Claims18
A method for bending elongated metallic scrap into a more compact form, comprising
- providing a bending machine which comprises a forming apparatus and a driving device for operating the forming apparatus, said forming apparatus comprising at least two separate bending members located substantially adjacent to each other during bending, wherein at least one bending member is movable and adapted to be guided to a second position that is substantially different from its position during bending of the metallic scrap to permit the removal of the bent metallic scrap,
- placing metallic scrap between the bending members, and
- bending said metallic scrap substantially around said forming apparatus so as to bring said metallic scrap into a more compact form.
A bending machine for bringing elongated metallic scrap into a more compact form, comprising
- a frame,
- a forming apparatus connected to the frame, and
- a driving device for operating the forming apparatus, wherein said forming apparatus comprises at least two separate bending members arranged substantially next to each other such that metallic scrap to be bent can be placed between said bending members, wherein at least one bending member is movable and adapted to be guided to a second position that is substantially different from its position during bending of the metallic scrap so as to permit removal of bent metallic scrap.
