Scraps › HMS 1 & 2

Product Overview

Heavy melting steel scrap is the workhorse feedstock of the steel industry. HMS 1 is clean, thick wrought-iron and steel scrap free of light or coated material, while HMS 2 includes thinner black and galvanised steel. We supply the two grades separately or in the standard 80:20 blend, cut to furnace-charge dimensions and sorted to remove non-ferrous and non-metallic contamination.

Loads are prepared to a buyer’s ratio, size and cleanliness specification and shipped containerised or as break-bulk for larger tonnage.

Applications

HMS 1 & 2 is charged into electric-arc and induction furnaces to produce billets, reinforcement bars, sections and cast products, forming the backbone of secondary steel production and construction supply.

Packaging & Loading

Scrap is cut to size and loaded loose into 20ft/40ft containers or shipped break-bulk for bulk tonnage. Net weights are confirmed by weighbridge and on the proforma invoice, with loading supervised for weight and condition.

Quality & Compliance

Each consignment is sorted and inspected for grade, size and contamination, with weighbridge tickets and SGS quantity and quality verification available. Certificate of origin and export documentation accompany every shipment.

Export Markets

We export HMS 1 & 2 steel scrap to mills and foundries in Asia, the UAE and beyond through Mombasa and Dar es Salaam, handling trial containers and bulk contracts.

Preparation & Metal Recovery

Clean, well-prepared feedstock is what smelters and mills pay a premium for, so every load is sorted to remove contaminants and cut to the size and grade the buyer specifies. Careful preparation improves metal recovery, protects furnace efficiency and keeps downstream processing costs down — the details that matter when margins are tight and volumes are large.

Consistency is backed by process. Material is weighed on a certified weighbridge, documented, and where required verified by an independent inspector before it leaves origin, so tonnage and quality are confirmed on both sides. This discipline is why buyers trust us with repeat contracts rather than one-off spot deals.

Logistics & Long-Term Partnership

We manage the full chain from yard to vessel, coordinating loading and shipment from the ports of Mombasa and Dar es Salaam and keeping you informed at every stage. Whether you take a single container of HMS 1 & 2 or a recurring monthly tonnage, we structure pricing, payment and delivery around your production schedule and cash-flow needs.
