Egypt’s metal recycling sector has been growing steadily alongside the country’s infrastructure expansion and rising steel consumption. Scrap yards and recycling companies are increasingly seeking efficient equipment to reduce scrap volume, improve handling efficiency, and lower transportation costs. Hydraulic scrap metal balers have therefore become essential equipment for medium and large recycling operations.
A recycling company located in Egypt contacted Wanshida Hydraulic Machinery looking for a reliable baling system to process mixed steel scrap generated from local scrap collection and dismantling operations. Their facility required a machine capable of compressing bulky scrap into compact bales to simplify storage and transportation to downstream steel mills. The client also required stable hydraulic performance and straightforward operation suitable for daily industrial use.
Based on the client’s processing capacity and scrap characteristics, our team recommended the Y83-160 Hydraulic Scrap Metal Baler. After reviewing the specifications, the customer decided to purchase three units to operate simultaneously and improve overall processing efficiency.
