1250 kN Hydraulic Metal Baler with 1200 × 700 × 600 mm Compression Chamber and 1500–2000 kg/h Capacity for Scrap Metal Recycling

1250 kN Hydraulic Metal Baler with 1200 * 700 * 600 mm Compression Chamber and 1500–2000 kg/h Capacity for Scrap Metal Recycling

Product Overview

Metal recycling facilities and scrap yards handle large volumes of loose metal scrap every day. Without proper compression equipment, these materials occupy significant storage space and increase transportation costs. A hydraulic metal baler provides an efficient solution by compressing loose scrap metal into dense and manageable bales.

This hydraulic metal baler delivers a nominal pressing force of 1250 kN, enabling efficient compression of various types of scrap metal such as steel scrap, aluminum scrap, copper scrap, and light metal waste. The compression chamber measures 1200 * 700 * 600 mm, allowing operators to process medium-sized scrap materials efficiently.

The machine produces compact bales measuring (250–450) * 250 * 250 mm, with bale density exceeding 1800 kg/m³, ensuring stable handling and improved furnace charging efficiency. With a processing capacity of 1500–2000 kg per hour, the machine is suitable for small to medium scrap recycling facilities and metal processing plants.

Powered by an 18.5 kW hydraulic system, the baler provides stable compression performance and reliable operation under continuous working conditions.

Technical Specifications

Core Features of the Hydraulic Metal Baler

• High hydraulic pressing force ensures effective compression of loose metal scrap into dense bales suitable for transportation and furnace charging.
• Optimized compression chamber design allows efficient processing of various metal scrap sizes and shapes.
• Stable hydraulic power unit provides consistent pressure and reliable operation in industrial recycling environments.
• Compact bale size improves storage efficiency and significantly reduces transportation costs.
• Heavy-duty machine frame ensures durability and long service life during continuous operation.
• Turn-out bale discharge system simplifies bale removal and improves working efficiency.

Working Principle

The hydraulic metal baler compresses loose scrap metal through a high-pressure hydraulic system. Scrap materials are first loaded into the compression chamber. The hydraulic cylinders then apply pressure from multiple directions to compact the materials into dense rectangular bales.

Once the compression process is completed, the bale is discharged using the turn-out bale removal system. The compacted bale can then be transported or stored efficiently. This process significantly improves scrap handling efficiency and reduces storage volume.

Machine Structure

The metal baler is built with a robust welded steel frame designed to withstand heavy compression forces during continuous industrial operation.

The compression chamber is reinforced with wear-resistant steel plates to improve durability when processing abrasive scrap materials. The hydraulic cylinders provide the main compression force, while the hydraulic power unit controls pressure and system movement.

The machine also includes an electrical control system, hydraulic pump station, compression chamber, and bale discharge mechanism. These components work together to provide stable and reliable baling performance.

Applications

• Hydraulic metal balers are widely used in metal recycling and industrial scrap management.
• Scrap recycling yards compress loose scrap metal for transportation and storage.
• Metal processing plants recycle production scrap generated during machining and fabrication.
• Steel mills prepare scrap metal for furnace charging.
• Automotive recycling facilities compress vehicle scrap materials.
• Industrial recycling plants improve scrap handling efficiency through metal baling systems.

Benefits for Scrap Metal Recycling

• Loose metal scrap occupies large storage areas and creates handling difficulties. Hydraulic balers compress these materials into dense blocks that are easier to transport and store.
• High-density bales improve furnace loading efficiency and reduce metal loss during smelting. Scrap yards and recycling plants benefit from improved operational efficiency and reduced logistics costs.
• By transforming loose scrap into compact bales, recycling facilities can significantly optimize material handling and recycling processes.

Optional Configurations

• Different production environments may require customized equipment configurations.
• Optional configurations include PLC automatic control systems, remote operation panels, automatic feeding conveyors, bale output conveyors, and oil filtration systems.
• These options allow the metal baler to be integrated into automated scrap recycling production lines.

Global Application Cases

• Hydraulic metal balers are widely used in recycling facilities across many industrial sectors.
• Metal recycling companies use balers to reduce scrap volume before transportation.
• Steel manufacturing plants use compressed scrap for furnace charging.
• Automotive dismantling facilities compress vehicle scrap materials.
• Industrial recycling centers improve scrap processing efficiency through hydraulic baling systems.
• These machines are commonly used in recycling facilities across Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and South America.

Maintenance and Service

• Regular maintenance ensures stable and long-lasting machine performance.
• Hydraulic oil levels should be checked periodically to maintain proper system pressure. Sealing components and hydraulic hoses should be inspected regularly to prevent leakage.
• Routine lubrication and inspection of mechanical components help extend equipment service life and maintain consistent operating performance.

Environmental Benefits

• Hydraulic metal balers play an important role in sustainable metal recycling.
• By compressing loose scrap materials into dense bales, recycling facilities can improve material handling efficiency and reduce environmental impact. Compact scrap bales minimize storage space and reduce transportation frequency.
• This process contributes to more efficient metal recycling and promotes environmentally responsible industrial practices.
