Y83-250UA 250 Ton Metal Baler for Heavy Scrap Metal Compression

Product Overview

The Y83-250UA metal baler is a 250-ton hydraulic scrap baling machine designed to compress loose and bulky metal scrap into dense, transportable bales. It is suitable for scrap recycling yards, steel mills, foundries, metal-processing plants, and waste recovery centers.

Equipped with a spacious 2000 × 1750 × 1200 mm compression chamber, the machine can handle various types of metal waste, including steel sheets, light structural scrap, aluminum scrap, metal offcuts, steel turnings, cans, and discarded metal components.

The baler produces rectangular bales measuring (400–700) × 500 × 600 mm. With a bale density exceeding 1,800 kg/m³ and an hourly capacity of approximately 4,000–6,000 kg, the Y83-250UA helps recycling companies reduce scrap volume, improve handling efficiency, and lower transportation costs.

Cause

Loose metal scrap is difficult and expensive to store, transport, and feed into melting furnaces. Irregular pieces occupy considerable space inside warehouses and trucks, while sharp edges can create additional handling and safety risks.

Common challenges include:

• High transportation cost per ton
• Inefficient use of warehouse space
• Difficult scrap loading and unloading
• Unstable furnace feeding
• Increased manual handling
• Material loss during transportation
• Difficulty in weighing and inventory management

Without proper compression, recycling companies may need more trucks, larger storage areas, and additional labor to handle the same quantity of scrap.

Solution

The Y83-250UA hydraulic metal baler uses a nominal pressing force of 2,500 kN to compress loose scrap into compact rectangular bales. Its large compression chamber allows operators to process bulky and irregular metal waste efficiently.

After the compression cycle is completed, the finished bale is turned out of the chamber for convenient collection. The machine uses hand valve control, providing straightforward operation, easy maintenance, and reliable performance in demanding recycling environments.

The main advantages include:

• Powerful 2,500 kN hydraulic pressing force
• Large-capacity compression chamber
• Bale density above 1,800 kg/m³
• Adjustable bale length from 400 to 700 mm
• Production capacity of 4–6 tons per hour
• Convenient turn-out bale discharge
• Simple and reliable hand valve operation
• Heavy-duty structure for continuous scrap processing

Specifications

Application

The Y83-250UA scrap metal baler can be used in:

• Scrap metal recycling yards
• Steel mills and foundries
• Automotive dismantling facilities
• Metal fabrication workshops
• Aluminum and steel processing plants
• Waste recovery and sorting centers
• Machinery manufacturing companies

Typical materials include sheet metal scrap, steel offcuts, aluminum scrap, light metal structures, steel turnings, metal cans, wires, and other compressible ferrous or non-ferrous metal waste.

How It Works

Scrap metal is loaded into the compression chamber by an excavator, grab, conveyor, or manually, depending on the material and operating conditions.

The operator controls the hydraulic cylinders through hand valves. The chamber lid and pressing components compress the material from different directions until a compact rectangular bale is formed. After the compression process, the turn-out mechanism pushes or turns the finished bale out of the chamber.

A complete cycle takes less than 160 seconds under suitable operating conditions. The actual output depends on the type, size, density, and feeding efficiency of the scrap material.

How To Choose

Before selecting a hydraulic scrap metal baler, buyers should consider:

• Type and thickness of the scrap metal
• Maximum size of the incoming material
• Required hourly processing capacity
• Preferred bale dimensions and weight
• Available loading equipment
• Daily operating hours
• Local voltage and frequency
• Required automation level

The Y83-250UA is suitable for customers requiring a processing capacity of approximately 4–6 tons per hour. If the scrap is particularly thick, oversized, or difficult to compress, material photos and dimensions should be provided before confirming the machine configuration.

FAQ

What materials can the Y83-250UA metal baler process?

It can compress various ferrous and non-ferrous metal scraps, including steel offcuts, sheet metal, aluminum scrap, steel turnings, cans, wires, and light structural scrap.

What is the finished bale size?

The standard bale size is (400–700) × 500 × 600 mm. The bale length can vary between 400 and 700 mm depending on the amount and characteristics of the material.

How are the finished bales discharged?

The Y83-250UA uses a turn-out discharge system. After compression, the finished bale is turned out of the chamber for convenient removal and transportation.

Is this metal baler fully automatic?

This configuration uses hand valve control. It is simple to operate, reliable, and convenient to maintain. Other control or automation configurations can be discussed according to the project requirements.

Does the actual capacity always reach 6 tons per hour?

The rated capacity is approximately 4,000–6,000 kg/h. Actual output depends on scrap type, original density, material size, operator efficiency, and loading method.
