Recycling scrap metal is an enormous business across the United States. From the 
56 billion aluminum cans recycled last year, to the millions of tons of ferrous 
and non-ferrous metals sorted, sheared, shredded, torched and baled at 
processing plants, the metal recycling business is booming. Compactors play an 
important role in this recycling process. This is because achieving higher 
density during compaction equates to larger loads that can be transported from 
processing plants to steel mills, saving processers money.
SP makes long 
lasting, fast cycling pre-crushers and metal compactors designed to maximize 
efficiency and reliability. Our systems can include fluid collection systems 
designed to separate oil from metal turnings and chips. Also, our closed 
compaction containers eliminate the potential for ground water contamination in 
and around metal processing areas. Most importantly, our equipment is backed by 
the best warranty in the industry and our engineers can address any 
site-specific installation concerns.
