Scrap Metal Baler Y81T-250: High-Efficiency Hydraulic Compression Machine for Industrial Waste Recycling This automatic hydraulic scrap metal baler, model Y81T-250, is engineered for efficient processing of ferrous and non-ferrous metal waste such as copper shavings, aluminum scraps, steel plates, car shells, and other industrial byproducts. Designed with Siemens PLC control and ISO-certified quality standards, it delivers consistent performance in recycling operations worldwide. Whether you're managing a small-scale scrap yard or a large metal reprocessing facility, this machine reduces transportation costs and enhances smelting efficiency through compact, standardized bale formation. Key Features: - Automatic operation via Siemens PLC system ensures precise control and minimal manual intervention - Side push-out bale discharge mechanism allows safe and seamless removal of compressed loads - Nominal force up to 2500 kN enables high-density compaction of diverse materials including lightweight and heavy metals - Modular design supports quick assembly, easy relocation, and reduced installation time - Dual motor configuration (22–30 kW) offers flexibility in power supply options—ideal for regions with variable electricity availability - Reinforced structure using Hardox500 wear-resistant lining plates increases durability under continuous use - Customizable color options to match operational branding or environmental compliance needs Detailed Description: The Y81T-250 series features an advanced hydraulic system that compresses loose metal waste into uniform square, cylindrical, or octagonal bales weighing between 180 kg and 360 kg per unit. With production capacities ranging from 20 to 42 metric tons per 8-hour shift depending on the variant (Y81T-250A/B/C), this baler suits both medium-volume and high-throughput applications. Its integrated design eliminates the need for secondary setup, making it ideal for international shipping and rapid deployment across global markets. The robust press box dimensions (up to 2500 x 2000 x 1200 mm) accommodate various material types while maintaining optimal compression ratios for melting and resale. Ideal Applications: This industrial-grade metal compactor is widely used in scrap yards, metal fabrication plants, automotive dismantling centers, and recycling hubs. It’s especially effective for processing mixed ferrous scrap, shredded auto parts, aluminum cans, copper wire bundles, and other recyclable metals. By transforming disorganized waste into dense, transportable bales, users significantly reduce logistics expenses and improve storage utilization in metal recovery facilities. User Feedback: Customers from Europe, North America, and Southeast Asia have praised the machine’s reliability, ease of maintenance, and consistent output quality. Many highlight its ability to handle tough materials like thick steel sheets without frequent downtime. Users also appreciate the comprehensive support package—including free documentation in multiple languages, remote technical assistance, and one-year warranty with lifelong service access—which makes the Y81T-250 a trusted partner in sustainable industrial practices. Frequently Asked Questions: What makes this baler suitable for international markets? It meets CE, ISO9001:2008, TUV, and SGS certification requirements, ensuring compliance with global safety and quality standards. Additionally, the side discharge feature and modular construction make it adaptable to different site conditions. How does it differ from manual or semi-automatic models? Unlike older systems, this fully automated unit uses intelligent controls to monitor pressure, cycle times, and safety parameters—reducing operator fatigue and increasing throughput. Can it process mixed metal streams? Yes, it efficiently handles blends of ferrous and non-ferrous metals, though best results are achieved when materials are sorted beforehand for optimal bale density and purity. Is spare part availability guaranteed? Each unit includes a complimentary set of essential spare parts along with an operation manual and tool kit, and ongoing support ensures long-term availability of replacement components globally. With over three decades of manufacturing expertise, this baler represents a proven solution for modern metal recycling challenges. Whether you’re looking to optimize your scrap management process or upgrade existing equipment, the Y81T-250 delivers unmatched value, performance, and sustainability.
