Specialist repairs to metal recycling equipment
With over a decade of experience supporting the metal recycling sector, Blaker Engineering provides specialist repair, refurbishment and fabrication services for equipment used in metal recycling and metal processing plants.
We are retained by a busy metal processing yard in West Sussex, where we support day-to-day operations by responding to breakdowns, extending the working life of performance-critical equipment and helping to keep processing lines operational in demanding environments.
This first-hand, on-site experience gives us a clear understanding of the pressures faced by recycling operators, where unplanned downtime can have an immediate and hard-hitting commercial impact.
Repairs and refurbishment for metal recycling equipment
We carry out repairs and refurbishment across a wide range of equipment used throughout metal recycling processing lines.
This includes work on, but is not limited to:
- Eddy current rotors
- Inclined trough augers
- Shredder shafts
- Conveyors and shaker units
- Hoppers and associated structural components
- Processing line accessories and ancillary equipment
Each repair is assessed on a case-by-case basis, with a focus on restoring performance, improving reliability and extending service life wherever practical.
Mobile plant and material handling equipment repairs
In addition to fixed plant equipment, we regularly repair and refurbish mobile and
material-handling machinery used within recycling yards and processing facilities.
This includes work on equipment such as:
Our approach is focused on returning equipment to a safe, fully operational condition
as efficiently as possible, helping operators avoid unnecessary replacement costs and
extended downtime.
Repair, refurbishment or fabrication
Where repair or refurbishment is not viable, we can manufacture replacement components
or fabricate bespoke items to suit existing equipment and site-specific requirements.
This flexible approach allows recycling operators to:
- Maintain established processing lines
- Avoid long lead times associated with new equipment
- Extend the value of existing plant investment
Proven experience in busy recycling environments
Our repair experience is grounded in active metal recycling environments rather than
occasional or theoretical site work. Being retained by a busy metal processing yard
means our repairs are tested daily in demanding operating conditions. This insight
directly informs the quality and durability of the work we deliver.
Below are some examples of our work:
- Eddy current rotor refurbishment
- New inclined trough auger
- Emergency repair work at a metal fragmentiser mill
- Repairs to Bano shredder shaft
