Vehicle Recycling

What is Vehicle Recycling Equipment?

Vehicle recycling equipment helps auto recyclers, scrap yards, dismantlers, and salvage operations safely drain, dismantle, depollute, separate, and process end-of-life vehicles.

At the end of their useful life, vehicles still have value as a source of spare parts and scrap  metal. About 10 to 15 million cars are scrapped each year in the US, more than 95% of which enter a recycling infrastructure. As a result, over 75% of automotive materials are profitably recovered by auto parts dismantlers, remanufacturers, and material recyclers.

Each machine helps improve safety, speed, and recovery value during vehicle dismantling and recycling.
