Industrial Hydraulic Steel Baling Machine Automatic Operation Mode 380V/50Hz

Product Specification

Product Overview

The Y83-160 Metal Baler is a compact and practical hydraulic baling machine designed for small and medium-sized scrap recycling yards, metal processing workshops, foundries, and waste metal collection stations. With a nominal pressing force of 1600kN, this machine can compress loose metal scrap into dense, easy-to-handle bales, helping customers reduce storage space, improve loading efficiency, and increase scrap resale value.

This model is especially suitable for compressing light and medium scrap materials such as scrap steel, aluminum profiles, copper scrap, thin metal sheets, cans, used metal parts, and mixed non-ferrous scrap. The final bale size can be made as 350×350mm or 400×400mm, which is convenient for container loading, furnace feeding, and long-distance transportation.

The Y83-160 metal baler adopts a turn-out bale discharging structure and hand valve control system. It is easy to operate, simple to maintain, and suitable for customers who need stable performance without complicated automation. For buyers who care about investment cost, workshop space, and daily processing efficiency, this model offers a balanced solution between capacity, power consumption, and machine size.

Cause

Loose scrap metal often creates several problems for recycling businesses. It takes up too much floor space, increases handling costs, and makes transportation less efficient. When scrap is loaded loosely into trucks or containers, the loading volume is low and the freight cost per ton becomes higher.

For many recycling yards, the main challenge is not only collecting scrap, but also making it more compact, cleaner, and easier to sell. Steel mills and smelting plants also prefer high-density bales because they are easier to store, feed, and melt.

That is why a hydraulic metal baler becomes necessary for companies dealing with daily scrap volumes of around 2–3 tons per hour.

Solution

The Y83-160 hydraulic metal baler compresses scattered scrap into uniform blocks with a bale density of more than 1800kg/m³. This helps customers improve space utilization and reduce transportation waste.

Key advantages include:

1. 1600kN pressing force for stable compression of common metal scrap
2. 2000–3000kg/h capacity, suitable for daily recycling operations
3. Compact compression chamber for easy workshop installation
4. Turn-out bale discharge for simple and reliable operation
5. Hand valve control, easy for operators to learn and maintain
6. 30kW motor power, balancing output and energy consumption
7. Custom bale size options to match different loading and furnace requirements

For customers who need a dependable scrap baling machine with moderate capacity and practical operation, the Y83-160 is a cost-effective choice.

Specifications

Application

The Y83-160 metal baler can be widely used in:

Scrap metal recycling yards
Metal trading companies
Steel and aluminum processing workshops
Foundries and smelting plants
Automobile repair and dismantling sites
Waste metal collection stations
Small and medium recycling centers

It is suitable for compressing loose scrap into compact bales before transportation, resale, or furnace feeding. For customers with limited workshop space, this model can help organize scrap materials and improve the overall efficiency of the recycling process.

How It Works

The operator first loads loose scrap metal into the compression chamber. After the chamber is filled, the hydraulic system drives the main pressing cylinder to compress the material. Under strong hydraulic pressure, the scrap is pressed into a dense rectangular bale.

Once the compression cycle is completed, the finished bale is discharged by the turn-out system. The operator can then remove the bale for stacking, loading, or further processing.

Because this model uses hand valve control, the working process is direct and easy to manage. Operators can control the pressing and discharging steps according to the actual scrap material condition.

How To Choose

When choosing a metal baler, buyers should consider the following points:

1. Material type
   If you mainly process light steel scrap, aluminum profiles, cans, and mixed metal waste, the Y83-160 is a suitable option. For very heavy or oversized scrap, a larger model may be recommended.
2. Daily capacity
   This model has a processing capacity of 2000–3000kg/h, making it ideal for small and medium recycling businesses.
3. Bale size requirement
   The Y83-160 can produce 350×350mm or 400×400mm bales. The final choice depends on your transport method, container loading plan, and furnace feeding needs.
4. Operation preference
   Hand valve control is simple, reliable, and easy to repair. It is a good choice for customers who prefer basic operation and lower maintenance costs.
5. Workshop space
   With a compact chamber size of 1600×1000×800mm, this machine is suitable for workshops where space efficiency is important.

FAQ

1. What materials can the Y83-160 metal baler compress?

It can compress scrap steel, aluminum scrap, copper scrap, cans, thin metal sheets, used metal parts, and other light to medium metal scrap.

2. What is the capacity of this machine?

The capacity is around 2000–3000kg/h, depending on the material type, feeding method, scrap density, and operator efficiency.

3. Can the bale size be customized?

The standard bale size is (400–600)×350×350mm or (400–600)×400×400mm. Other requirements can be discussed according to the customer’s material and application.

4. Is this machine easy to operate?

Yes. The Y83-160 uses hand valve control, which is simple and suitable for operators who need stable performance without complicated PLC systems.

5. Why choose this model instead of a larger baler?

For small and medium recycling yards, the Y83-160 offers a good balance between pressing force, capacity, power consumption, and investment cost. It is practical for customers who need reliable baling performance without overspending on unnecessary capacity.
