What Scrap We Buy and Sell: A South India Guide by Hi-Tech Traders

Efficient scrap management depends not only on identifying material types but also understanding market demand across regions. At Hi-Tech Traders, we specialize in handling a wide variety of industrial scrap — both ferrous and non-ferrous — and serve key cities throughout South India.

What Scrap We Buy and Sell

We buy and sell a wide spectrum of industrial scrap, categorized by material and source. Whether it's routine plant disposal or large-scale factory clearance, we ensure value-driven transactions across every category.

Common Ferrous Scrap Materials

Mild Steel (MS)

  • Fabrication cuttings and plates
  • Structural beams and angles
  • Pipe scrap from industrial plumbing

Tool Steel & Machine Components

  • Die steel from press shops
  • Toolroom leftovers
  • Crankshafts and machine frames
  • Sheet trimmings (CR/HR)

Common Non-Ferrous Scrap Materials

Non-ferrous materials offer high resale value due to recyclability and demand in global markets.

  • Transformer coils and windings
  • Busbars and copper pipes
