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.

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.

Common Questions

Scrap Metal Recycling
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.
