TAURUS shear balers are engineered for demanding scrap operations where hydraulic pressure directly influences cutting quality, cycle speed, and operational continuity. Operating at 6,100 psi / 420 bar, TAURUS machines deliver a level of force and efficiency rarely found in comparable equipment, making them a preferred choice for yards processing bulky, mixed, and demolition scrap.

This performance is the result of advanced structural engineering and high‑pressure hydraulic design. TAURUS integrates steel distribution panels, high‑pressure pumps and valves, flexible hoses, and SAE6000 flanges to maintain stability under extreme load. A key component of this reliability is the ARES welding method, which reinforces rigid pipe joints with external strengthening and structural filling. This approach ensures long‑term tightness and durability, even during continuous operation on difficult material.

Working in the 5,800–6,100 psi / 400–420 bar range allows TAURUS machines to apply more force with less energy. The system delivers only the pressure required at each stage of the cutting cycle, reducing failed cuts, lowering electrical absorption peaks, and shortening cycle times. Reduced oil circulation minimizes thermal stress, component wear, and maintenance costs while improving response speed and cycle consistency.

The combination of high‑pressure hydraulics, a self‑supporting frame, and advanced electronics ensures cleaner cuts, stronger continuity, and stable performance on elastic or bulky scrap. Each cycle generates more value with fewer losses and less downtime, supporting higher hourly productivity and lower operating costs.

ERS Engineered Recycling Systems Atlanta is the official TAURUS partner in North America, providing equipment, service, and support for scrap operations seeking high‑pressure cutting performance and long‑term reliability.

Modern TAURUS shear balers rely on a monobloc structure mounted on a welded steel‑beam frame, a design that improves performance, reliability, and long‑term operating cost. This construction eliminates complex civil works, requiring only a properly sized industrial concrete yard and allowing production to continue until installation. At end‑of‑life, the machine can be replaced without modifying the site or demolishing foundations.

The monobloc frame removes alignment issues, protects hydraulic piping inside the steel beams, and keeps the machine elevated for better accessibility and environmental protection. Faster commissioning becomes possible, with full installation and startup achieved within days. An integrated collection tank manages leachate and oil spills, simplifying cleaning and improving visibility of electrical and hydraulic lines.

Increased structural stiffness reduces vibration and deformation, while the lowered center of gravity enhances stability. The frame provides secure mounting points for the pre‑loading system and compression box guards, and supports anti‑vibration mounts that enable dynamic isolation—something multi‑element machines fixed directly to foundations cannot achieve without complex structures.

This frame is a true competitive advantage, delivering faster installation, full hydraulic protection, greater stability, easier maintenance, extended lifetime, and compatibility with advanced anti‑vibration systems. ERS continues to integrate TAURUS shear balers across the United States, combining Italian‑built strength with U.S.‑based technical service, installation, and long‑term support.

The BRAVO pre‑shredder from TAURUS, integrated by Engineered Recycling Systems (ERS), is designed to stabilize and strengthen modern scrap‑processing lines. Equipped with horizontally counter‑rotating shafts, BRAVO delivers a controlled coarse reduction of mixed scrap, bulky scrap, and end‑of‑life vehicles (ELVs), preparing material for efficient downstream processing.

By opening and loosening bales, BRAVO creates a steady, homogeneous feed into the primary shredder or hammer mill, reducing interruptions and improving overall system stability. This controlled flow helps eliminate explosion risks, increases operational safety, and minimizes unplanned downtime.

BRAVO also reduces energy consumption, prevents absorption peaks, and maintains consistent load conditions. These improvements extend the lifetime of wear plates, grids, and hammers, lowering maintenance costs and improving long‑term efficiency.

Even smaller shredders and mills benefit from BRAVO’s ability to deliver higher volumes with stable performance. Through the combined strengths of TAURUS engineering and ERS system integration, the BRAVO pre‑shredder provides a reliable, durable, and safety‑focused solution for operators seeking stronger throughput and reduced operational risk.
