   "We expect to see more and more metal recyclers providing choppers to their clients," said Scott Ashpole, Sweed's president."This is truly a win-win situation, and we are glad to be a part of it."
   
   "It's just more efficient for recyclers to process scrap where it's being created," he said."Junk scrap is converted quickly into valuable, market-ready material at the customer's location."
   
   "It's a different way of doing business for us," said Scott."For more than 40 years, we have had a reputation for designing and customizing equipment to meet the needs of manufacturers.For a long time, we have produced machines that convert scrap to marketable material.Now, in a sense, we are creating partnerships among us, the manufacturers who produce the scrap, and the people who actually sell the processed material to the foundries."
   
   Scott noted that recyclers are approaching their customers in a variety of ways."Some scrap dealers offer to finance the chopper for them and pay them more for the processed material than they are paying for their unprocessed scrap," he said."Then they deduct their customer's payments for the chopper from the money they give them for the scrap, until the machine has been paid for."Scott added that he is available to help scrap dealers negotiate deals with their customers.
   
   Manufacturers are increasing productivity, efficiency, and on-the-job safety.Scrap dealers are increasing their profits by providing Sweed machines to their clients."Sweed is proud to be an integral part of this new partnership," said Scott."It's a new way of doing business, a new way or working together for mutual success."

   "We're selling a lot of point of generation equipment," says Scott Ashpole, general manager of Sweed Machinery, Gold Hill, Ore. Among the equipment Sweed offers is a small rotary shear that can be set up on production floors of wire and cable makers.
   
   "When they are not hitting spec, the shear is there and they can make a material that is easy to handle and can be compacted and is not in the form of big coils on the floor," says Ashpole. The machines can be tied into the central control panel and timed to match the line speed, he adds.
   
   The material produced can still end up going to a larger wire chopping operation, or companies can choose to further process it to create their own marketable choppings.
   
   Some large-volume generators of wire and cable-most notably utilities and cable manufacturers-have set up their own chopping lines to try to maximize their profits from the generated material.
   
   Alcan Aluminum Corp., with U.S. headquarters in Cleveland and world headquarters in Montreal, has a cable division with several North American locations. Three of thse facilities process their own scrap, while two of them also accept outside wire and cable scrap for processing.
