Balers & Shredders for Scrap Metal Recycling
Scrap metal recycling operations require equipment that can handle tough, high-density materials at high volume - and keep running shift after shift. HMS supplies two ram balers, shredders, and material handling equipment to nonferrous metal recyclers, scrap yards, and metal processing facilities across North America.
Whether you're processing aluminum cans, copper wire, brass, or mixed nonferrous scrap, HMS works with your team to specify the right baler configuration, density, and throughput for your operation - and backs it with in-house service and parts support after the sale.

HMS equipment is built for the full range of nonferrous and mixed metal scrap streams processed by recyclers and scrap yards - from lightweight aluminum to dense copper and brass.
Equipment for Scrap Metal Recycling
Metal Recycling Equipment
We Supply & Service
For nonferrous metal recycling, bale density and equipment durability are everything - denser bales mean more value per load, and equipment downtime in a scrap operation is costly. HMS supplies and services equipment built specifically for the demands of metal recycling, backed by our in-house service team for long-term reliability.
Two Ram Balers
The industry standard for high-volume nonferrous metal baling. Two ram balers deliver maximum bale density on aluminum, copper, brass, and mixed nonferrous scrap - engineered for durability and continuous operation in demanding scrap yard environments.
View Two Ram Balers →Shredders
Industrial shredders for size reduction of nonferrous scrap, wire, and mixed metal streams ahead of baling or processing. Increases material value and streamlines downstream sorting and baling operations.
View Shredders →Horizontal Manual-Tie Balers
A cost-effective baling option for lower-volume nonferrous operations or facilities processing a mix of metals and other recyclables. Reliable performance across diverse material types.
View Manual-Tie Balers →Vertical Balers
Compact baling for smaller scrap operations and buy-back centers handling aluminum cans, light gauge sheet, and mixed nonferrous material at lower daily volumes.
View Vertical Balers →Refurbished Equipment
Quality reconditioned two ram balers and shredders rebuilt by HMS technicians - inspected, upgraded, and field-ready. Strong performance at a lower capital cost for scrap operations watching their margins.

Equipment FAQs
For high-volume nonferrous scrap - aluminum, copper, brass, and mixed metals - a two ram baler is typically the best fit. Two ram balers deliver the highest bale density and are built for continuous operation in demanding scrap yard conditions. For lighter streams like aluminum cans and UBC, a horizontal auto-tie baler is a strong option. HMS works with your team to match the right baler to your material mix and throughput requirements.
Yes. HMS supplies equipment for the full range of nonferrous material streams - aluminum cans and sheet, copper wire and tubing, brass, zinc, lead, stainless steel, and mixed nonferrous scrap. The right baler configuration depends on your material type, volume, and bale density requirements, which HMS helps you determine during the equipment selection process.
Denser bales mean more material per load, which directly reduces transportation costs and increases the value per truckload delivered to the mill or processor. Two ram balers produce the highest density bales on nonferrous scrap, maximizing your return per ton. Estimate your freight savings and payback with our Baler ROI Calculator, or contact HMS to run the numbers on higher-density equipment relative to your current operation.
