycling market. This category includes aluminium, copper, brass, lead, and zinc, often found in pipes, radiators, electrical cables, and automotive components. Electrohydraulic orange peel grabs with specialised tines for this type of scrap enable handling lighter and fragmented materials without wasting resources or causing cross-contamination.
Demolition Waste
Construction and demolition projects generate large amounts of metallic waste mixed with other materials like concrete, wood, and plastics. Thanks to their various grab configurations, these machines can collect everything from large steel structures to small reinforcement pieces, optimising recycling operations in this sector.
Electronic Scrap
The technology sector's rapid growth has led to an increase in electronic scrap, which consists of obsolete devices and components such as circuit boards, equipment casings, connectors, and cables. These materials contain a combination of valuable metals like copper, silver, and gold, making them a vital recycling resource. Electrohydraulic orange peel grabs are crucial for collecting and handling large volumes of these wastes, preventing them from ending up in landfills and promoting a more sustainable approach to electronic waste management.
Foundry Waste
Foundry waste, such as metal slags and mould residues, must be handled safely and efficiently for reuse or disposal. Because these pieces are often heavy and irregularly shaped, electrohydraulic orange peel grabs are the best solution. With their power and precision, these machines ensure quick and safe collection, optimising foundries' recycling processes and reducing industrial waste's environmental impact.
Heavy Industrial Waste
Industrial plants generate large amounts of scrap from worn-out machinery, obsolete metal structures, and disused components. These waste materials can be bulky and difficult to handle without the right equipment. Electrohydraulic orange peel grabs, with their robust design and high load capacity, allow for efficient collection of these materials, ensuring a faster recycling process and reducing the risk of workplace accidents.
Stemm's Electrohydraulic Orange Peel Grabs: Specialized Solutions for Bulk Material Collection
At Stemm, we offer a range of electrohydraulic orange peel grabs designed to provide tailored solutions for each customer's needs. Our models handle everything from light materials to heavy-duty scrap, featuring designs that maximise productivity and operational efficiency.
The PH-0.9 model is ideal for handling light metal scrap, municipal solid waste (MSW), garbage, and biomass. The PHA-1.4 handles wood, branches, trees, stones, sludge, and floating debris. The PH-3 is perfect for medium and mixed scrap, including fragmented grade 1-2 scrap and industrial waste. The PH-3.5 is highly effective for managing heavier scrap, such as structural scrap, pig iron, pellets, and heavy industrial waste. Additionally, the PHR-2.5, with its rectangular section, is ideal for processing medium, mixed scrap and industrial waste.
These electrohydraulic orange peel grabs offer exceptional flexibility and are essential for optimising waste management, improving productivity in recycling plants, and ensuring the efficient handling of diverse materials.
Their versatility and high adaptability guarantee smooth, cost-effective, and efficient operations, allowing companies to enhance their scrap recycling and material handling performance.
