Turnkey Plants for Metal Recycling: The Excellence of FOR REC

6 Jun 2025  |
In the context of the circular economy and sustainable resource management, FOR REC S.p.A. stands out as a reliable and innovative partner in the design and construction of turnkey plants for metal recycling. From the initial consultancy phase to plant commissioning, FOR REC supports each client with tailor-made solutions designed to meet real needs in terms of efficiency, continuity, and performance.

Technology Serving Recycling

FOR REC plants are engineered for the treatment and recovery of metal scrap, electric motors, cables, and aluminum, transforming waste materials into high-value resources. The technological core of these systems lies in complete recycling lines made up of:

  • Heavy-duty industrial shredders
  • Rotary shears for volume reduction
  • Hammer mills for material refinement
  • Advanced separation systems for material sorting

Each component is designed to work in synergy with the others, ensuring a smooth, reliable, and high-performance process.

Aluminum: A Material Worth Saving

Among recyclable materials, aluminum is one of the most valuable and sustainable. Recycling aluminum saves up to 95% of the energy needed for primary production, without altering its chemical or physical properties. FOR REC’s aluminum recycling lines are ideal for obtaining a homogeneous, compact outputready for new industrial applications.

Ferrous and Non-Ferrous Metals: Solutions for Every Need

Properly treated metal scrap can be transformed into dense, uniform material ready to re-enter production processes. FOR REC shears and hammer mills work together to reduce scrap volume, facilitate transport, and enhance recycling efficiency.
The result? A high-quality secondary raw material with minimal environmental impact and strong economic value.

Cables and Electric Motors: Maximum Output, Maximum Purity

FOR REC has developed dedicated lines for the treatment of electric cables and motors, designed to maximize recovery of valuable materials such as copper and steel. Through a series of stages — coarse shredding, refinement, and separation — it is possible to obtain a high-purity output, ready for reintegration into production or resale on the market.

An Industrial Approach With a Sustainable Vision

FOR REC goes beyond supplying equipment: it offers a comprehensive, customized approach, where every project begins by listening to the customer and is developed through technical know-how, design flexibility, and continuous innovation.
The goal is to create solutions that not only optimize operations, but actively contribute to more responsible resource management and a more sustainable future.
