The Y83-160 scrap metal baler is designed for recycling companies that need dependable 2–3 t/h production without investing in an oversized hydraulic baling system.
Equipped with 1600 kN pressing force, a 1600 × 1000 × 800 mm compression chamber and 30 kW installed power, this model offers a balanced combination of processing capacity, electrical demand and machine size.
The machine compresses loose scrap into dense rectangular bales with either a 350 × 350 mm or 400 × 400 mm cross-section. Bale length can be adjusted from approximately 400 to 600 mm according to storage, transport and furnace-feeding requirements.
Standard manual hydraulic valve control keeps the operating system straightforward and reduces unnecessary electrical complexity. PLC semi-automatic control, remote operation and feeding conveyors can also be added when production volume or labor conditions require greater automation.
Selecting a metal baler based only on maximum pressing force can result in a machine that is larger than the actual scrap volume requires.
An oversized machine may create:
A machine that is too small creates the opposite problem. Frequent loading cycles and insufficient hourly output may become a production bottleneck.
The correct baler should match the actual scrap type, effective working hours and expected daily capacity.
The Y83-160 hydraulic scrap compactor is positioned between small low-output balers and larger industrial systems. Its reference output of 2000–3000 kg/h is suitable for buyers who process a stable medium volume of scrap but do not require a 4–5 t/h production line.
The 30 kW motor configuration helps control installed power while providing sufficient hydraulic pressure for light and medium ferrous scrap.

Actual production capacity and bale weight depend on the material type, original bulk density, piece size, moisture, loading efficiency and selected bale dimensions.
The Y83-160 metal recycling baler is suitable for scrap dealers processing approximately 16–24 tons during an eight-hour shift, depending on effective working time and material conditions.
Steel sheet offcuts, profiles, wire and rejected parts can be compressed before collection, reducing loose-scrap storage requirements.
Stamping skeletons and punched sheet waste can be baled near the production area to support cleaner and more organized material handling.
The machine can prepare dense, regularly sized scrap for weighing, storage and furnace charging.
Medium-scale recycling stations can use the Y83-160 as an independent processing machine without installing a larger automatic production line.
Aluminum and copper scrap may also be compressed. The actual bale density and hourly output should be tested because non-ferrous materials behave differently from steel scrap.
Manual hydraulic valve operation allows the operator to control each movement directly. PLC control can be added when a more repeatable working sequence is required.
Use the effective operating time rather than the total shift length. Sorting, loading, bale removal and operator breaks should be included when calculating capacity.
A smaller baler may be suitable when production remains below approximately 2 t/h. The Y83-160 is recommended for 2–3 t/h requirements. Buyers requiring approximately 4–5 t/h should consider a larger model such as the Y83-200.
Confirm the available three-phase power, voltage, frequency and transformer capacity. The standard installed power of the Y83-160 is 30 kW.
Light sheet metal may fill the chamber quickly but produce a relatively light bale. Denser steel scrap may increase bale weight while requiring more careful loading.
Choose the 350 × 350 mm section when smaller bales are easier to handle. Choose 400 × 400 mm when larger bales better match the lifting equipment, storage plan or furnace opening.
Manual control is practical for moderate production and straightforward maintenance. PLC control is more suitable for repeatable cycles, conveyor feeding or reduced operator intervention.
The Y83-160 is suitable when the required output is approximately 2–3 t/h. Choosing a larger machine without sufficient material supply may increase equipment, power and maintenance costs without improving actual daily production.
The installed motor power is 30 kW. Actual electricity consumption depends on working pressure, loading efficiency, cycle frequency and the amount of idle time.
Manual hydraulic valve control has fewer electrical control components and is generally straightforward to operate and maintain. PLC control provides better cycle consistency but adds electrical and automation components.
Common maintenance and consumable items include hydraulic seals, oil filters, hydraulic oil, hoses, electrical contacts and wear plates. Replacement frequency depends on working hours and maintenance quality.
The chamber, bale dimensions, electrical supply, control system and feeding arrangement can be adjusted within engineering limits. Custom requirements should be confirmed before production begins.
WANSHIDA provides installation guidance, operating manuals, hydraulic and electrical documentation, spare-parts support and remote technical assistance. On-site commissioning can be arranged when required. The standard warranty is 12 months, subject to the final contract.
For accurate model selection, provide the scrap type, maximum material size, daily volume, effective working hours, preferred bale dimensions and local power supply.
