Investing in a metal recycling capacity is simpler when you receive a complete solution, not separate pieces of equipment to integrate. A metal waste recycling system turnkey delivers a complete integrated flow, shredder, transport, magnetic separation, eddy current separator, and control system, designed, delivered, and commissioned as a single functional whole, ready to process mixed metal waste into pure fractions from the first day of operation.
A turnkey metal waste recycling system is the choice of investors who want a functional recycling capacity without integrating equipment from different suppliers themselves. The integrated design ensures that all components work together optimally, with balanced throughputs and unified control.

A turnkey metal waste recycling system is the choice of new investors in metal recycling, of operators who expand their capacity with a new complete line, and of those who prefer a single responsible source for the whole system. The main advantage is simplicity: instead of integrating equipment from different suppliers, with the risk of incompatibilities and unclear responsibilities, they receive a complete functional system from a single source.
Metal waste management is regulated at the European level; a metal waste recycling system delivered in Europe is designed in line with the requirements of Directive 2008/98/EC on waste. For integration into a complete metal recovery strategy, see also the complete industry solutions.
The advantage of integration is that all components are sized to work together: the shredder's throughput matches the separators' capacity, the conveyors transport the material without jams, and the control system coordinates everything. This optimal integration, difficult to achieve when assembling equipment from different suppliers, ensures a balanced flow and maximum yield.
Unified control simplifies operation: a single PLC system coordinates the shredder, the transport, and the separators, with a single operating interface. The operator sees the state of the entire system from a single point, without juggling separate control systems. This unification reduces operational complexity and errors.
Commissioning as a whole is a major advantage: the system is tested as a functional assembly before delivery and fully commissioned on site. There is no difficult phase of integrating separate pieces of equipment, with mutual adjustments and troubleshooting of incompatibilities; the system works as a whole from the first day.
Unified support from a single supplier simplifies maintenance and the supply of parts: a single point of contact for the whole system, compatible spare parts, and a support team that knows the entire flow. This is a major practical difference compared with a system assembled from equipment from different suppliers, each with its own support and parts.

1. The mixed metal waste is fed into the system's shredder.
2. The shredder reduces the material to processable fractions.
3. The integrated conveyors transport the material to the separation stage.
4. The magnetic separator extracts the ferrous fractions (iron, steel).
5. The eddy current separator separates copper and aluminum from the non-ferrous fraction.
6. The pure fractions are collected separately; the PLC system coordinates the entire flow.
The unified control system coordinates all components and signals anomalies from a single point. A turnkey metal waste recycling system produces pure metal fractions at consistent quality, working as an optimized integrated assembly from the first day of operation.
What does "turnkey" mean for a metal waste recycling system?
Turnkey means that you receive a complete, ready-to-use solution: design, integrated equipment, transport, installation, and commissioning as a functional whole. You do not have to integrate equipment from different suppliers yourself; the system works as an optimized assembly from the first day.
What is the advantage over buying equipment separately?
A turnkey system has components sized to work together optimally, with balanced throughputs and unified control. When assembling equipment from different suppliers, you risk incompatibilities, unbalanced throughputs, and unclear responsibilities. The turnkey solution eliminates these risks and simplifies support to a single source.
What capacity can the system have?
The capacity is configured according to the project, from medium to large industrial capacities. All components are sized together for the target throughput, ensuring a balanced flow without jams. The exact capacity is established based on the volume and type of metal waste processed.
Can the system be expanded later?
Yes. A turnkey system can be expanded with additional modules: precision separators for specific fractions, additional shredding capacity, or refining stages. The new modules integrate with the existing system, with the initial design taking the expansion possibilities into account.

„We do stainless-steel metal fabrication dedicated to restaurant kitchens. The UZINEX equipment was a radical change: modernization, an increase in production and quality.”
„I had no idea, I was completely clueless. And you started to explain to me. You told me what technologies to choose, what packaging to produce, what would work better on the market.”
„We use a single person who can operate 3-4 machines. Before, we needed 3-4 people to do the same thing.”
„We have multiple challenges in making special structures that serve our systems, and the laser welding machine solution helped us enormously.”
„Laser welding on stainless is something else, it's a completely different thing. The quality of the machines is undeniable: the samples say it all.”
„With Uzinex, I felt very well protected by the assistance they provided. When you have a whole shift stalled and you need someone to answer quickly, it matters enormously.”
„The proof that everything went well is that the equipment now works. We have over three years of experience with no problems. Or when there were issues, there was support. We're satisfied with the collaboration.”
„I can do even 5 boxes for one person, I can also do 10 boxes. Which other firms can't do. That is, they'd have to change dies, set up a whole 12-hour affair.”
„Whether I called at 2 in the morning or at 9 in the morning, the problems got solved. We're satisfied and we'll work together again.”
„A good, smooth collaboration. We always had support and help.”

Six technology directions we integrate turnkey: from plug & play IIoT sensors, to cobots, predictive maintenance, optical inspection, MES connectivity and custom industrial software.
See in real time how much each machine produces and how long it sits idle. We fit sensors on any equipment, new or old, and within a few hours you have the OEE dashboard on your phone. No complex wiring, no production downtime. The first concrete step toward digitalization, with ROI visible from the very first month.
Solve your labor shortage without tripling your costs. The cobot works safely alongside your people (palletizing, feeding the CNC, welding) while you recover the investment in 12-18 months. Prices 30-40% below European distributors, with installation and programming included from us.
Stop waiting for things to break. Our algorithms analyze sensor data and tell you exactly which part will fail and when, and we bring it to your production line before the breakdown. Zero unplanned downtime, zero contractual penalties, complete operational peace of mind.
Eliminate defects before they reach the customer. Our cameras inspect every part at speeds no operator can match, detecting sub-millimeter defects. They mount onto your existing line, with no modifications. Ideal if you produce for export and have strict quality clauses.
Connect your machines to your office, regardless of brand or age. Our gateway automatically translates the data from any machine into your ERP's format: no manual entry, no paper forms, no human error. The manager sees production live, the operator receives digital instructions.
Have a process that no off-the-shelf software can solve? We build custom industrial applications: from tailored SCADA panels and HMI interfaces, to production planning systems, lot traceability and automated reporting. The code is yours, it runs on your servers, with no monthly subscriptions or vendor lock-in.
