With the rapid growth of mattress recycling businesses across the U.S., especially in cities like Austin, handling bulky and high-tensile mattress springs has become a critical operational challenge.
For local recyclers, investing in a Scrap Metal Baler for Mattress Springs is no longer optional—it is essential for reducing logistics costs, improving scrap value, and achieving efficient large-scale processing.
This case highlights how an Austin-based mattress recycling company upgraded its operation with the ENERPAT AMB-L2014-250 Lid Style Automatic Scrap Metal Baler, achieving higher productivity and profitability.
The customer is a professional mattress recycling company based in Austin, Texas, specializing in:
Mattress dismantling
Box spring recycling
Scrap metal recovery from steel springs
After dismantling mattresses, large volumes of loose steel springs are generated. Without proper compression, these materials:
Occupy excessive storage space
Increase transportation costs
Fail to meet scrap yard density requirements
To solve this, the customer invested in a Scrap Metal Baler for Mattress Springs to compact the material into high-density bales for easier handling and better resale value.

This was not the customer’s first purchase. In fact, they had already been using an ENERPAT Scrap Metal Baler since early 2019.
After years of stable operation and proven ROI, they decided to purchase a second unit—the AMB-L2014-250 scrap baling press for sale—to expand their capacity.
✔ Proven Reliability Over Time
The first machine has been running for years with no major issues, requiring only routine maintenance such as valve replacement and minor welding.
✔ High Efficiency and Fast Cycle Time
With a 70-second cycle per bale, the machine significantly boosts throughput.
✔ Handles Large Materials Easily
The large chamber design allows king-size mattress springs to be loaded directly without pre-cutting.
✔ Meets Premium Scrap Standards
The machine produces dense, uniform bales (approx. 2×2×2 ft), enabling the customer to achieve premium HMS 1 pricing in the scrap market.
“The Enerpat is without a doubt the best metal baler on the market… extremely reliable… and produces very tight bales.”
