A new generation of bladeless recycling systems is redefining expectations in cable and WEEE processing. By removing knives from the reduction stage, these systems eliminate one of the most maintenance‑intensive components found in traditional granulators. Without blades, there is no sharpening, no adjustment, and no replacement cycle, which immediately reduces the amount of service work required and removes a major source of downtime.

The absence of knives creates a more stable and predictable workflow. Throughput remains consistent because the system no longer depends on the condition of cutting tools, and operators benefit from a process that runs longer between service intervals. Over the lifetime of the equipment, this leads to lower operating costs, fewer interruptions, and a simpler maintenance routine for plant personnel.

For facilities handling mixed cables, electronic scrap, or variable feedstock, bladeless technology offers a reliable and efficient alternative to conventional cutting‑based systems. It provides a cleaner, more controlled process that supports higher uptime and long‑term operational stability.

ERS continues to evaluate and support advanced technologies that push recycling performance forward. If your operation is exploring next‑generation processing solutions, this development is worth close attention.

Engineered Recycling Systems (ERS) is expanding its metal scrap recovery solutions to support a wide range of can‑manufacturing environments. Modern production lines for beverage cans, food cans, pet food containers, aerosol formats, and specialty metal packaging generate substantial volumes of trim, slugs, and offcuts during forming, decorating, and end‑making processes. This scrap represents valuable material — and losing it to outside recyclers means losing profit.

ERS systems are engineered to capture, convey, and process metal scrap directly at the source, enabling manufacturers to recycle their own material in‑house rather than shipping it out. Integrated shredders, granulators, and separation modules transform production scrap into clean, reusable metal streams that can be fed back into the facility’s recycling loop or sold at higher value.

This approach reduces dependency on third‑party recyclers, protects material value, and supports circularity goals across aluminum, steel, and composite can formats. Whether a facility produces DWI cans, tinplate food containers, or multi‑material specialty packaging, ERS systems ensure consistent scrap handling at full production speed.

Air filtration remains part of the overall solution — but as a supporting component. ERS provides stable airflow and particulate control to maintain clean conveyance and protect equipment, while the core system focuses on maximizing metal recovery and eliminating scrap‑related production losses.

Demolition and interior renovation contractors are seeing a steady rise in insulated copper wire generated during building tear‑outs, electrical removals, and large‑scale interior strip‑outs. As project volumes increase and material streams become more diverse, many contractors are reassessing how they handle wire once it leaves the jobsite. The traditional approach of sending mixed insulated wire directly to scrap yards is shifting, driven by higher copper values, tighter project margins, and a growing interest in capturing more of the material’s true worth.

Across the demolition industry, contractors are exploring whether bringing wire recovery in‑house can create a more predictable and profitable workflow. With insulated wire now representing a meaningful portion of project scrap, the ability to convert this material into clean copper granules is becoming an attractive option. Contractors who manage multiple projects per month, or who regularly remove wiring from commercial, industrial, or institutional buildings, are finding that consistent volumes can justify a dedicated recovery system.

Engineered Recycling Systems (ERS) works closely with demolition companies, interior strip‑out specialists, and building service contractors who want greater control over their wire stream. Many are looking for a cleaner, more efficient way to handle the material they already generate, without relying solely on fluctuating scrap yard pricing. By integrating a compact, scalable wire recovery system into their operation, contractors can streamline material handling, improve output quality, and create a more stable revenue channel from the wire they remove every day.

As the demolition sector continues to evolve, more companies are recognizing the value of treating insulated wire as a recoverable resource rather than a low‑value byproduct. ERS supports this shift by designing systems that fit the pace, space, and workflow of demolition operations, from small contractor yards to larger regional facilities. With cleaner output, consistent performance, and engineered reliability, these systems help contractors strengthen their material strategy and capture more value from the work they already perform.
