High-Density Metal Baling Press With 1800 – 2500kg/h Capacity For Scrap Steel

High-Density Metal Baling Press With 1800 – 2500kg/h Capacity For Scrap Steel

Product Overview

The Y83Q-200 metal baler is a heavy-duty hydraulic recycling machine designed to compress loose scrap metal into dense, manageable bales. With a nominal pressing force of 2000kN, an 1800 × 700 × 700mm compression chamber and a production capacity of 1800–2500kg/h, it provides an efficient solution for small and medium-sized scrap yards, metal recycling plants, foundries and steel mills.

This hydraulic scrap metal baler produces bales with a 700 × 700mm cross-section and a density of more than 1800kg/m³, depending on the material. The compact bales are easier to handle, store, transport and feed into melting furnaces.

The machine uses a forward-out bale discharge system and manual valve control. Its straightforward hydraulic operation is easy to learn, convenient to maintain and suitable for recycling facilities that value reliability and practical operation.

Cause

Loose scrap metal creates several problems for recycling companies:

• It occupies excessive storage space
• Loading and transportation costs are high
• Irregular scrap is difficult to handle safely
• Loose material reduces furnace charging efficiency
• Manual sorting and loading require more labor
• Scrap yards may struggle to maintain an organized working area

These issues are particularly noticeable when processing lightweight steel scrap, aluminum profiles, metal offcuts and other bulky materials.

Solution

The Y83Q-200 scrap metal baling press compresses loose metal waste into high-density rectangular bales. Its 2000kN hydraulic pressing force significantly reduces material volume while improving bale consistency.

The 1800mm-long compression chamber accommodates different types of loose metal scrap. After compression, the finished bale is discharged forward from the chamber, allowing operators to remove it conveniently.

Key advantages include:

• High-density bales for economical transportation
• 1800–2500kg/h processing capacity
• Powerful 2000kN hydraulic compression
• Compact 30kW motor configuration
• Simple hand-valve operation
• Forward-out bale discharge
• Reduced scrap storage requirements
• Easier furnace charging and material handling
• Durable design for continuous recycling operations

Specifications

Actual capacity and bale density may vary according to the material type, feeding method, operator experience and scrap bulk density.

Application

The Y83Q-200 hydraulic metal baler can process a wide range of recyclable metal materials, including:

• Light scrap steel
• Sheet metal offcuts
• Aluminum profiles and frames
• Steel stamping waste
• Thin metal plates
• Metal cans and containers
• Copper scrap
• Stainless steel offcuts
• Wires and lightweight metal structures
• Mixed non-ferrous metal scrap

It is suitable for scrap recycling centers, metal fabrication factories, automotive dismantling facilities, foundries, steel mills and waste processing companies.

How It Works

First, the operator loads loose scrap metal into the compression chamber. The chamber cover closes, and the hydraulic system applies pressure to compress the material.

The main pressing cylinder then compacts the scrap into a dense rectangular bale. After the compression cycle is completed, the forward-out discharge mechanism pushes the finished bale out of the chamber.

The complete cycle takes less than 150 seconds under suitable operating conditions. Manual valve control allows the operator to manage each movement directly and respond flexibly to different materials.

How To Choose

When selecting a metal baler, buyers should consider the following factors:

• Material type: Steel, aluminum, copper and stainless steel have different compression characteristics.
• Material thickness: Heavy or oversized scrap may require greater pressing force or pre-shearing.
• Required capacity: The Y83Q-200 is suitable for an output of approximately 1800–2500kg/h.
• Bale size: Confirm whether a 700 × 700mm bale cross-section matches your transportation and furnace requirements.
• Operation preference: Manual valve control is economical, reliable and easy to maintain.
• Power supply: Confirm that the local voltage, frequency and phase match the 30kW motor configuration.

Providing scrap photos, dimensions, thickness and required daily capacity will help us confirm whether the Y83Q-200 is the most suitable model.

FAQ

What materials can the Y83Q-200 metal baler process?

It can compress light scrap steel, aluminum profiles, sheet metal offcuts, stainless steel, copper scrap and other loose metal waste. Very thick or oversized materials should be evaluated before ordering.

Is the bale density always above 1800kg/m³?

The machine can achieve a bale density of more than 1800kg/m³ under suitable conditions. Actual density depends on the material composition, thickness, initial bulk density and feeding consistency.

How is the finished bale discharged?

The finished bale is pushed forward out of the compression chamber. This forward-out design makes bale removal straightforward and convenient.

Is automatic PLC control available?

The standard Y83Q-200 uses manual valve control. An automatic or PLC-controlled configuration may be designed according to the buyer’s production requirements.

Can the voltage and machine configuration be customized?

Yes. The motor voltage and electrical configuration can be adapted to the destination country. Other customization options can be discussed according to the material, required capacity and operating conditions.
