Taurus scrap processing equipment represents more than six decades of engineering innovation, heavy‑duty construction, and proven performance in the global recycling industry. Founded in 1964 in Daverio, Italy, TAURUS has become one of the most respected manufacturers of inclined shears, shear balers, pre‑shredders, and hammer mills—machines designed to handle the toughest scrap streams with continuous, reliable operation. With more than 1,000 installations in over 50 countries, TAURUS equipment is recognized for its durability, throughput, and long service life in demanding industrial environments.

ERS now brings the complete TAURUS product line directly to the United States, supported by local engineering, integration, installation, and service. This collaboration ensures that U.S. recyclers benefit from European‑built machinery backed by a domestic team capable of delivering turnkey system design, automation, and long‑term technical support. Existing TAURUS customers in the U.S. also gain faster response times, streamlined communication, and a single partner for equipment, upgrades, and future system integration. The combination of TAURUS engineering and ERS system expertise creates a more complete and capable solution for operations focused on metal recycling efficiency and long‑term performance.

TAURUS organizes its machinery into three major product lines, each engineered for a specific stage of the scrap‑processing workflow:

TR LINE – Inclined Shears (BLACKLINE)

The TAURUS TR Series is designed for continuous‑feed shearing of mixed, bulky, and heavy scrap. These machines use an inclined oscillating table, vertical compression, and dual side lids to pre‑compress material before cutting. Cutting forces range from 800 to 1,800 tons, with the TR‑VHD models delivering the highest performance for extreme scrap conditions. The continuous feed design eliminates the need for manual pre‑processing, allowing operators to load material directly into the hopper while the machine maintains a steady cutting rhythm. This makes the TR line ideal for high‑volume yards processing demolition scrap, profiles, beams, rails, rebar, and mixed industrial scrap.

BL LINE – Shear Balers (BLULINE)

TAURUS shear balers are known worldwide for their patented swinging‑wing compression box, which delivers exceptional densification and uniform bale formation. The BLULINE range includes fixed, mobile, and tracked models such as HAKA, K, X, R, Q, HIRU, and ELLE. These machines feature Hardox‑reinforced wings, twin‑cylinder shear heads, bolt‑on wear plates, and no‑foundation installation. The over‑stroke system on both lids increases density, reduces wear, and improves cycle times. Whether processing light scrap, ELVs, production scrap, or heavy demolition material, TAURUS shear balers provide a powerful combination of cutting force, compression strength, and operational flexibility.

BR LINE – Pre‑Shredders & Hammer Mills (REDLINE)

The BRAVO pre‑shredder is one of the most advanced mill‑feeders on the market. Using dual counter‑rotating shafts, BRAVO safely opens bales, cars, and bulky scrap while virtually eliminating explosion risks from fuel tanks, LPG cylinders, and pressurized containers. The machine reduces shredder power peaks, increases hammer life, and improves downstream throughput. For final size reduction, the TAURUS REDMILL hammer mill delivers high‑density, furnace‑ready output with a compact footprint, Hardox‑reinforced grinding chambers, and modular construction. Together, BRAVO and REDMILL create a complete front‑end and back‑end processing solution for yards requiring clean, high‑quality ferrous output.

Across all product lines, TAURUS machines are built for continuous operation, low maintenance, and long‑term durability. Their designs emphasize structural strength, hydraulic efficiency, and ease of service—qualities that reduce downtime and extend machine life. From pre‑shredding and conditioning to compression, shearing, and final size reduction, TAURUS equipment covers the full scrap‑processing workflow with systems engineered to meet the demands of modern recycling operations.

By combining TAURUS engineering with ERS integration capabilities, U.S. recyclers gain access to a more complete, efficient, and future‑ready scrap‑processing solution. This partnership strengthens the availability of high‑performance European machinery in the United States while ensuring that customers receive the local support, system design expertise, and long‑term service they need to operate at maximum productivity.
