One line, one team, from feed to saleable product
Metals processing and scrap metal recycling systems from ERS are engineered as complete lines, not as machines bought separately and hoped into working together. We design, build, install and support the whole chain that sorts your material, from the feed at one end to a clean, saleable fraction at the other.
The question we start with is never which machine you want. It is what your material actually is, and what you are losing in the reject fraction. Everything else follows from the answer to that.
What the line does in between is sorting: taking a mixed stream apart, stage by stage, until every fraction is clean enough to sell. That is what every ERS metals processing system is built to do.
With decades of industry experience, ERS combines engineering with real plant knowledge to design, build and install complete metals processing lines. From the first consultation and process flow design through equipment supply, installation and ongoing service, one team carries the project from beginning to end. That continuity matters most two years after commissioning, when something needs adjusting and you want to speak to someone who remembers why it was built that way.
No two facilities run the same material at the same rate in the same building. A line specified from a catalog will underperform in at least one of those three dimensions, and usually in all three. ERS specifies from your feedstock, your throughput target and your floor plan, in that order.
Material streams we build for
Every one of these is a sorting problem before it is an equipment problem, which is why ERS specifies the sorting stages around the fractions you intend to sell.
Copper Wire & Cable
Chopping and granulation for insulated copper and aluminum wire, maximizing liberation while preserving copper integrity for high purity recovery.
Explore →Large-Scale Wire Chopping
For plants running cable at volume, with heavy duty shredders, granulators and advanced magnetic and eddy current stages.
Explore →In-House Wire Scrap Recovery
For manufacturers handling their own offcuts, recovering value from scrap that never leaves the building.
Explore →Shredder Wire & Cable
High volume lines built around crushers, granulators and separators.
Explore →ASR & Car Fluff
Pulls metals and plastics out of complex shredder residue with minimal loss, turning a landfill cost into a recovered fraction.
Explore →ASR Fines
Takes the finest end of the shredder residue stream, where conventional separation stops working.
Explore →Midlings & Tailings
Recovers metal from the intermediate and residual fractions most operations write off. Often the fastest return in the plant, because the material is already on site and already paid for.
Explore →E-Scrap & Electronics
Shredding, milling and density separation for mixed electronics, recovering precious metals from the stream.
Explore →Circuit Boards
Board recycling lines sized around grade and volume, from low grade mixed boards to high value populated boards.
Explore →Retail E-Waste
Turnkey systems for retail and ITAD returns, handling mixed small electronics at volume.
Explore →HVAC & ACR Scrap
Radiator and coil processing that separates copper from aluminum cleanly enough to sell both.
Explore →Meatball & Armature
Copper meatball, armature and motor scrap, opened up and sorted into saleable fractions.
Explore →ACSR Wire
Aluminum conductor steel reinforced cable, separated into its aluminum and steel fractions.
Explore →Aluminum Can Scrap
Scrap and trim handling for beverage can production, where volumes are high and the metal is clean enough to be worth protecting.
Explore →Hard Drive Destruction
Secure destruction of drives and data-bearing media, with the metal recovered rather than landfilled.
Explore →All Wire Recycling Equipment
The full range of ERS wire and cable recycling equipment in one place.
Explore →Prove it on your own material first
Specifications on paper are a starting point, not an answer. The ERS Test Facility in Atlanta exists so that you never have to take a recovery figure on trust.
Send us a sample of your actual feedstock, we will sort it the way a line would, and then show you the recovery efficiency, the material purity and the throughput you can expect. You see the output fractions in front of you rather than a number in a brochure. If the result does not justify the investment, you have found that out for the cost of shipping a drum instead of the cost of a line.
That test is also where most system designs get refined, because real material almost always behaves differently from the way it was described on a phone call. A stream that separates cleanly in theory can carry moisture, oversize or contamination that changes the flowsheet entirely, and it is far better to discover that on a sample than on a commissioning date.
The ERS Test Facility
A full sorting line in Atlanta, Georgia, kept available to run customer material. Shredding, milling, magnetic, eddy current and density separation, all on the same floor.
Arrange a trialOne point of responsibility
Equipment integrated, not assembled
ERS works with established manufacturers including WEIMA, Guidetti and TAURUS, and integrates their equipment alongside ERS engineered components into a single line with one control philosophy. Shredders and mills, pre-shredders, hammer mills, shear balers, granulators and separation tables are specified as parts of a system rather than as individual purchases.
Systems we have built
Installed lines and commissioned systems are written up as they go in, under project news and system updates. Real plants, real material streams, real throughput, rather than reference figures with no job behind them.
Support after commissioning
A metals line is worth what it does in year five. ERS keeps a stocked warehouse and supports every installation it builds, from commissioning through to spare parts and service. Wear parts, screens, blades and separation components are available without a lead time measured in months.

If you are planning a metals processing and scrap metal recycling system, or want to know what your current line is losing in the reject fraction, send the details through the contact form. Better still, send a sample and we will run it.
