An Oregon recycling company has selected the ENERPAT AMB-L2014-250 hydraulic metal baler for processing mattress springs. With a processing requirement of approximately 4–5 tons per hour, the customer needed an efficient way to compress bulky spring materials, reduce their volume, and make storage and transportation easier.
The project also reflects how ENERPAT's experience with U.S. recycling companies, professional engineering support, and local after-sales service helped build confidence with a new customer.
Customer Background
Based in Oregon, USA, the customer operates in the recycling and recyclable materials trading industry, handling a wide range of dry recyclable materials.
Its business includes the recycling and trading of:
Cardboard
Carpet
Plastic
Scrap metal
Other dry waste materials
Among these materials, mattress springs are currently an important application for the customer. Because springs are bulky and difficult to handle efficiently, the customer was looking for a suitable metal baler to reduce material volume before storage and transportation.
The Challenge: Compressing Bulky Mattress Springs
The customer's main requirement was straightforward: compress mattress springs efficiently while maintaining a processing capacity of around 4–5 tons per hour.
The loose spring material takes up considerable space, making transportation and storage less efficient. A suitable baling system could significantly reduce the volume of the material and create more manageable bales for subsequent handling.
The customer therefore needed a machine capable of handling mattress springs while also having reliable technical support available in the United States.
How the Customer Found ENERPAT
The customer was introduced to ENERPAT through another U.S. recycling company that had already purchased and used ENERPAT equipment for compressing mattress springs.
This existing customer experience provided a direct reference for a similar application and gave the Oregon company an opportunity to learn about ENERPAT's equipment from an actual user.
After the initial contact, ENERPAT engineers visited the customer's facility to understand its material, processing requirements, and operating conditions. The engineers then recommended a suitable configuration based on the customer's actual application.
The Solution: ENERPAT AMB-L2014-250
For this project, ENERPAT selected the AMB-L2014-250 door-type hydraulic metal baler.
The machine is well suited to applications involving bulky metal materials, including mattress springs and scrap metal. Its large compression chamber allows loose spring materials to be compressed into denser bales, helping the customer make better use of storage space and improve material handling.
Equipment Information
Model: ENERPAT AMB-L2014-250
Type: Door-type hydraulic metal baler
Application: Mattress springs and scrap metal
Current Material: Mattress springs
Processing Capacity: Approximately 4–5 tons per hour
Main Objective: Reduce material volume and improve storage and transportation efficiency
Engineering Support and Local Service
The equipment selection was supported by ENERPAT's engineering team, which evaluated the customer's application through an on-site visit before the final solution was determined.
Another important consideration was after-sales service in the United States.
The customer had access to a supplier with local U.S. service capabilities, providing a more convenient channel for technical assistance and support when needed. Combined with ENERPAT's previous experience serving U.S. recycling companies, this helped address the customer's concerns about long-term equipment support.
Project Result
The customer is currently using the ENERPAT AMB-L2014-250 to process approximately 4–5 tons of mattress springs per hour.
By compressing loose mattress springs into denser bales, the customer can reduce the volume of recovered material and make subsequent storage and transportation more manageable.
The project demonstrates the importance of matching a baler's configuration to the actual material and operating requirements rather than selecting equipment based solely on general specifications.
Conclusion
From a recommendation by an existing U.S. customer to an on-site engineering assessment and equipment selection, this project was built around a specific recycling application: compressing mattress springs at approximately 4–5 tons per hour.
The ENERPAT AMB-L2014-250 provides the Oregon recycling company with a practical solution for reducing the volume of bulky spring materials, while ENERPAT's engineering expertise and U.S. after-sales support provide additional assistance throughout the equipment's operation.
