For metalworking facilities, aluminum chips are a valuable byproduct of machining. But before that material can move into the next stage of recycling, it often needs to be collected, handled and prepared in a way that fits the plant's workflow. A metalworking company in Angeles County, California, needed a practical solution to compact aluminum chips before sending them for furnace processing. Loose chips can take up considerable storage space, complicate material handling and create additional work between machining and recycling. The company selected the ENERPAT AMB-H1075-250 Aluminum Chip Compactor, a 250-ton hydraulic scrap baling machine designed to compress suitable metal scrap into compact bales. Two factors played an important role in the equipment selection: equipment availability and material testing. The customer wanted to confirm the machine's suitability for its aluminum chips while prioritizing access to available equipment. This project reflects a common concern amon

ENERPAT recently conducted an on-site pre-sales technical consultation with a CNC machining company in Chihuahua, Mexico, to evaluate practical recycling options for its aluminum and steel machining chips. The customer was looking for a way to recover more value from its machining waste while reducing losses associated with the current disposal method. During the visit, ENERPAT reviewed the customer's material flow, current collection method, estimated scrap volume, cutting-fluid content, downstream recycling requirements, and investment expectations. Several recycling approaches were discussed and compared based on the customer's actual operating conditions.
