R310 RDF – at the scrap yard

The car drove like a dream to the scrap yard in Newport. Simms Metals is a huge place with the biggest 'frag' plant, or shredder in the world. Simms could not have been more helpful. I filmed them de-polute the car and stip it down ready for fragging. They then stopped all their work on the frag plant and cleared the whole machine so we could process the car and collect all the metal. Once the car began making it's way up the conveyor to the shredder, it took a matter of minutes before it was comming out the other end in little pieces. In total the Mondeo was converted into 680kgs of ferrous metal.
