THE REAL COST OF PINS

Pin changes kill production.
We build pins that change less often.

18–40
hours of downtime

per pin change on a typical auto shredder. That’s lost revenue, not just labor.

FROM MILL TO SHREDDER

How we turn American steel into pins that last.

01
Steel Selection

We source specific grades from domestic mills chosen for high-impact toughness and wear resistance in shredder environments.

02
Precision Machining

CNC turning and milling to tight tolerances on diameter, straightness, and surface finish. Every pin is made to your rotor.

03
Heat Treatment

Custom quench and temper cycles developed over years. Hard enough to resist wear, tough enough to survive the shocks.

04
Testing & QC

Dimensional inspection, hardness verification, and visual stress checks. We ship only what we would put in our own shredder.

We don’t sell commodity pins. We sell uptime.
