The hydraulic horizontal metal baler can compress loose metal trimmings, scrapped cars, etc. into regular and compact blocks with density ≥2200kg/m³, which is convenient for storage, transportation and subsequent smelting for recycling.
The scrap metal baling machine can handle up to 10 tons of scrap metal per hour and is widely used in recycling stations, steel mills, non-ferrous and ferrous metal smelting, and other related fields. The entire machine operates smoothly, occupies a small area, and is easy to operate, making it an important tool for improving the efficiency of scrap metal processing and reducing transportation costs.
Wide range of applications for metal balers
- Scrap car dismantling plant: baling body parts, engine parts and other waste metal parts.
- Construction sites: baling of construction waste metals such as rebar heads, scrap metal frames, etc.
- Metal recycling plant: compress all kinds of waste metal materials, such as waste appliances, waste parts, waste containers, etc.
- Manufacturing waste treatment: compression of steel, aluminum, copper and other waste materials generated in the production process.


features of finished metal bales
- Convenient storage: the finished product is small in size, saving storage space.
- Convenient for transportation: the packaged metal pieces are dense and neat, which effectively reduces the transportation cost and improves the loading efficiency.
- Convenient for secondary processing: the baled metal is convenient for subsequent crushing, smelting and deep processing.
- Enhance the recycling value: the baled metal materials can be sold, standardized baling helps to enhance the overall recycling rate and economic value of scrap metal.


hydraulic scrap metal baling machine advantages
- Smooth operation: low inertia, low noise, flexible and smooth operation.
- Small footprint: compact horizontal structure design, suitable for workplaces with limited space.
- Wide applicability: covers almost all non-ferrous and ferrous metal scrap compression needs.
- Multi-specification optional: according to different materials and needs, customized pressure, bin size, bale size and molding shape (rectangular, octagonal, cylindrical, etc.).
- Convenient operation: adopting a liquid-electric integrated control system, supporting any station start, stop, and overload protection, safe and easy to use.


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.
- Feeding: the scrap metal raw materials (such as loose metal pieces, discarded parts, old home appliances, etc.) are put into the feeding port of the baler.
- Positioning and compression: the materials are sent into the baling chamber for positioning, and then the hydraulic system is activated. The hydraulic cylinder pushes the press head or press plate to compress the metal material strongly, and quickly presses the loose metal into a dense block.
- Bundling and fixing: when compressed to the set size, the equipment automatically or manually bundles the metal blocks, which can be fixed with steel wire or baling tape to prevent the blocks from loosening.
- Discharge and collection: after baling is completed, the formed metal briquettes are discharged through the discharging mechanism (e.g., conveyor belt, pushing mechanism, etc.), and centrally collected to the storage area or directly transferred.
