ENERPAT's AMB-L1480-160T Non Ferrous Baler Transforms U.S. Recycler’s Mixed-Metal Operations

Introduction: A Recycler’s Search for a High-Capacity Non Ferrous Baler

In February 2025, a U.S.-based metal recycler faced a critical bottleneck: their aging non ferrous baler (18.6kW, 203mm cylinder) struggled to compact mixed copper, brass, and aluminum shims into dense, uniform bales. Operating with a flip-cylinder system, the machine failed to meet the recycler’s demands for:

• Daily throughput: 1.8 tons of loose scrap metals.

• Bale density: 11kg compact blocks for efficient storage and smelting.

• Urgent replacement: Avoiding downtime during peak recycling season.

After discovering ENERPAT’s U.S. inventory and local sales team via their website, the recycler connected with Jimmy, ENERPAT’s U.S. Sales Manager, who orchestrated a 30-day purchasing journey—from needs assessment to machine delivery.

Solution: ENERPAT’s AMB-L1480-160T Non-Ferrous Baler – A Tailored Fit for Mixed Metals

1. Customized Needs Analysis

Jimmy prioritized three core objectives during the recycler’s warehouse visit:

• Material diversity: Copper fragments, brass scraps, and aluminum shims (varying sizes).

• Production timeline: Immediate deployment to replace the failing scrap metal baling machine.

• Operational efficiency: 11kg bales to optimize storage density and smelter pricing.

Jimmy recommended the AMB-L1480-160T hydraulic metal baler, a 160-ton hydraulic compactor designed for:

• 1400×800×700mm feed chamber: Accommodating oversized copper and brass fragments.

• 350×350mm bale output: Meeting the client’s 11kg density target.

• 30kW motor: Balancing power consumption with 160 tons of crushing force.

2. On-Site Testing Drives Rapid Decision-Making

The recycler brought samples of copper, brass, and aluminum to ENERPAT’s U.S. warehouse. The AMB-L1480-160T’s door-cover design and cold-press hydraulic system excelled:

• 92% volume reduction: Transformed loose scrap into 11kg bales in under 90 seconds per cycle.

• Zero material degradation: Preserved metal purity for premium smelter payouts.

• Plug-and-play setup: The client’s team began operations within 48 hours of delivery.

Results: Cost Savings & Operational Gains

Since installing the AMB-L1480-160T non-ferrous baler, the recycler has achieved:
