In 2026, Wanshida Hydraulic Machinery successfully delivered a 200-ton hydraulic metal baler to a recycling company in Romania, supporting the processing of ferrous scrap collected from manufacturing plants, construction sites, and industrial workshops.
As part of the European Union, Romania’s recycling industry operates under strict environmental and safety regulations. Scrap processors are required to improve efficiency, consistency, and workplace safety, while maintaining cost-effective operations.
What Challenges Do Scrap Processors in Romania Face?
1. Strict EU Environmental and Operational Standards
Recycling facilities in Romania must comply with:
- Environmental protection regulations
- Workplace safety standards
- Waste management and sorting requirements
Loose scrap and inefficient handling can lead to compliance issues and operational inefficiencies.
2. Need for Uniform, High-Quality Scrap Preparation
Steel mills and downstream buyers require:
- Consistent bale size
- High-density scrap
- Clean and organized material handling
Without proper baling, scrap can be difficult to transport and process.
3. Increasing Labor Costs and Efficiency Pressure
Although labor is available, companies aim to:
- Reduce manual handling
- Improve processing efficiency
- Maintain stable production output
The customer required equipment that could balance performance, reliability, and operating cost.
Why the Customer Chose a 200-Ton Metal Baler
After evaluating several options, the customer selected the 200-ton metal baler due to its:
- Sufficient compression force for medium-density scrap
- Stable hydraulic system for continuous operation
- Ability to produce uniform, compact bales
- Reliable structure suitable for long-term use
- Simple operation with reduced labor dependency
The baler is mainly used to process steel scrap, sheet metal offcuts, and mixed industrial materials.
What Improvements Were Achieved After Installation?
After commissioning, the customer reported:
- Improved bale density and uniformity
- More efficient loading and transport
- Reduced manual handling
- Better compliance with safety and environmental standards
- Stable and reliable operation over long working hours
The baler became an essential part of the company’s scrap preparation process.
Customer Feedback
The plant manager commented:
“This 200-ton baler helps us meet our operational and compliance requirements.
It improves efficiency while maintaining stable and reliable performance.”
Conclusion
This project highlights how medium-capacity metal balers can effectively support scrap recycling operations in European markets like Romania.
By providing reliable compaction, consistent bale quality, and compliance-oriented performance, Wanshida continues to deliver solutions that meet the high standards of EU recycling industries.
