Customer Background

The Brazilian customer operates a scrap yard serving construction projects and steel plants in Brazil.
With rapid infrastructure development and long-distance inland transportation, logistics cost had become a major challenge for handling steel scrap and rebar waste.

Local Pain Points

• Long-distance inland transport
  Low-density scrap meant higher freight cost per ton.

• Limited yard space
  Loose steel scrap reduced storage efficiency.

• Rising environmental pressure
  Recycling operations needed to align with Brazil’s sustainability and compliance requirements.

Our Solution

We delivered a high-density hydraulic metal baler designed for the Brazilian market:

• Strong structure for heavy steel and rebar scrap

• High bale density to maximize truck and container loading

• Stable hydraulic system for long operating hours

• Low maintenance design, suitable for local operating conditions

Results After Installation

✔ Transportation cost per ton significantly reduced
✔ Yard storage efficiency improved, freeing up valuable space
✔ Higher scrap value achieved when selling to steel mills
✔ Recycling operation became more compliant and sustainable

“By increasing bale density, scrap is no longer a logistics burden but a profit advantage.”
