Y81QF-800-1 Scrap Metal Baler – Efficient High-Density Baling for Mixed Industrial Scrap

Product Overview

The Y81QF-800-1 hydraulic scrap metal baler is engineered for industrial facilities and steel plants that process large volumes of mixed scrap metals. With 800 tons of hydraulic compression, dual side cylinders, a cover door cylinder, a door lock cylinder, and a spacious 3000 × 2500 × 1300 mm material chamber, it produces uniform high-density bales that simplify storage, transport, and re-melting operations.

Equipped with PLC automation and HMI human-machine interface, the baler provides real-time machine monitoring, allows operators to track bale counts, and minimizes manual labor, supporting daily scrap processing of 50–120 tons.

Applications

• High-volume industrial scrap recycling
• Steel mills for structural steel, I-beams, pipes, and channel steel
• Facilities handling mixed light and heavy metals, including aluminum, sheets, and industrial scrap
• Preparing scrap for efficient transport or export
• Optimizing storage in mid-to-large scale metal processing plants

Core Advantages

• High Compression Force: 800 tons ensures consistent high-density bales (2200–2600 kg/m³ depending on material thickness)
• Automated Operation: PLC + HMI reduces labor and ensures safe operation
• High Throughput: 110-second cycles deliver predictable output for large daily volumes
• Bale Length Flexibility: Width and height fixed at 700×700 mm; length varies automatically based on scrap quantity
• Energy Efficiency: 148 kW optimized hydraulic system minimizes energy per ton
• Reliable Power Supply: Four 45 kW motors and four hydraulic pumps ensure continuous, stable operation
• Spacious Material Chamber: 3000 × 2500 × 1300 mm press box allows efficient bulk feeding

How It Works

The main cylinder generates high-pressure compression, supported by dual side cylinders. The cover door cylinder and door lock cylinder secure the press box during operation. Scrap is fed into the material chamber, and the PLC system controls stroke, cycle timing, and hydraulic pressure, producing uniform high-density bales.

The bale turn-out cylinder ejects finished bales automatically. Operators can monitor the process via HMI, track production counts, and check system status, ensuring smooth operation with minimal manual handling.

How To Choose

Consult with our team to select the right hydraulic scrap metal baler:

• Daily scrap volume (50–120 tons/day)
• Scrap type: light, heavy, or mixed metals
• Desired bale size and density
• Facility layout and floor space

Available models: 250-ton, 315-ton, 400-ton, 630-ton, 800-ton, 1000-ton, 1250-ton, 1400-ton, and 2000-ton. Bale length is automatically generated according to the amount of scrap fed.

What Problem It Solves

• Mixed scrap handling: Efficiently processes scrap of all shapes and weights
• Manual labor reduction: PLC + HMI automation minimizes operator workload
• Low throughput in high-volume facilities: 110-second cycles maintain consistent production
• Storage & logistics optimization: Fixed width and height with variable length bales allow compact stacking
• Operational visibility: HMI interface provides real-time monitoring of machine status and bale counts

FAQ

Q1: Can this baler handle mixed scrap metals of different shapes?
A: Yes, it can handle all scrap metals including round, square, rectangular sections, I-beams, channel steel, pipes, sheets, and mixed industrial scrap, both light and heavy.

Q2: What affects the bale density?
A: Bale density (2200–2600 kg/m³) depends primarily on the thickness and type of scrap metal fed into the baler. Thicker or heavier material naturally produces denser bales.

Q3: How does the HMI and automation system benefit operators?
A: Provides real-time machine status, tracks bale counts, enables safe, repeatable operation, and reduces fatigue.

Q4: What is the daily throughput?
A: 50–120 tons per day depending on scrap type, size, and feed rate, suitable for mid-to-large recycling plants and steel mills.
