In 2026, Wanshida Hydraulic Machinery successfully delivered four units of Y83/F-250 hydraulic metal balers to a growing scrap recycling company in India, supporting their increasing demand for stable, high-density scrap processing.

As India’s infrastructure and manufacturing sectors continue to expand, scrap yards are facing heavier workloads and more diversified scrap sources. The customer required a baling solution that could deliver reliable compression force, stable bale size, and continuous operation without excessive investment in oversized equipment.

Each unit was configured as follows:

• Model: Y83/F-250

• Baling Force: 2500 kN (250 tons)

• Chamber Size: 2000 × 1400 × 900 mm

• Bale Size: 450 × 450 mm

• Motor Power: 44 / 60 kW

• Operation Method: Manual Control

This configuration provides a balanced solution between power consumption, compression capacity, and operational stability — particularly important for medium-to-heavy ferrous scrap commonly found in Indian yards.

Rather than investing in a single high-tonnage machine, the customer selected four 250-ton units to achieve:

• Parallel processing of different scrap categories

• Higher combined daily output

• Operational flexibility across yard zones

• Backup capacity to avoid downtime

• Easier maintenance management

This modular setup allows the company to adjust productivity based on scrap intake without disrupting operations.

The Y83/F-250 balers are primarily used to compact:

• Steel bars and bundled rebar

• Fabrication offcuts

• Structural profiles

• Light demolition scrap

• Mixed ferrous materials

The 450 × 450 mm uniform bale size improves stacking efficiency and simplifies transport to steel mills.

After commissioning, the customer reported:

• Significant increase in total daily baling capacity

• Higher bale density and improved loading efficiency

• Reduced manual handling intensity

• More organized yard workflow

• Stable continuous-duty performance

The reinforced chamber structure and 2500 kN compression force ensured consistent bale quality even under heavy scrap conditions.

This project demonstrates how the Y83/F-250 hydraulic metal baler provides an optimal balance of power, efficiency, and investment cost for the Indian scrap recycling industry.

By delivering stable 2500 kN compression force, practical bale size, and scalable multi-unit configuration, Wanshida continues to support customers seeking reliable and cost-effective scrap processing solutions.
