Low Noise 1350kN Hydraulic Scrap Baling Machine for Steel and Copper Recycling

Product Overview

The Y83-135 Metal Baler is a compact hydraulic baling machine developed for small and medium-sized scrap yards, metal fabrication workshops, foundries and recycling centers. With a nominal pressing force of 1350 kN, it compresses loose ferrous and non-ferrous scrap into dense, uniform bales that are easier to store, transport and feed into melting furnaces.

Its 1050 × 600 × 600 mm compression chamber is suitable for processing aluminum cans, light steel scrap, copper scrap, metal offcuts, thin sheet metal, wire and other compressible materials. The adjustable bale length allows operators to produce bales according to material type, furnace opening and transportation requirements.

Compared with larger industrial balers, the Y83-135 requires less installation space and uses an 18.5 kW motor, making it a practical solution for businesses seeking reliable scrap volume reduction without excessive energy consumption or investment.

Cause

Loose scrap metal creates several operational problems:

• It occupies valuable storage space
• Low-density loads increase transportation cost per ton
• Irregular scrap is difficult to handle and load
• Loose material can reduce furnace-feeding efficiency
• Manual sorting and handling increase labor requirements

These problems are especially significant for recycling businesses that process moderate daily volumes but do not need a large, high-power baling system.

Solution

The Y83-135 hydraulic metal baler applies multi-directional compression to convert loose scrap into compact bales. Its forward-out discharge system removes the finished bale directly from the chamber, simplifying material handling and preparing it for collection by forklift, conveyor or other equipment.

Key benefits include:

• 1350 kN hydraulic force for stable compression
• Adjustable bale length from 50 to 300 mm
• Up to 1800–2500 kg/h processing capacity
• Dense, stackable bales for efficient storage
• Simple hand-valve operation
• Compact design with relatively low power demand
• Customizable voltage, chamber, controls and discharge method

Specifications

Application

The Y83-135 Metal Baler is suitable for:

• Scrap metal recycling yards
• Aluminum can collection centers
• Steel and metal fabrication workshops
• Copper and aluminum recycling businesses
• Foundries and metal smelting plants
• Automotive repair and dismantling facilities
• Industrial metal waste management

For best performance, oversized or very thick scrap should be cut before entering the compression chamber.

How It Works

The operator loads loose scrap into the chamber and closes the chamber lid. The hydraulic cylinders compress the material in several directions until a dense bale is formed. After the compression cycle is completed, the forward-out mechanism discharges the finished bale from the machine.

The hand-valve control system provides direct control over loading, compression and discharge. This uncomplicated design is easy to operate and maintain, particularly in facilities where fully automatic production is unnecessary.

How To Choose

Before selecting the Y83-135, buyers should confirm:

• The type and thickness of the scrap
• Required hourly processing capacity
• Preferred bale dimensions and weight
• Available electrical voltage and frequency
• Loading method and available floor space
• Required manual or PLC control system

The Y83-135 is recommended for moderate volumes of light and medium-density scrap. Larger, thicker or high-volume materials may require a 160-ton, 200-ton or 250-ton metal baler.

FAQ

What materials can the Y83-135 process?

It can process light steel scrap, aluminum cans, copper scrap, metal offcuts, thin sheets and wire. Extremely thick or oversized material should be cut or pre-processed.

How much material can it process per hour?

The standard capacity is approximately 1800–2500 kg/h. Actual output depends on the material density, loading speed, scrap shape and operator experience.

Can the bale size be customized?

The standard bale cross-section is 600 × 240 mm, while the bale length is adjustable between 50 and 300 mm. Other configurations can be discussed according to project requirements.

Is PLC automatic control available?

The standard model uses manual hand-valve control. PLC semi-automatic operation, remote control and other control options can be customized.

Can the voltage be changed for my country?

Yes. The motor voltage, phase and frequency can be configured according to the buyer’s local power supply.
