Metals Processing Equipment
Metals processing equipment from Engineered Recycling Systems covers metal separation, scrap recovery and material refinement, engineered as one line. ERS is a systems integrator for scrap metal processors and manufacturing facilities, combining European technology with industry expertise to design, deliver and install complete metal recovery and refining systems.
These integrated systems are built to lift recovery rates and produce salable commodities from difficult streams. ERS systems process a wide range of materials, including nonferrous wire, shredder wire, dirty wire, ASR, fluff, e-waste and E-Motor recycling streams.
Equipment, or a Line?
The distinction matters more than most buyers expect. A granulator bought on its own performs to its spec sheet. The same granulator fed by the wrong pre-shredder, discharging into a separation stage sized for different material, performs to neither. Recovery is decided by how the stages fit together, not by any one machine in the chain.
ERS specifies from the feedstock, the throughput target and the floor plan, in that order, and takes responsibility for the stages working as one. That is what separates an equipment supplier from a systems integrator.
Where Lines Underperform
Three causes account for most of it. The reduction stage is sized for an average feed rather than the hardest material the plant actually runs, so liberation collapses the moment a difficult batch arrives. The separation stage is bought separately and never matched to what the stage before it produces. And the air system is treated as housekeeping rather than as part of the process, which costs both recovery and uptime.
None of those show up on a spec sheet, and all three are visible on a drawing before anything is ordered. That is the stage where they are cheap to fix.
The Range
Reduction starts with PMG pre-shredders and runs through industrial shredders and mills — single-shaft, two-shaft, ripper and three-shaft machines — plus hammer mills and Tritone shredders.
Separation covers magnetic separation, eddy current, dry density tables, cyclone separators and advanced material separation. Handling and air are covered by conveyors, pneumatic transport and dust collection. At the end of the line sit industrial balers, TAURUS shear balers and briquette presses.
Material Streams
Wire and cable run through copper wire and cable recycling, large-scale wire chopping and wire recycling equipment. Shredder residue goes to ASR and car fluff and ASR fines processing. Electronics route through e-waste recycling systems and PCB recycling, and coil and radiator scrap through HVAC recycling and ACR chopping.
A Ten-Year Decision, Not a Purchase
A processing line is bought once and lived with for a decade. What decides whether that decade goes well is rarely the headline throughput figure. It is whether wear parts are still available in year six, whether the controls can be worked on by the people who are actually in the building, and whether the line can take a material stream nobody foresaw when it was specified.
ERS plans for that at the design stage rather than discovering it later — modular architecture so capacity and streams can change, and a stocked warehouse behind the installation so a wear part is a phone call rather than a shutdown.
Tested Before It Is Specified
Our equipment portfolio is extensive and adaptable, backed by technical knowledge rather than a catalog. We test your material and provide detailed justification documents to support system design, investment decisions and long-term ROI — which is what a capital approval actually needs, rather than a quotation.
Testing happens at the ERS Test Facility in Atlanta. Send a sample of your actual feedstock and we run it through an ERS process flow, then show you the recovery, the purity and the throughput you can expect, with the output fractions in front of you.
Beyond Metals
ERS builds the same way outside the metals lane. Industrial recycling and dust collection equipment systems covers the company-wide range, trim removal systems for paper, tissue and hygiene production the converting side, and the cardboard shredder handles packaging waste and corrugated scrap.
Support After Commissioning
Equipment is worth what it does in year five. ERS keeps a stocked warehouse and supports every installation it builds, through to spare parts and service — hammers, screens, blades, rotors and separation components without a lead time measured in months. Installed systems are written up under project news and system updates, and the wider picture sits under metals processing and scrap metal recycling systems.
Next Steps for Your Equipment Selection
If you are specifying metals processing equipment, send your material, your throughput target and your floor plan through the contact form. Better still, send a sample and we will run it before anyone quotes anything.
