Galion, USA | Vehicle Recycling Solution | Customer Visit & Pre-Sales Consultation | ENERPAT

Customer Visits ENERPAT's U.S. Warehouse for Vehicle Recycling Equipment Evaluation

On September 2, 2026, ENERPAT welcomed a U.S. recycling equipment customer to its warehouse in Galion, Ohio, for an in-depth discussion about vehicle recycling equipment and a potential integrated processing solution.

The customer operates a small equipment and recycling business in Michigan and is preparing to move into a new facility within the next 4–5 weeks. With the new facility approaching, the customer is evaluating equipment for vehicle and engine processing while also exploring potential cooperation with ENERPAT as an equipment distributor.

During the visit, the customer toured the ENERPAT U.S. warehouse, reviewed different recycling machines, and discussed equipment configurations, processing capacity, investment considerations, and potential system integration with the ENERPAT team.

Understanding the Customer's Requirements

The customer is planning to develop a more complete vehicle recycling operation and is evaluating multiple machines that can work together as an integrated system.

The main areas discussed during the visit included:

• Engine processing and crushing

• End-of-life vehicle baling

• Vehicle dismantling and shearing

• Copper recovery

• Metal size reduction

• Material handling

• Downstream material separation

• Future recycling system layout

• Potential equipment distribution cooperation

Rather than selecting a single machine, the customer was interested in building a connected processing workflow covering multiple stages of vehicle recycling.

Equipment Demonstration at ENERPAT's U.S. Warehouse

During the visit, the ENERPAT team introduced the customer to various recycling machines available for vehicle and metal processing.

The customer reviewed the equipment operation and discussed potential applications for the planned facility.

Among the equipment demonstrated and discussed, the customer showed particular interest in ENERPAT's single-shaft shredder and industrial metal processing equipment.

The warehouse visit also provided an opportunity for the customer to better understand ENERPAT's equipment manufacturing capabilities, machine configurations, and potential system integration options.

Vehicle Recycling Equipment Under Evaluation

Engine Cracker

One of the customer's main requirements is an engine processing system capable of handling approximately 12 engines per hour, with a target daily volume of around 120 engines.

ENERPAT discussed a preliminary processing concept combining engine pressing/crushing with downstream size reduction and material separation.

The proposed workflow can be developed around:

Engine Feeding → Engine Pressing/Crushing → Size Reduction → Separation → Recovered Materials

To make the process easier to understand, ENERPAT will prepare a 3D operating animation and equipment layout showing the engine processing and separation stages.

SCE6000 Vehicle Baler

The customer is also evaluating a large vehicle baling machine for processing end-of-life vehicles.

ENERPAT introduced the SCE6000 vehicle baler, including its application, operating principle, technical configuration, and potential role within the customer's future recycling operation.

Detailed product documentation will be provided for further evaluation.

Vehicle Dismantling Shear

A hydraulic vehicle dismantling shear was also discussed as part of the customer's vehicle processing requirements.

ENERPAT will provide the relevant technical information, dimensional drawing, and pricing so the customer can evaluate the equipment alongside the other machines.

Copper Granulation Equipment

Copper recovery is another important consideration for the customer's recycling operation.

ENERPAT introduced its copper granulation equipment with a reference processing capacity of approximately 1,000 lb/h.

The customer will receive the relevant product brochure and dimensional drawing for further technical evaluation.

Vertical Metal Shredder

A vertical metal shredder was also discussed as a potential downstream processing machine.

However, the customer considered the preliminary investment level relatively high compared with the current project budget.

As a result, the vertical shredder is currently a future consideration rather than an immediate priority.

ENERPAT will still provide the technical information for reference.

Orange-Peel Grapple

The customer also expressed interest in an orange-peel grapple for handling vehicles, engines, and loose metal materials.

ENERPAT will provide the relevant product information and dimensional drawing to support the customer's equipment planning.

Exploring an Integrated Vehicle Recycling Solution

A key part of the discussion was how different machines could be connected into a more complete processing system.

For example, the engine processing system could potentially be followed by a vertical crushing stage and subsequent material separation.

A preliminary concept is:

Engine Feeding → Engine Crusher/Press → Vertical Shredding → Material Separation → Metal Recovery

The final process will depend on the customer's actual feedstock, target throughput, material composition, and available facility space.

Once the customer confirms the preferred equipment configuration, ENERPAT can further develop the equipment layout and overall system design.

Why the Customer Visit Matters

For a complex recycling project, visiting the equipment supplier's facility allows customers to evaluate machines directly rather than relying solely on online communication.

During this visit, the customer was able to:

• Inspect ENERPAT recycling equipment directly

• Discuss machine configurations face-to-face

• Compare different processing options

• Clarify capacity requirements

• Discuss potential equipment integration

• Evaluate future expansion possibilities

• Review technical documentation with the ENERPAT team

• Explore potential distribution cooperation

The direct discussion also allowed ENERPAT to better understand the customer's priorities and recommend equipment according to the planned processing workflow.

Compared with extended online communication, a focused face-to-face equipment evaluation can significantly accelerate technical discussions and help both sides identify the next steps more efficiently.

ENERPAT's Follow-Up Support

Following the warehouse visit, ENERPAT will continue supporting the customer with technical information and preliminary solution planning.

The next steps include:

1. Preparing a 3D engine processing animation with the material separation system.

2. Providing the engine processing layout for further discussion.

3. Sending detailed information for the SCE6000 vehicle baler.

4. Confirming the model and pricing of the vehicle dismantling shear and providing its dimensional drawing.

5. Providing the copper granulator brochure and dimensional drawing.

6. Sending technical information for the vertical metal shredder for future consideration.

7. Providing the orange-peel grapple information and dimensional drawing.

8. Developing the overall equipment layout and system design after the customer confirms the preferred equipment configuration.

From Equipment Evaluation to Long-Term Cooperation

The visit was more than a conventional product inquiry. It provided an opportunity for the customer and ENERPAT to discuss a complete vehicle recycling workflow, from engine processing and vehicle baling to metal size reduction, separation, and material handling.

ENERPAT will continue to provide technical support throughout the customer's equipment evaluation and facility planning process.

For customers developing vehicle recycling operations in the United States, ENERPAT can support projects from individual equipment selection to integrated recycling system planning, with technical consultation, equipment demonstrations, layout design, and ongoing project support.
