Recycling facilities work under relentless conditions: abrasive materials, metallic debris, repeated shocks, and non-stop operation. To stay productive, equipment needs steel that resists both friction and impact — every hour, every load.
This is exactly where QUARD proves its value.
Thanks to its high hardness — up to 550 HB, it delivers exceptional wear resistance in demanding environments where standard steels fail early. Designed for durability, it helps reduce maintenance, extend equipment life, and keep recycling lines moving.
In the recycling industry, uptime is everything — and QUARD is designed to last.
From shredder to compactor, QUARD keeps your machines running reliably — even when the materials they process are harsh, abrasive, or unpredictable.
From industrial waste and scrap metal to construction debris and municipal materials, recycling processes involve unpredictable input and extreme wear.
QUARD is particularly well suited for:
Compared to conventional steel grades, QUARD provides:
Reliable wear performance, even in applications with high shock cycles
To meet the varied requirements of recycling equipment — from compact crushers to large transfer bins — QUARD is available in a full dimensional range:
This flexibility helps optimise production and reduce waste:
For recycling equipment that combines complex geometry with high wear intensity, QUARD PRO offers the best of both worlds:
QUARD PRO is ideal for manufacturers who need to:
QUARD and QUEND prove their value well beyond recycling, serving a wide spectrum of industries such as:
