Italian Excellence: Anticipating the Future of Recycling
Born in 1969 in the heart of the Italian mechanical district, Idromec Spa has built an international reputation in the design and production of Shear Balers and Metal Balers. Today, we are a reference point for thousands of recycling plants in Europe, America, and the Middle East.
From the beginning, the company combined mechanical expertise, technological vision, and industrial spirit. The result is robust, innovative solutions capable of efficiently tackling the most complex challenges in metal recovery.
A Patented Technology That Set the Standard
Already in the early 70s, Idromec marked a turning point with the introduction of an L-shaped box equipped with two hydraulic lids. This configuration allowed for compacting large volumes of scrap in reduced times—efficiency unthinkable back then. This patented system paved the way for a new generation of machines for volume reduction and metal cutting.
Even today, that patent represents a cornerstone of Idromec engineering, which continues to evolve with the introduction of new anti-wear materials, industrial electronics, and digital control systems.
A complete range of solutions for every operational need in scrap
With over 3000 units delivered worldwide, Idromec offers one of the most comprehensive machinery lines on the market: Shear Balers, 3-Compression Balers, Inclined Shears, as well as mobile and semi-mobile plants. We offer cutting forces from 500 to 2200 T and charging boxes up to 10 metres long.
Every machine is designed to maximize productivity, reduce consumption, and simplify maintenance, thanks to top-tier components (Bosch Rexroth, Parker, Siemens, Hardox, Cummins) and highly controlled in-house manufacturing.
Continuous Innovation for a Real Circular Economy
Among Idromec’s most distinctive solutions are:
- Semi-mobile Shear Baler: Easily transportable between different sites without foundations or dismantling, yet with the performance of a stationary plant.
- Model IHD-3C: A 3-Compression Baler for high-density bales (up to 3 t/m³) and productivity exceeding 40 tonnes/hour.
- “Flipper” System: A third hydraulic movement allowing the handling of particularly bulky and uneven scrap.
- Remote Monitoring: Allows operators to control production parameters and receive technical support remotely in real-time.
Quality, Support, Longevity
A distinctive trait of Idromec is the ability to offer spare parts even for machines installed over 30 years ago. This is possible thanks to a construction philosophy based on modularity, compatibility, and component standardization.
After-sales service is managed by an international network of qualified technicians, supported by a centralized warehouse ensuring rapid shipments and punctual interventions.
Global Presence, Italian Identity
With operational hubs and distributors in over 30 countries, Idromec continues to be synonymous with reliability and innovation in industrial recycling. We offer tailor-made solutions, project consultancy, and Industry 4.0 aligned technologies.
The Italian identity is reflected in every machine: attention to detail, structural solidity, and focus on the plant’s life cycle.
