Overview

Jiangsu Wanshida Hydraulic Machinery has successfully delivered a 250 ton front-out hydraulic scrap metal baler (Y83-250) to a well-known metal recycling and ship-dismantling company in Turkey.

This shipment marks another strong step in expanding our presence in the European and Middle Eastern scrap recycling market, where efficiency, durability, and energy stability are essential requirements.

This case study highlights the customer’s real pain points, Wanshida’s targeted solutions, and the unique advantages of the 250-ton metal baler in European & Middle Eastern conditions.

Customer Background: High Demands from Turkey’s Recycling & Ship-Dismantling Industry

Turkey is one of the world’s leading regions for:

• Ship dismantling

• Mixed scrap metal recycling

• Light steel and appliance scrap processing

• Automotive dismantling

Local recycling companies need a metal baler that is:

• Strong enough for continuous heavy-duty work

• Stable under high temperatures

• Efficient in compressing light steel and mixed scrap

• Easy for workers to operate

• Cost-effective and low maintenance

The Turkish buyer compared several suppliers from Europe and China, and finally chose Wanshida’s 250T front-out baler due to its robust structure, stable hydraulic system, and strong cost-performance ratio.

Why European & Middle Eastern Customers Prefer the Wanshida 250T Front-Out Baler?

 1️⃣Stable Operation Under High Temperature & Dust (Middle East Conditions)

Countries like Turkey, Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Qatar face:

• Summer temperature over 40–45°C

• Heavy dust in scrap yards

• Long hours of continuous operation

Wanshida uses:

• Oversized oil tank

• Efficient cooling system

• High-quality sealing components

➡ Ensures smooth and stable operation even in extremely hot and dusty environments.

 2️⃣Low Power Impact & Stable Electrical Load (European Requirement)

Many European regions—including Turkey—have strict limits on:

• Motor starting current

• Electrical grid impact

• Factory line loading

Our optimized hydraulic circuit + low-impact start system ensures:

• Lower starting current

• No power tripping

• More stable performance

➡ Fully meets European standards for electrical safety and energy efficiency.

3️⃣Higher Bale Density to Reduce Transportation Cost

Scrap metal buyers in Europe and the Middle East must reduce:

• Warehouse usage

• Truck loading times

• Export shipping costs

The 250-ton baler produces dense 400×400 mm bales, ideal for:

• Steel scrap

• Light metal

• Aluminum

• Home appliance shells

• Auto stamping scraps

➡ Bale density ≥ 1.8 t/m³, significantly cutting freight & logistics costs.

4️⃣ Simple Control, Easy Training for Local Workers

Most customers in Turkey, Saudi Arabia, UAE and other regions request:

• Easy-to-operate machines

• Less training time

• Fewer electronic failures

Wanshida provides:

• PLC semi-automatic control

• Clear buttons & simple interface

• Stable hydraulic logic

➡ Workers can learn the machine operation within 30–60 minutes.
