In October 2026, the ENERPAT US technical service team conducted an on-site visit to a prominent metal recycling facility in St. Louis, Missouri. As a leading regional scrap metal processor, the client seeks to expand its existing scrap handling operations. This site visit focused on providing preventative maintenance and engineering retrofits for an existing Hopper-Style Automatic Metal Baler, while finalizing engineering layouts for an automated aluminum scrap shredding and magnetic separation system.

For businesses handling professional power tools, products that fail inspection or can no longer be sold present a challenge beyond inventory management. They must be removed from the sales stream, processed according to the business's handling requirements, and prepared for an appropriate downstream recycling route. In Melbourne, Australia, an industrial tool distribution business selected ENERPAT equipment to improve the handling of rejected power tools. The project combines an MSB-E1200 Dual Shaft Shredder with an AMB-H2014-250 Metal Scrap Baler, bringing size reduction and metal compaction into one coordinated workflow. The reason for using two machines is practical. Whole power tools are bulky and contain a mixture of materials. Feeding them directly into a metal baler is not an ideal approach for every application. Shredding suitable items first reduces their size, while subsequent sorting prepares the recoverable metal fraction for compaction. With this arrangement, the busin

ENERPAT visited a leading U.S. plumbing products manufacturer at its Chicago-area facility on October 2, 2026, for an on-site technical consultation focused on copper chip recycling, oil removal, thermal drying, and briquetting. The manufacturer is preparing a new production facility and evaluating an integrated system to process copper chips generated during the machining of plumbing valves and fittings. The objective is to remove residual oil, dry the material, and compress the recovered copper into dense briquettes for remelting. During the visit, ENERPAT introduced a proposed Metal Chips Recycling System, reviewed the customer's existing chip-processing equipment, and discussed the requirements for a new production line. The next stage will involve material testing and equipment selection based on actual processing results.

In Chihuahua's fast-moving industrial corridor, efficient scrap handling directly impacts a yard's bottom line. As manufacturing volume surges across northern Mexico, regional scrap processors encounter unprecedented quantities of off-cut profiles, aluminum UBCs, machine shop swarf, and light non-ferrous metals. Handling these volumes profitably requires compaction equipment built for continuous duty—not machines that keep maintenance crews up at night. ENERPAT recently completed the setup and commissioning of an AMB-H1075-100 Non Ferrous Baler for a high-volume metal recovery yard in Chihuahua. The installation replaced a problematic pre-owned unit with modern hydraulic engineering, providing the facility with instant operational uptime and immediate relief from chronic oil leaks.

For metalworking facilities, aluminum chips are a valuable byproduct of machining. But before that material can move into the next stage of recycling, it often needs to be collected, handled and prepared in a way that fits the plant's workflow. A metalworking company in Angeles County, California, needed a practical solution to compact aluminum chips before sending them for furnace processing. Loose chips can take up considerable storage space, complicate material handling and create additional work between machining and recycling. The company selected the ENERPAT AMB-H1075-250 Aluminum Chip Compactor, a 250-ton hydraulic scrap baling machine designed to compress suitable metal scrap into compact bales. Two factors played an important role in the equipment selection: equipment availability and material testing. The customer wanted to confirm the machine's suitability for its aluminum chips while prioritizing access to available equipment. This project reflects a common concern amon

Following productive networking at the International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS), ENERPAT’s executive leadership and regional technical consultants conducted an on-site facility audit for a leading precision CNC machining plant based in Nashville, Tennessee. This pre-sales site consultation focused on evaluating the facility’s machining scrap volume, analyzing scrap stream morphology, and designing a tailored Metal Chips Briquetting Recycling System to optimize metal scrap value and cutting fluid reclamation.

On September 23, 2026, ENERPAT carried out an on-site pre-sales technical consultation with a recycling and manufacturing customer in Bologna, Italy. The visit focused on the customer's current baling process, the characteristics of its aluminum scrap, and the requirements for a dedicated aluminum scrap baling machine. Rather than replacing the customer's existing equipment directly, ENERPAT's objective was to understand the actual material and operating requirements before recommending a suitable baling solution.
