Unlocking High-Value Scrap Recovery: ENERPAT Conducts On-Site Engineering Survey for Leading Austrian EV Component Manufacturer

VIENNA REGION, AUSTRIA – On September 18, 2026, ENERPAT field engineer Alex completed an in-depth pre-sales site survey and technical alignment meeting at a prominent European automotive supplier specializing in EV battery frame manufacturing in Austria. Meeting with the client's senior project management team, ENERPAT engaged in rigorous technical evaluation to customize an automated scrap metal recycling solution tailored for their manufacturing operations across European facilities.

With recent strategic capital investment and aggressive expansion plans for 2027, the client selected ENERPAT as its exclusive technical vendor for this recycling modernization initiative. Procurement decision-making is scheduled for completion by late 2026, with system commissioning slated for mid-2027.

Key Field Findings & Engineering Challenges

During the shop-floor inspection, ENERPAT evaluated the customer's current scrap generation profiles and operational bottlenecks:

Strict Material Segregation Requirement

Primary Material (90% volume): Soft aluminum scrap generated during battery enclosure manufacturing. Large, irregular dimensions, easily bendable by hand, carrying extremely high commercial resale value.

Secondary Material: Uniform, pre-sized structural offcuts with lower market value.

Critical Constraint: Cross-contamination between the two scrap streams must be strictly avoided to preserve peak secondary metal scrap yield values.

Limitations of Legacy Equipment

The client currently operates a vertical hydraulic baler requiring heavy manual intervention, which fails to keep pace with continuous 24/7 manufacturing line output.

Core Operational & Technical Mandates

Customized Processing Flow: The system must handle high-volume batch loading seamlessly without creating excessive fines or maintenance downtime.

Fully Automated Batch Feeding: Operating on 24-hour shifts with material transfer every 2 hours, the customer requires a dedicated hopper dosing system. Operators need a "one-touch start" system allowing batch loading before returning to primary manufacturing tasks.

Weatherproof Outdoor Installation: Due to plant floor space constraints, the entire processing line must be installed outdoors, requiring heavy-duty corrosion protection, IP65 waterproof electrical enclosures, and hydraulic oil heating elements.

EU Compliance & European Legal Entity: To eliminate cross-border import risks and streamline CE certification compliance, the customer requested contract execution through ENERPAT’s European legal entity.

Tailored Engineering Solution by ENERPAT

To address the customer's high-capacity recovery demands, ENERPAT engineered a fully integrated scrap processing line:

Primary Shredding: MSB-E800 Dual-Shaft Shredder (Heavy-duty size reduction system engineered for high-torque processing of bulky industrial scrap)

Dosing & Precision Weighing: Integrated dosing hopper with live weight monitoring for consistent batch feeding.

Compaction System: AMB-H1075-100T Baler for Scrap Metal (High-density automatic compaction system)

System Metrics: Max input feed dimensions up to 1570mm (L) × 350mm (W), achieving a throughput capacity of 700 kg/h and producing 50 kg mill-ready high-density bales.

Next Steps & European Commitment

Expressing strong confidence in ENERPAT's equipment engineering and international project execution track record, the customer confirmed that ENERPAT is currently positioned as the sole technical partner for this enterprise project. With technical alignment successfully concluded, both engineering teams are finalizing layout drawings and electrical integration specs ahead of the Q4 contract execution.
