Hydraulic scrap baling press "Asper"

The world’s first metal recycling machine entered the market

Waldemar tried to gain a foothold in the scrap processing industry a few years later. His father's hydraulics expertise was invaluable in this respect. This expertise was successfully put to use when the world's first hydraulically operated scrap press was developed. Lindemann delivered it to a customer in England in 1923, five years following the death of Robert Lindemann. It helped the company make its international breakthrough. With the rise of industrialization, the volume of scrap metal that needed to be packaged for transport to the smelting furnace also increased. This was followed by the first mobile scrap press in 1926 and the first end press. Lindemann began building its first large machines at the end of 1928. The "Asper" hydraulic scrap press already measured six meters at the time.
