How a 315-Ton Metal Baler Helped an Iranian Hydraulic Valve Factory Optimize Scrap Recycling
Market Background
In Iran, many hydraulic valve and industrial component manufacturers operate their own machining workshops. During daily production, large volumes of steel turnings, machining offcuts, and mixed light scrap metal are generated.
Without proper compaction equipment, these metal scraps occupy significant space, increase handling costs, and reduce workshop efficiency. As raw material prices fluctuate, more Iranian manufacturers are also looking for ways to recover higher scrap value through better recycling practices.
Customer Profile & Challenges
English Version
This customer is a hydraulic valve manufacturing factory serving local industrial and infrastructure projects. Their production lines generate a steady amount of steel scrap and machining residues every day.
Before working with us, the customer faced several challenges:
Loose metal scrap occupied valuable workshop space
Manual handling and temporary storage were inefficient
Scrap was sold in low-density form, resulting in lower resale prices
Existing small balers lacked sufficient pressing force for dense metal bales
The customer clearly stated that they needed a higher-tonnage metal baler capable of producing compact, heavy bales suitable for transport and resale.
Our Solution: 315-Ton Hydraulic Metal Baler
After evaluating the customer’s material type and daily output, we recommended a 315-ton hydraulic metal baler, designed specifically for metal scrap compaction in industrial environments.
Key solution highlights included:
315-ton nominal pressing force, ensuring high-density metal bales
Strong steel structure suitable for continuous industrial use
Stable hydraulic system for consistent compression performance
Compact bale size for easy forklift handling and transport
Simple operation, suitable for factory workshop staff
The baler was customized to match the customer’s local power supply and operating habits, ensuring smooth installation and fast commissioning.
Project Results & Benefits
After installation and operation, the customer reported clear improvements:
Scrap volume reduced by over 80%, freeing up workshop space
Metal bales became denser and more uniform
Transportation frequency and handling time were significantly reduced
Scrap resale value increased due to higher bale density
Overall workshop organization and safety were improved
The customer now treats scrap metal as a recoverable asset rather than production waste, improving both operational efficiency and cost control.
This project demonstrates how a 315-ton metal baler can deliver real value beyond basic scrap handling. For manufacturers such as hydraulic valve factories, effective scrap compaction directly contributes to better space management, lower logistics costs, and higher recycling returns.
With reliable performance, strong pressing force, and practical industrial design, the 315-ton hydraulic metal baler has proven to be an ideal solution for Iranian industrial manufacturers seeking efficient metal recycling equipment.
Bulky Recycling Waste Slowing Down Australian Plants? A 20–25 TPH Industrial Shredder Delivered a High-Capacity Solution
Customer Background
The customer is an established recycling facility in Australia, serving local manufacturing plants, packaging companies, and municipal waste contractors.
Their operation focuses on processing large volumes of bulky recyclable materials, including plastic packaging waste, industrial offcuts, and mixed recyclable scrap.
With Australia’s increasing landfill restrictions and rising labor costs, the recycling plant faced growing pressure to improve processing efficiency while maintaining compliance with environmental standards.
Challenges Faced by the Recycling Facility
Before upgrading their equipment, the customer encountered several operational bottlenecks commonly seen in Australian recycling yards:
Oversized and bulky materials
Large packaging waste and irregular scrap required manual pre-cutting, slowing down material intake and increasing handling time.
Limited throughput capacity
Existing equipment could not keep up with incoming waste volumes, creating storage congestion and operational delays.
High labor dependency
Manual handling increased labor costs and workplace safety risks, a major concern in the Australian market.
Inconsistent material size
Uneven output made downstream sorting and recycling less efficient, affecting overall plant productivity.
The High-Capacity Shredder Solution
To address these challenges, we supplied a heavy-duty industrial shredder engineered specifically for high-volume recycling operations.
The machine features a wide 2200 mm feeding opening, allowing bulky and oversized materials to be fed directly into the shredder without additional pre-processing. This significantly reduced manual handling and improved workflow efficiency.
Powered by a 900 HP high-performance drive system, the shredder delivers strong and stable torque, ensuring reliable operation even under continuous heavy-load conditions. The robust design makes it well suited for the demanding operating environment of Australian recycling facilities.
With a processing capacity of 20–25 tons per hour, the shredder easily meets the customer’s daily throughput requirements, eliminating previous bottlenecks and enabling smoother downstream operations.
Results After Installation
Following installation and commissioning, the recycling plant experienced immediate operational improvements:
Throughput increased to 20–25 tons per hour, supporting higher daily processing volumes
Material intake efficiency improved, thanks to the 2200 mm wide feeding inlet
Labor requirements reduced, lowering operational costs and improving site safety
More consistent output size, enhancing sorting efficiency and recycling quality
Reduced storage congestion, as waste volume was processed more quickly
The customer was able to streamline their recycling workflow while achieving a more predictable and stable production output.
This Solution Works for Australian Recycling Plants
Australian recycling facilities face unique challenges, including high labor costs, strict environmental regulations, and growing waste volumes.
This industrial shredder directly addresses these issues by combining large feeding capacity, high installed power, and reliable throughput performance.
For recycling yards and waste management companies across Australia, a shredder with 2200 mm feeding width, 900 HP power, and 20–25 TPH capacity provides a long-term solution that supports operational efficiency, regulatory compliance, and sustainable growth.
Conclusion
This successful shredder installation demonstrates how a properly engineered recycling solution can transform high-volume waste processing operations.
By eliminating manual pre-processing, increasing throughput, and improving consistency, the industrial shredder has become a core asset in the customer’s recycling facility.
For Australian recyclers seeking to improve efficiency and reduce operating costs, high-capacity shredding equipment plays a critical role in building a future-ready recycling operation.

As India’s steel recycling industry continues to expand, recycling plants are facing increasing pressure to process large volumes of heavy scrap such as H-beams, thick rebar, and structural steel. Traditional cutting methods often struggle with low efficiency, high labor costs, and inconsistent cutting results.
One Indian recycling plant handling mixed heavy steel scrap required a reliable solution capable of continuous operation and stable cutting performance. Manual and small-capacity machines could no longer meet their daily processing demand.
To address this challenge, we supplied an 800-ton hydraulic gantry shear designed for heavy-duty scrap processing. The machine features a shear force of 8000 kN, a heavy-duty hydraulic system, and a PLC-controlled automatic operation, allowing safe and efficient cutting of oversized steel materials.
After installation, the customer reported a significant increase in cutting efficiency, reduced dependence on manual labor, and smoother daily operations.Key technical parameters include a cutting force of 800 tons, blade length suitable for large profiles, and high-power hydraulic drive, making it a reliable solution for India’s growing scrap recycling sector.
