As part of ENERPAT’s commitment to providing direct, localized support across North America, our USA service team—led by senior technical leadership—recently performed an on-site visit to a precision metal manufacturing facility in Ashland, Ohio. Located just 40 minutes from ENERPAT’s Ohio warehouse and service hub, this facility processes large volumes of non-ferrous metals, primarily short brass turnings, copper swarf, and aluminum chip pucker materials. The primary objective of this site visit was to evaluate current operational bottlenecks, review material handling efficiency, and propose an advanced Swarf Briquetting Press system integrated into a turnkey Metal Chips Recycling System to significantly boost compaction density and daily output.

On October 9, 2026, ENERPAT visited a recycling facility in Columbus, Ohio, to assess scrap cable materials, review existing processing equipment, and evaluate options for a more efficient copper recovery operation. The consultation focused on two distinct material streams: conventional insulated copper wire and armored electrical cable, including BX and MC cable. The objective was to identify suitable processing methods, reduce manual handling, and establish a scalable equipment configuration for future business growth. During the visit, ENERPAT's team inspected the available materials, reviewed the facility's current workflow, and discussed potential equipment options with the customer.

Copper machining generates valuable scrap, but loose chips are not always the easiest material to store, handle, or prepare for recycling. For manufacturers looking to recover more value from their production waste, the question is whether better scrap preparation can improve the economics of an existing recycling process. In October 2026, ENERPAT installed a BM-1090 Copper Chip Compacting Machine at a U.S. manufacturing facility. The project focused on a straightforward objective: compressing copper machining chips into compact briquettes before selling the material to a scrap metal buyer. The customer wanted a practical way to prepare copper scrap for recycling, with equipment availability playing an important role in the purchasing decision. Rather than waiting for a machine to be manufactured to order, the business selected an available BM-1090 to move the project forward. For smaller and mid-sized machining operations, this type of investment offers a way to improve scrap handl

On October 8, 2026, ENERPAT's CEO, James Kim, and Sales Representative Darren Liu visited an automotive recycling facility in Pennsylvania, USA, for an on-site technical consultation. The discussion focused on the facility's existing automotive shredding and separation operations, potential improvements to metal scrap handling, vehicle pre-shredding requirements, and opportunities to upgrade non-ferrous metal recovery. Several equipment applications were discussed, including a twin-ram metal baler, a hydraulic twin-shaft car pre-shredder, a Scrap Tyre Baler, and an X-Ray Sorting Machine. The purpose of the visit was to understand the customer's operating conditions, assess equipment integration requirements, and identify the next steps toward suitable recycling solutions.

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.
