Penn Recycling utilizes a variety of equipment in producing a non-ferrous product acceptable to the applicable consumer’s size and quality specifications. Processes include baling, shredding, shearing, cable stripping, sorting and packaging.

A high density automated horizontal baler is utilized to package large volumes of segregated material to consumer standards. Materials are conveyed into a baling chamber where they are sheared, densified, automatically tied and ejected. The finished product is inspected for contaminants or off-spec components and warehoused pending shipment to the appropriate consumer. These bales weigh anywhere from 1000 to 3500 pounds and are approximately 5 feet long and 3 feet wide.


Other materials such as copper and brass are sorted, cleaned of any iron or other non-metallics and containerized in corrugated Gaylord boxes. These boxes are then warehoused pending shipment.

Some materials such as stainless steel are processed through an 800-ton hydraulic guillotine shear and shipped to market in bulk dump trailers.

Materials are shipped via truck to mills and smelters throughout the East and Midwest United States.
