18.5kW Hydraulic Scrap Metal Baler For Aluminum Cans And Light Metal Recycling

18.5kW Hydraulic Scrap Metal Baler for Aluminum Cans and Light Metal Recycling

The Y83/T-125Z Hydraulic Metal Baler is a practical scrap metal compression machine designed for scrap recycling yards, metal processing factories, waste material collection centers, and small to medium steel processing sites. It is mainly used to cold press scrap steel, scrap iron, metal offcuts, light metal waste, aluminum scrap, copper scrap, and other compressible metal waste into compact rectangular bales.

This model is equipped with 1250kN nominal force, a 1400×700×600mm compression chamber, and a bale size of 250–450×300×300mm. The bale density can reach more than 1800kg/m³. For customers who want to improve scrap storage density, reduce transport space waste, and improve site management efficiency, this hydraulic scrap baling press is a practical choice.

The Y83/T-125Z uses push-out bale discharge, allowing the finished bale to be discharged smoothly for easier collection and transfer. PLC semi-automatic control makes operation more convenient than pure manual control, while still keeping the machine simple and easy to maintain. With 18.5kW power, the machine provides a good balance between compression performance, energy consumption, and operating cost.

Cause

Many scrap metal recycling companies face the same problem in daily operation: the scrap itself has value, but loose and irregular materials take too much space and increase storage, handling, and transportation costs.

Common problems include:

Loose scrap steel and metal offcuts occupy too much yard space
Low material density reduces truck loading efficiency
Manual sorting takes more time and labor
Light metal scrap is irregular and difficult to transport in bulk
Small recycling yards need better turnover speed but may not need a large machine
Uncompressed scrap is difficult to manage and makes the site look disorganized

For customers generating scrap metal every day, without a suitable metal baler machine, scrap management cost can continue increasing.

Solution

The Y83/T-125Z hydraulic metal baler compresses loose scrap metal into regular, high-density bales. The finished bale section is 300×300mm, which is compact and convenient for forklift handling, manual assisted movement, stacking, and truck loading.

The machine adopts PLC semi-automatic control, allowing operators to complete compression, bale forming, and bale discharge more easily. The push-out discharge structure is suitable for continuous processing and helps reduce the difficulty of manual bale removal.

For customers handling light scrap steel, scrap iron, metal offcuts, non-ferrous scrap, and mixed metal waste, the Y83/T-125Z helps turn loose and bulky scrap into regular, dense, and transport-friendly metal bales.

Specifications

Application

The Y83/T-125Z hydraulic metal baler is suitable for many scrap metal recycling and compression applications.

It can be used in scrap recycling yards for scrap steel, scrap iron, and mixed metal waste.
It is suitable for metal processing factories to compress stamping offcuts, cutting waste, and light metal scrap.
It helps waste material collection centers compress loose scrap into regular transportable bales.
It is suitable for non-ferrous metal recycling companies handling aluminum scrap, copper scrap, and other compressible materials.
It can help small and medium steel processing companies reduce scrap storage pressure.
It is suitable for recycling companies that want to improve loading density and reduce transportation cost.

This push-out metal baler is especially suitable for customers with medium processing capacity, limited working space, and requirements for simple operation and easy maintenance.

How It Works

During operation, scrap metal is loaded into the compression chamber. After the hydraulic system starts, the cylinder drives the pressing head to compress the material into a high-density rectangular bale. After the bale is formed, the push-out system discharges the bale for easy collection and transfer.

The whole process is cold pressing, without heating the material. PLC semi-automatic control reduces manual operation steps and makes the machine more suitable for daily use in recycling yards and metal processing factories. The main value of the machine is to improve scrap density, reduce loose scrap storage, and make loading and transportation easier.

How To Choose

When choosing a hydraulic metal baler, buyers should consider scrap type, daily processing volume, bale size, discharge method, and operation preference.

If the main materials are light scrap steel, scrap iron, metal offcuts, aluminum scrap, or copper scrap, and the required capacity is around 1500–2000kg/h, the Y83/T-125Z is a suitable model.

If the customer needs smaller bales for easier handling and stacking, the 300×300mm bale section is practical.
If the customer wants to reduce manual operation, PLC semi-automatic control is more convenient than hand valve control.
If stable bale discharge is required, the push-out structure is suitable for continuous production.
If the scrap is thicker, harder, or the daily processing volume is higher, a larger hydraulic metal baler may be recommended.

WANSHIDA has more than 40 years of experience in hydraulic recycling machinery manufacturing. With our own factory and professional engineering team, we can provide customized solutions according to scrap type, bale requirements, local voltage, and site layout.

FAQ

Q1: What materials can the Y83/T-125Z process?
