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.

Key Advantages for a Turnkey Metal Recycling Solution
• Complete integrated solution, delivers the whole flow as a functional whole, without integrating separate pieces of equipment.
• Components designed to work together, shredder, transport, separators, and control sized and integrated for balanced throughputs.
• Shredder for reduction, reduction of bulky metal waste to processable fractions.
• Magnetic and eddy current separation, automatic recovery of ferrous and non-ferrous metals.
• Unified control, a single PLC control system coordinates the entire flow.
• Commissioning as a whole, the system is tested and commissioned as a functional assembly.
• Pure, sellable fractions, iron, steel, copper, aluminum separated at high purity.
• Unified support, a single supplier for the whole system, simplifying maintenance and parts.

Applications for a Complete Metal Processing System
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.
Processable Materials
| Material | Notes |
|---|---|
| Mixed scrap iron | Various ferrous waste |
| Car bodies and auto components | After ELV pre-treatment |
| Appliances | After degassing |
| Industrial metal waste | From production and demolition |
| Various mixed metal waste | Ferrous and non-ferrous mixed together |
How It Works
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.
Frequently Asked Questions
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.
