The metal baler is widely used in recycling industries, steel mills, and non-ferrous and ferrous metal smelting industries. It can process nearly 10 tons of scrap metal per hour. Through a powerful hydraulic system, it can quickly compress loose metal fragments or scrap metal components into compact squares or bales for storage and transportation and subsequent metal recycling processing.
The application scope of this machine is extremely wide. It can squeeze various metal edges (scrap steel, aluminum, copper, stainless steel, scrap cars, etc.) into various shapes such as rectangular, octagonal, cylindrical, and so on. The hydraulic pressure can be adjusted according to the actual baling needs of different materials.
Wide range of applications for metal balers
Hydraulic scrap metal baling machines are suitable for all kinds of scrap metal recycling and processing industries. The baled metal material can be recycled, smelted, or sold. The following are the main application areas:
- Scrap car dismantling plant: metal balers are used to compactly pack metal parts generated from discarded cars, such as body components, engine parts, etc.
- Metal recycling plant: compactly baling a variety of discarded metal materials, including waste appliances, discarded metal components, waste containers, etc. into shapes that are easy to handle.
- Manufacturing waste disposal: scrap steel, aluminum, copper, etc., can be processed by horizontal balers to reduce the size of the waste materials for easy disposal and recycling.
- Construction site: waste metal materials generated at construction sites, such as scrap steel, waste metal frames, etc., can be compactly packed by metal balers for easy cleaning and transportation.
features of finished metal bales
- Metal bales are easy to transport, which can effectively reduce transportation costs and increase the transportation rate.
- After baling, the metal is convenient to be crushed for secondary processing.
- They are easier to store and can save a lot of warehouse space.
- Metal bales facilitate utilization and reprocessing.
how the waste metal recycling baler machine works?
Throughout the process, the hydraulic system is the key driver, providing enough force to compress the metal material. At the same time, the mechanical structure, blades, and other components also play an important role in ensuring that the metal can be compressed and baled evenly and efficiently.
- Feed: waste metal materials are fed into the feed opening of the metal baler. This can be loose metal pieces, discarded components, used appliances, etc.
- Positioning and compression: the incoming metal material is positioned on the baler’s table. Subsequently, the hydraulic system comes into play and the hydraulic cylinders push the table or baling head to compress the metal material. This process quickly compresses the otherwise loose pieces of metal into a compact block.
- Wrapping: once the metal material has been compressed to the desired size, the baler will wrap the block with wire rope, plastic tape, or other material. This helps maintain the shape of the metal block and prevents the material from falling apart.
- Collection and discharge: the baled metal blocks are taken to a collection area where they can be discharged using a conveyor belt, pushing machinery, etc. The collection area can be a container for storing the metal blocks or a direct means of transportation.
hydraulic scrap metal baling machine advantages
- Small footprint: Horizontal metal baling machines are designed to be more compact and usually have a relatively small footprint. This is particularly advantageous for workplaces with space constraints.
- Various models are available: different pressures, bin sizes, package sizes, and shapes.
- Smooth running: Horizontal baler is characterized by small movement inertia, low noise, and flexible operation.
- Easy to operate: our metal baler recycling machine adopts liquid-electric integrated control. It can stop and run at any working position, and it is easy to realize overload protection.
