Angussteile

This is a recycling machine which will shred "Angusteile". It's in a catalogue of recycling machines/shredders. I have no further context than that, I'm afraid.

Thanks Thanks everyone. I have found references to recycling metal sprue so I'm going with that.
itla Jul 11, 2009:
Angussteile Are you talking about plastics or metals? Metal would be remelted and plastic would be shredded. In both cases, you're fairly safe with "sprue" as suggested by MoTrans.

As I couldnt find a single ghit for machines shredding lugs, I consulted Google Pictures to find my supposition backed that lug is a synonym fof jig or retaining jig (in German < Haltevorrichtung > )
