ABSTRACT:
A scrap handling system includes a bay having an area for receiving an open-topped roll-off container, a feeder conveyor for conveying non-balling, flowable, metal chip scrap to the bay, and a scrap leveler having an input end positioned to receive metal chip scrap from the feeder conveyor, and further having a screw configured to deposit the metal chip scrap in the container and to engage the metal chip scrap as the scrap is deposited to distribute and level the metal chip scrap in the container. A leveler support pivotally supports the leveler at the input end, and a lift is attached to the other end and is configured to move the scrap leveler between a raised position providing room to remove and replace the container, and a lowered position positioning the leveler parallel a top of the container to level the metal chip scrap as the metal chip scrap is deposited. Angled side sections extend laterally on the housing at least to side walls of the container for covering the open top of the container to prevent rain and snow from entering the top. A method related to the above is also disclosed.
