2-3Ton/h Metal Baler Custom Voltage For Small And Medium Scrap Metal Recycling With Balanced Performance

2-3Ton/h Metal Baler Custom Voltage For Small And Medium Scrap Metal Recycling With Balanced Performance

Product Overview

The Y83-160 Metal Baler is a practical and cost-effective hydraulic baling machine designed for small and medium scrap recycling yards, metal collection stations, steel processing workshops, aluminum profile factories, and manufacturing plants. With a 1600 kN nominal force, this machine compresses loose scrap metal into dense, regular bales, making storage, loading, transportation, and resale much easier.

Compared with smaller balers, the Y83-160 provides a stronger compression force and a larger 1600 × 1000 × 800 mm compression chamber. It is suitable for customers who need higher capacity than entry-level machines but do not require a large automatic baling system. With a capacity of 2000–3000 kg/h, it can meet the daily processing needs of many recycling businesses and metal workshops.

The machine can produce bales with two common section sizes: 350 × 350 mm or 400 × 400 mm, with bale length from 400–600 mm. This makes the finished bales convenient for stacking, truck loading, container transportation, and furnace feeding. The bale density can reach more than 1800 kg/m³, helping customers reduce material volume and improve scrap resale value.

With turn-out bale discharge and hand valve control, the Y83-160 Metal Baler is easy to operate, simple to maintain, and reliable for daily recycling work. It is especially suitable for customers who want a durable hydraulic metal baler with stable performance and reasonable investment cost.

Cause

Loose scrap metal often creates problems for recycling companies and manufacturing workshops. Materials such as steel offcuts, aluminum profiles, copper scrap, cans, thin plates, and mixed metal waste occupy large storage areas when they are not compressed.

For many small and medium businesses, loose scrap brings several practical issues:

Storage space is quickly occupied by scattered scrap.

Truck loading efficiency is low due to poor material density.

Labor cost increases because workers need more time to handle loose materials.

The recycling yard looks disorganized and difficult to manage.

Loose scrap may receive a lower selling price than compact bales.

Small balers may not be powerful enough for higher daily volumes, while large automatic balers may require too much investment. The Y83-160 Metal Baler provides a balanced solution between capacity, cost, and machine size.

Solution

The Y83-160 Metal Baler compresses loose scrap into high-density rectangular bales. With a 1600 kN pressing force, it can handle common light and medium metal scrap efficiently. The larger compression chamber allows operators to feed more material each cycle, reducing repeated loading time and improving working efficiency.

The finished bales are compact, regular, and easy to stack. This helps customers save yard space, improve truck loading quantity, and make scrap materials easier to sell to recycling plants, steel mills, and foundries.

The 30 kW hydraulic power system provides stable compression performance while keeping energy consumption reasonable. The hand valve control system is simple and direct, allowing workers to operate the machine after basic training. For customers who prefer reliable mechanical operation instead of complicated automatic control, this model is a very suitable choice.

Specifications

Application

The Y83-160 Metal Baler is widely used in scrap recycling and metal processing industries. It is suitable for:

Scrap metal recycling yards

Small and medium metal collection stations

Aluminum profile recycling plants

Steel scrap processing workshops

Copper and non-ferrous metal recycling

Automotive repair and dismantling yards

Hardware manufacturing factories

Sheet metal processing factories

Foundries and metal trading companies

This hydraulic metal baler can process steel scrap, aluminum scrap, copper scrap, stainless steel offcuts, cans, metal sheets, profiles, thin plates, and mixed workshop waste.

How It Works

The operator loads loose scrap metal into the compression chamber. After feeding is completed, the hydraulic system drives the pressing plate to compress the scrap into a dense rectangular bale. During the baling process, loose materials are gradually pressed into a regular shape under strong hydraulic force.

After the compression cycle is finished, the bale is discharged through the turn-out system. The finished bale can then be stacked in the yard, loaded onto trucks, packed into containers, or transported directly to downstream recycling plants and steel mills.

The whole working process is simple, stable, and suitable for daily continuous operation.

How To Choose

Choose the Y83-160 Metal Baler if your business has the following needs:

Your expected capacity is around 2000–3000 kg/h.

You need stronger compression than a 125-ton small baler.

Your scrap materials include steel offcuts, aluminum profiles, copper scrap, cans, and sheet metal.

You want bales with 350 × 350 mm or 400 × 400 mm section size.

You prefer simple hand valve control and easy maintenance.

You need a machine with reasonable investment cost and stable daily performance.

For lower scrap volume, the Y83-125 model may be enough. For higher capacity or larger scrap size, models such as Y83-200, Y83-250, or Y83-315 can be considered.

FAQ

Q1: What materials can the Y83-160 Metal Baler process?
It can process light and medium scrap metal, including steel scrap, aluminum scrap, copper scrap, stainless steel offcuts, metal sheets, cans, profiles, and mixed non-ferrous metal waste.

Q2: What is the main advantage of the Y83-160 model?
The main advantage is its balanced performance. It offers stronger compression and higher capacity than smaller balers while still keeping operation simple and investment cost reasonable.

Q3: Which bale size should I choose, 350 × 350 mm or 400 × 400 mm?
The 350 × 350 mm bale is easier for smaller handling and stacking, while the 400 × 400 mm bale is suitable for customers who want larger bale volume and higher loading efficiency.

Q4: Is hand valve control suitable for daily operation?
Yes. Hand valve control is simple, reliable, and easy for workers to learn. It is suitable for customers who prefer straightforward operation and lower maintenance requirements.

Q5: Can the machine be customized?
Yes. The machine can be customized according to scrap type, bale size requirement, voltage, chamber size, discharge method, and customer working conditions.
