Material Handling
Cart Tippers
To simplify you material handling operations, a dumper will lift and dump materials from carts, bins, gaylords, and other containers to feed other processing machinery. Ideally suited for loading sorting conveyors or feeding a conveyor, shredder, compactor, or other processing equipment. Cart dumpers increase worker productivity, reduce back-strain and improve processing efficiency. We offer a range of standard units, as well as full design services. We provide standard power unit assemblies or we can build to our customer’s specifications. Cart dumpers are versatile, efficient, easy loading, and economical.
Wire and Banding Choppers
H. West Equipment carries tough, economical scrap choppers that can reduce cumbersome waste banding and wire into “recycler friendly” scrap.
Our fully engineered choppers are for use at loading docks, warehouses or and manufacturing floors. Just load the material (banding) into the infeed funnel. The feedworks (pinch rolls) will then grab the material and pull it into the rotating knife path. The feedworks will continue to pull until the material is consumed or the operator stops the chopper. We offer a wide range of choppers suitable for various industrial usages. Banding choppers provide increased workplace safety, reduced housekeeping costs, and convert scrap materials into increased cash flow.
Wire Strippers
Increase your revenue and profits on scrap wire and cable! Wire strippers are designed to strip rubber and plastic coverings from copper and aluminum wire and cable. Our heavy-duty strippers handle any length wire ranging from 1/8” to 2 1/2” in diameter. Designed for efficient, easy and dependable operation with heavy structural construction, direct drive, hardened cutter blades, and sealed ball bearings.
Can Processing
Make your recycling more profitable by sorting aluminum cans from steel and other contaminants before you buy. Simply dump your aluminum cans into the large feed hopper and allow the heavy duty permanent magnetic head pulley to separate steel cans and contaminants. Standard models are built for high throughput, capable of sorting 3,000 to 9,000 lbs. per hour. We also can custom-build can processors to meet your unique needs.

Can Flattener-Blowers
Our can flatteners offer durable construction and easy maintenance combined with trusted H.West Equipment support to ensure products are built to last. Whether you’re a high or low-volume processor, we have the ultra-efficient flattener/blower for your operation. Whether combined with a flattener or as a standalone unit, our can blower can be used to transport loose, un-flattened or flattened cans into a trailer or other container. Field-proven blower design is easy to service, built for long life and low maintenance.
Can Densifiers
Can densifiers are the simply the most cost effective means of compacting aluminum cans into ultra-dense form. Our rugged, innovative densifiers are tried and tested to deliver ultimate reliability, low-maintenance operation and excellent results. Several models are available which can provide production up to 2,400 pounds per hour of un-flattened cans. Machines have fully automatic cycle that adjusts for whole or mixed cans, allowing for maximum throughput and eliminating the need for constant attendance. All machine functions are operated by a solid state, programmable controller. Maintenance needs are low due to rugged construction and minimal moving parts . All moving parts are fully enclosed for operational safety.
Plastic Perforator
Reduce plastic bulk and increase the productivity of your baler with the PERF-5. The PERF-5 is a rugged and efficient plastic perforator/crusher designed to tear and flatten PET containers. The tearing feature limits spring back, allowing
for easier storing and denser baling.
DESIGNED FOR PET AND HDPE
The PERF-5 is capable of processing over 900 lbs. of PET plastic per hour. A 24” PVC conveyor belt with 3” cleats carries the containers into a crushing chamber with a rotating steel drum. Knives on the drum perforate while crushing the plastic container, discharging the plastic into a Gaylord box or baler.
ADVANCED DESIGN
The PERF-5 makes use of REM®’s proven machine design with the same rugged steel construction used in our other recycling machines. Standard features such as a heavy-duty conveyor belt with permanently bonded cleats and quick release mechanism on the pressure plate make this machine a low maintenance, long-lasting addition to your business.
EPS Densifier
By offering select sizes of pre-breakers and compactors, we can provide the most economical solutions to reduce your EPS materials to a size that can be efficiently compacted into easy to handle logs. The compaction screw removes the air and the memory from the EPS material creating a solid log of polystyrene with densities of 20 to 25 lbs. per cubic foot, achieving up to a 50 to 1 reduction. The extreme volume reduction accomplished in this process provides monumental savings in handling, floor space, transportation and disposal
