Portland, Maine is a coastal industrial hub with a growing focus on sustainable recycling. Every year, the Greater Portland area generates an estimated 10,000–35,000 tons of ferrous scrap, sourced mainly from construction and demolition (C&D), metal fabrication, automotive dismantling, and appliance recycling.
Local recyclers face increasing pressure to reduce hauling costs, improve storage efficiency, and meet strict environmental regulations—especially as landfill costs and fuel prices continue to rise.
One leading scrap metal recycler in Portland reached out to ENERPAT with a challenge:
“We process mixed-size iron scrap at roughly 6 tons per hour, but our transportation costs are out of control. We need a compacting solution that’s powerful, durable, and safe.”

After learning about the customer’s situation, our U.S. sales team invited them to visit our ENERPAT U.S. warehouse for an on-site test using their own scrap iron. The results exceeded expectations.
We recommended the AMB-L2520-250T Door-Type Scrap Iron Baler, a heavy-duty hydraulic baling press designed specifically for high-density ferrous materials.
Key Specifications:
Press Force: 250 tons
Feeding Chamber: 2500 × 2000 × 1200 mm
Bale Size: 500 × 500 mm
Power: 30kw × 6 × 2 motors
The door-type structure ensures superior stability and longer service life, while the fully hydraulic system compresses scrap into uniform, high-density bales — without adhesives or heat, and without altering metal properties.
The customer quickly confirmed the purchase, impressed by both the test results and our prompt technical support.
After installation, the Portland customer reported:
Up to 60% reduction in transportation volume per trip
Significant savings in fuel and logistics costs
Higher resale value of compacted scrap due to uniform bale density
Improved site safety and organization
They later became one of ENERPAT's showcase sites in Maine, welcoming local partners to visit and observe real-time operation.
Maine's scrap iron largely originates from construction and demolition debris, manufacturing offcuts, and auto dismantling yards. Most of these operations rely on scrap iron balers to:
Compress irregular materials into dense, manageable packages
Cut down hauling trips and associated CO₂ emissions
Enhance furnace yield rates for smelting
Comply with recycling standards and workplace safety regulations
That's why partnering with a trusted Scrap Metal Baler Manufacturer is critical. ENERPAT provides localized sales, warehouse, and service teams across the U.S., ensuring fast delivery and on-site support.
