HMS 1 (Heavy Melting Scrap 1)

HMS 1 refers to heavy steel scrap that is generally clean, free from contaminants, and typically made up of steel plates, structural steel, and rail tracks. It is one of the most sought-after scrap metals due to its quality and ease of recycling.

Quality:

  • Clean, uncoated, and free from contaminants
  • No painted or coated materials
  • May contain small amounts of non-ferrous metals
  • Iron and steel content: 98% or higher
  • Possible elements: Carbon, iron, small amounts of manganese, phosphorus, and sulphur

Container for Import:
HMS 1 scrap can be loaded into 20-foot shipping containers for transit. It is typically shipped in bulk if the volume is large.

Transit Details from Dubai, Italy, US, Canada:

  • Dubai: Shipments from Dubai can be processed through the Jebel Ali Port. Transport can take 10–15 days based on the shipping route.
  • Italy: Shipments from Italian ports like Genoa or La Spezia can take around 10–25 days, depending on the destination port in India.
  • US: Common transit points are New York, Miami, or Los Angeles. Shipments usually take 30–45 days.

HMS 1 & 2 (Heavy Melting Scrap 1 and 2)

HMS 1 & 2 is a mix of high-quality heavy scrap (HMS 1) and slightly lower-grade scrap (HMS 2). HMS 2 can include materials like steel cuttings, machine shop turnings, and other industrial scrap that may contain contaminants but is still largely metallic and recyclable.

Quality:

  • HMS 1: High-quality scrap, as described above.
  • HMS 2: Slightly more contaminated than HMS 1, including some painted, rusted, or coated materials.
  • Iron and steel content: Typically, 85–95% for HMS 2.
  • Possible elements: Iron, carbon, manganese, aluminium, small quantities of non-ferrous metals.

Container for Import:
The mix can be loaded into 20-foot or 40-foot containers depending on the volume. If the material is highly contaminated, it may be transported in bulk cargo for ease of handling and separation.
