Ohio, USA | Auto Scrap & Heavy Metal Processing System | Technical Consulting & Site Survey | ENERPAT

1. Executive Summary & Facility Profile

During IMTS 2026 (International Manufacturing Technology Show) in Chicago, executive representatives from a premier automobile recycling facility in Ohio discovered ENERPAT’s advanced metal recycling technology. Impressed by ENERPAT’s heavy-duty engineering capability and specialized Gantry Shear solutions, the client extended an immediate, same-day invitation to ENERPAT’s executive leadership and technical sales team to visit their processing yard in Ohio.

The facility specializes in processing End-of-Life Vehicles (ELVs), waste tires, and diverse ferrous and non-ferrous scrap fractions. The primary goal of this immediate field visit was to inspect their outdoor storage yard, evaluate their heavy scrap throughput capacity (~30 tons per hour), and formulate a comprehensive machinery upgrade plan incorporating a high-capacity Gantry Shear alongside stationary and diesel-driven processing equipment.

2. Operational Audit & Fleet Upgrades

During the yard walkthrough, ENERPAT engineers audited the current recycling workflow:

• Current Infrastructure Limitations: Vehicle dismantling and heavy scrap size reduction are currently performed using mobile shear attachments (Genesis 3000 class) mounted on excavators. Light aluminum cans and thin sheet scrap are handled by an aging baler.

• Capacity & Power Constraints: To meet the target processing capacity of 30 tons per hour for heavy structural scrap and light metal, the yard requires an independent, heavy-duty Gantry Shear driven by a high-power diesel system capable of off-grid operation across open yard areas.

• Key Process Bottlenecks: Manual handling of car bodies, engine block cracking, and scrap wire processing limits daily output and value recovery from copper and aluminum components.

3. Proposed ENERPAT Multi-Category Recycling Circuit

To upgrade the facility into an automated scrap processing center, ENERPAT proposed a tailored multi-machine solution targeting different scrap streams:

Heavy Scrap Steel (30 t/h): Diesel-Driven Heavy-Duty Gantry Shear — Continuous heavy shearing of structural steel, pipe, heavy plates, and mixed scrap with an integrated diesel engine power pack.

ELV Car Bodies & Light Scrap: Heavy-Duty Car Baling Machine — Densifies whole vehicle shells and light sheet metal into high-density bales for efficient transport and mill charging.

Cast Iron Engine Blocks: Hydraulic Engine Cracker — Fractures cast iron engine blocks and gearboxes to separate clean aluminum casings from iron crankshafts.

Automotive Wire Harnesses: Precision Copper Wire Granulator — Crushes and separates automotive wiring looms into pure copper granules and clean plastic insulation.

Technical Insight — Diesel Power Pack Integration: For heavy-duty applications handling 30 tons per hour in open-air yards, ENERPAT heavy-duty Gantry Shear units and portable balers feature heavy-duty industrial diesel engines, eliminating expensive electrical infrastructure upgrades and allowing full mobility across large yards.

4. Technical Commitments & Action Plan

1.Technical Documentation Delivery: Compile and deliver comprehensive technical proposals, layout engineering drawings, and fuel consumption profiles for the heavy-duty Gantry Shear (30 t/h diesel-driven).

2. Multi-Equipment Solution Dossier: Provide full specifications and operational videos for the heavy Gantry Shear, Car Baling Machine, hydraulic engine cracker, and Copper Wire Granulator systems.

3. Live Equipment Demonstration: Extend a formal invitation to the client's executive team to visit an active ENERPAT reference site and testing facility in November 2026 to inspect the Gantry Shear, Car Baling Machine, and engine cracker under real-world operating conditions.

5. ENERPAT Technical Service Philosophy

Building long-term partnerships with leading American metal recycling yards requires direct executive engagement and swift technical response. By connecting at top-tier expos like IMTS 2026 and following up immediately with on-site engineering surveys, ENERPAT delivers tailored equipment strategies—from heavy-duty Gantry Shear installations to non-ferrous recovery systems—that streamline vehicle processing, increase material recovery rates, and maximize long-term ROI.
