Industrial Waste Recycling Equipment

Industrial Waste Processing Equipment for Mixed & Hard-to-Handle Materials

REI designs integrated recycling systems for all types of industrial waste processing that can combine shredders, balers, conveyors, dewatering units, and material-handling equipment to transform these challenging waste streams into manageable, recoverable resources. Built for MRFs, manufacturers, distribution facilities, and product destruction operations, our solutions improve throughput, reduce hauling and disposal costs, reclaim valuable space, and create cleaner, safer workflows in demanding industrial environments.

Built for Mixed, Contaminated, and Hard-to-Process Industrial Waste Streams

Industrial waste varies widely in density, moisture, composition, and contamination. REI bulk waste recycling solutions are built to handle this complexity with reinforced cutting chambers, abrasion-resistant components, and slow-speed, high-torque drives ideal for processing everything from foam packaging and building products to automotive components and municipal waste streams. These rugged machines provide the reliability and throughput required for MRF operations, secure product destruction, and high-volume recycling systems.

Equipment Commonly Used in Industrial Waste Recycling Systems

The equipment below covers all types of industrial waste recycling systems. Whether you’re processing metals, construction debris, e-waste, packaging scrap, or mixed production waste, these machines work together to move, size, sort, and prepare material for downstream recovery or disposal. 

Compact and compress loose industrial scrap, including plastics, textiles, packaging trim, and light metals, into dense, uniform bales that reduce storage needs and lower handling and transport costs.

Ideal for continuous industrial waste streams, these balers deliver high-density, mill-ready bales that maximize payloads and keep production environments clear of accumulating scrap.

Break down a wide range of industrial materials like metal offcuts, e-waste, plastics, composites, C&D debris and much more, into consistent sizes for easier sorting, screening, or downstream recovery processes.

Efficiently move lightweight waste such as films, fibers, trim scrap, and fine particulate away from production lines to centralized recycling points, improving safety and housekeeping.

Cut through oversized rolls, rigid sheets, and heavily wound materials used in packaging, textiles, and manufacturing, allowing bulk waste to be resized for shredding or baling.

Automate the movement and staging of heavy, mixed, or contaminated industrial waste. These systems support manual and automated sorting, plus consistent, controlled feeding into shredders or screens.

Remove liquids from food waste, packaging scrap, pulped materials, and contaminated solids to reduce disposal weight, lower landfill fees, and improve downstream material handling.

An economical way to expand or upgrade your industrial recycling capabilities, offering reliable balers, shredders, conveyors, and sortation systems at reduced investment without sacrificing performance.
