How We Improved Mixed Aluminum Scrap Recycling with a 315 Ton Front Discharge Metal Baler

Customer Profile 

We are a scrap recycling company based in Turkey, mainly processing mixed aluminum scrap, including aluminum profiles, extrusion offcuts, sheets, and mixed non-ferrous scrap collected from industrial and construction sources.

Our customers include local aluminum processors and secondary smelters, who require clean, dense, and well-compacted aluminum bales for efficient melting and transportation.

Our Challenges Before Using the 315 Ton Baler

Before upgrading our equipment, we faced several serious problems in daily operation:

  • Low bulk density of mixed aluminum scrap
    Loose aluminum occupied too much yard space and significantly increased transportation costs.

  • Unstable bale shape and density
    Our previous low-tonnage baler could not produce consistent aluminum bales, which caused problems during loading and unloading.

  • Inefficient material handling
    Side-discharge balers made forklift operation slow and complicated in our linear yard layout.

  • Higher logistics cost per ton
    Poor truck utilization reduced our competitiveness when selling aluminum scrap.

Why We Chose a 315 Ton Front Discharge Metal Baler?

After comparing several options, we decided to invest in a 315 ton front discharge hydraulic metal baler, as it best matched the requirements of the Turkish non-ferrous scrap recycling market.

The key reasons for our decision were:

  • High pressing force suitable for mixed aluminum scrap

  • Front discharge bale design for easy stacking and forklift handling

  • Stable hydraulic system for continuous operation

  • Heavy-duty structure designed for industrial recycling environments

Results After Installation

Since installing the 315 Ton Front Discharge Metal Baler, our operation has improved significantly:

  • Much higher aluminum bale density
    The machine produces compact and uniform aluminum bales, suitable for direct delivery to aluminum smelters.

  • Reduced transportation cost
    Each truck now carries more material, reducing logistics cost per ton.

  • Better yard organization
    Front discharge allows straight-line bale handling, making our site cleaner and more efficient.

  • Higher productivity with lower labor dependency
    The baler operates smoothly with fewer operators, improving safety and efficiency.


Our Experience with the Machine

“The 315 ton front discharge baler has completely changed how we handle mixed aluminum scrap.
The bale density is consistent, handling is easy, and transport efficiency has improved significantly.
It fully meets the expectations of the Turkish aluminum recycling industry.”

Conclusion

For scrap recyclers in Turkey handling mixed aluminum scrap, the 315 Ton Front Discharge Hydraulic Metal Baler is a reliable and efficient solution.
It helps recyclers improve bale quality, logistics efficiency, and overall profitability in a highly competitive market.
