On November 6, 2026, ENERPAT's sales representative traveled from the company's Ohio facility to San Leandro, California, for an on-site visit to a metal recycling operation in the San Francisco Bay Area.
The visit focused on assessing the customer's aluminum machining scrap, understanding existing material handling practices, and discussing a complete shredding, separation and briquetting solution within the Metal Chips Recycling System.
The customer operates multiple industrial facilities across Northern California and handles a variety of ferrous and non-ferrous metal scrap. With increasing volumes of aluminum machining chips collected from local machine shops, the customer is evaluating additional processing equipment to improve material quality, handling efficiency and recycling value.

During an on-site technical consultation in Dubai, UAE, ENERPAT assessed a metal chip recycling project for a precision machining operation serving the oil and gas industry. The facility generates metal chips and turnings from large machine tools across three production lines. Much of the material retains valuable cutting oil after collection, but the existing handling process does not recover the oil for reuse. Instead, the oily metal scrap is loaded into bulk bags and sold without further processing. The primary objective is to recover cutting oil, filter it and return it to the machine tools. A secondary objective is to compress the recovered metal chips into dense briquettes, reducing storage volume and simplifying scrap handling. ENERPAT's on-site consultation focused on evaluating the material, production layout, equipment height restrictions and potential configurations for an integrated metal chip briquetting and cutting oil recovery solution.

As part of ENERPAT’s commitment to providing direct, localized support across North America, our USA service team—led by senior technical leadership—recently performed an on-site visit to a precision metal manufacturing facility in Ashland, Ohio. Located just 40 minutes from ENERPAT’s Ohio warehouse and service hub, this facility processes large volumes of non-ferrous metals, primarily short brass turnings, copper swarf, and aluminum chip pucker materials. The primary objective of this site visit was to evaluate current operational bottlenecks, review material handling efficiency, and propose an advanced Swarf Briquetting Press system integrated into a turnkey Metal Chips Recycling System to significantly boost compaction density and daily output.

ENERPAT has successfully completed the installation and commissioning of an MSA-F600 Single Shaft Shredder and BM-1090 Copper Briquette Machine for a precision machining manufacturer in Ellange, Luxembourg. Founded in 1918, the customer is a third-generation family-owned company specializing in precision machining and metal component manufacturing. As production expanded, the company sought a more efficient and environmentally friendly solution for recycling copper machining chips while reducing manual handling and improving overall operational efficiency. Following a detailed technical evaluation, ENERPAT delivered a complete Metal Chips Recycling System that converts loose copper chips into high-density briquettes, helping the customer streamline material handling, improve workplace cleanliness, and increase the recycling value of copper scrap.
