Zato joined Scrap Expo for the 5th year in a row — which took place September 16–17 — in the heart of the midwest, Louisville, Kentucky!
We found ourselves at booth 516, ready to show you the results of top-tier engineering: Our lineup featured a full range of metal recycling machines built to handle any shredding challenge — from the powerful Blue Devil twin-shaft shredders to our high-efficiency Blue Shark hammermills, and we also highlighted fully integrated systems — compact, synergized setups made of multiple machines working together to boost productivity and throughput.
