REI’s industrial metal balers & shredders are engineered to reduce non-ferrous scrap with the power, torque, and durability required in demanding recycling operations. Built to process aluminum, copper, brass, and mixed scrap metal materials, our recycling solutions convert bulky scrap into uniform, manageable pieces ideal for downstream separation, smelting, and reuse. From fabrication shops and recycling yards to manufacturing and metal recovery facilities, REI solutions help lower handling costs, optimize storage space, and increase overall material value.
Designed for extreme-duty applications, REI’s balers & metal shredders feature reinforced cutting chambers, high-torque drives, abrasion-resistant wear components, and slow-speed, high-power operation capable of handling waste metals easily. These metal recycling machines reliably process everything from copper wire to aluminum scrap and mixed non-ferrous loads. With long service life and minimal maintenance requirements, REI recycling solutions deliver the consistent performance needed for metal recycling, recovery, and material preparation.
The equipment below is commonly integrated into metal and aluminum recycling systems to help facilities move, downsize, and prepare scrap for resale or smelting. Whether you handle light aluminum trim or heavier mixed metals, these machines streamline workflow, reduce manual labor, and support higher recovery value across your operation.
If you generate loose aluminum trim or light metal scrap, vertical balers help you get it under control. They compress scattered material into tight, manageable bales that free up floor space and make transport far more efficient.
For operations dealing with a steady flow of metal scrap, horizontal balers provide the throughput you need. They create consistent, high-density bales with minimal operator involvement.
When metal arrives in large rolls or thick sheet bundles, roll shears save time and effort. They slice tough materials down to size so you can feed them into shredders or balers without excessive manual prep work.
Keeping metal scrap flowing is essential for productivity. These systems automate the movement, staging, and separation of materials, helping you maintain consistent throughput while decreasing physical strain.
