A major U.S. wire manufacturer has recently installed a complete wire chopping and recycling system from ERS. The system was designed to process the company’s own production scrap—material that naturally accumulates during wire manufacturing. Every production run generates copper scrap from trimming, changeovers, and off-spec cuts. In the past, this material was sold to external scrap yards, a common practice across the industry. But after evaluating the economics, the manufacturer realized that recycling in-house with an ERS system delivers significantly higher returns.

By recovering copper directly from their own wire scrap, the company now retains full control over material flow and value. The ERS system integrates seamlessly into their production environment, turning a predictable byproduct into a profitable resource. This shift not only improves margins but also supports sustainability and long-term operational efficiency.

ERS systems are engineered specifically for wire and cable producers who want to capture more value from their own process. Whether you're manufacturing THHN, bare copper, or multi-conductor cable, our turnkey solutions help you recover metals, reduce waste, and close the loop on production scrap.
