Argentina: ENERPAT Scrap Metal Baling Press for Copper Wire Installed

Helping an Argentine Cable Manufacturer Turn Copper Scrap into Value

In Argentina's metal manufacturing sector, copper and aluminum prices fluctuate frequently, while storage space and logistics costs continue to rise. For cable and conductor manufacturers, handling large volumes of loose copper wire scrap efficiently has become a real operational challenge.

Recently, ENERPAT successfully delivered and commissioned a Scrap Metal Baling Press for a well-established Argentine cable and conductor manufacturer, helping the customer dramatically improve scrap handling efficiency, reduce costs, and unlock higher recycling value.

Customer Background: Copper Wire Scrap Became a Bottleneck

The customer is an experienced cable and conductor producer in Argentina, specializing in copper and aluminum wire manufacturing for industrial and infrastructure applications.

During daily production, the factory generated large volumes of copper wire offcuts, rejected conductors, and scrap copper strands. These materials were:

• Loose and difficult to stack

• Occupying excessive warehouse space

• Costly to transport due to low bulk density

• Less attractive to downstream recyclers and smelters

Searching online for a reliable solution, the customer found ENERPAT through Google using the keyword “Scrap Metal Baling Press for Copper Wire.”

Why the Customer Needed a Scrap Metal Baling Press

From the customer's perspective, the core pain points were clear:

• Reduce storage volume of copper scrap

• Lower transportation costs by increasing material density

• Improve scrap value for resale and remelting

• Ensure stable, long-term operation without damaging copper properties

A professional copper scrap baler was the only viable solution.

Real Material Testing and Transparent Decision-Making

After understanding the application requirements, ENERPAT invited the customer to:

• Visit our U.S. warehouse

• Conduct on-site material testing using real copper wire scrap

• Tour a local ENERPAT user site in the United States, where the same equipment has been running in daily production

By seeing the actual baling effect, bale density, and operating stability, the customer received direct, real-world feedback — not marketing claims.

This hands-on validation significantly shortened the decision cycle.

Recommended Solution: AMB-L1270-125 Hydraulic Scrap Press Machine

Based on material type, output expectations, and available space, ENERPAT recommended the AMB-L1270-125 hydraulic scrap press machine, a proven metal recycling baler with a door-cover design.

Key Technical Parameters (Dedicated Section)

• Model: AMB-L1270-125

• Pressing Force: 125 tons

• Chamber Size: 1200 × 700 × 600 mm

• Bale Size: 250 × 250 mm

• Motor Power: 15 kW

The ENERPAT hydraulic scrap baler installation in Argentina was completed quickly, allowing the customer to resume normal production without disruption.

Why Door-Cover Design Matters for Copper Wire Scrap

The door-cover structure offers clear advantages for copper wire and conductor waste:

• Easy loading of bulky, tangled wire scrap

• Strong hydraulic compression for high-density bales

• Cold-pressing process — no binders, no contamination

• Automatic bale discharge improves productivity and safety

After baling, copper scrap volume was reduced significantly, making storage and transportation far more efficient while improving furnace charging performance for downstream smelters.

Customer Results and Satisfaction

After installation, the customer reported:

• Substantial reduction in scrap storage area

• Fewer transport trips and lower logistics costs

• More consistent bale quality accepted by recyclers

• Faster internal scrap handling and cleaner workshops

The customer expressed high satisfaction and agreed to become one of ENERPAT's reference sites, allowing future customers to schedule visits and see the machine running in real production conditions.

Argentina Market Outlook: Why Now Is the Right Time to Invest

Argentina generates over 14 million tons of municipal solid waste annually, with a recycling rate still below international averages. Industrial scrap from cable manufacturing, automotive production, construction, and electronics continues to grow.

According to industry and government sources:

• Electronic waste alone reaches 350,000–450,000 tons per year

• Argentina's crude steel production remains at several million tons annually

• National policies promoting circular economy and recycling are being strengthened

These factors point to a steady 3–5 year growth trend for metal recycling equipment, including scrap metal baling press systems, especially for manufacturers aiming to control costs and comply with environmental regulations.

Government Policy Support in Argentina

Key regulations encouraging recycling equipment investment include:

• Ley N° 25.916 – Integrated Waste Management Law

• National and provincial Circular Economy initiatives

• Local incentives for reducing landfill disposal and improving material recovery

For manufacturers and recyclers, investing in a metal recycling baler is no longer optional — it is becoming a strategic necessity.
