Y81T-315 Hydraulic Scrap Metal Baler

Product Overview

The Y81T-315 hydraulic scrap metal baler is designed to compress loose metal scrap into dense bales for easier storage, loading, and transportation. Based on the specification sheet, the machine combines a 3150 kN main compression force, dual side pressure cylinders, a 3000 × 2000 × 1200 mm compression chamber, and PLC automatic control with remote controller, making it suitable for structured scrap baling operations rather than light-duty compaction work.

The PDF also lists a bale density of not less than 2000 kg/m³, an empty-load cycle time of about 130 seconds, and a production efficiency of about 6–10 tons/hour for steel scrap. These figures give the machine a clear technical profile for B2B buyers comparing scrap baling equipment.

Applications

This machine is best suited for scrap processing environments where loose steel scrap needs to be compressed into more regular and manageable bales before transfer, storage, or downstream handling. The throughput figure in the source document is specifically stated for steel scrap, so steel scrap processing is the clearest supported application.

Typical application scenarios may include scrap yards, steel scrap collection stations, metal recycling facilities, and operations that need denser bale output for more efficient loading and transport. These use cases are consistent with the machine type, chamber size, bale density, and loading images shown in the PDF.

Core Advantages

Measurable compression capacity

The main compression cylinder is rated at 3150 kN, supported by 1600 kN × 2 side pressure cylinders and a 1250 kN cover door cylinder. This multi-cylinder arrangement provides a more complete compression structure than a single-force reference alone.

Defined bale density for handling efficiency

The listed bale density of ≥2000 kg/m³ is a useful operational indicator because it relates directly to bale compactness, loading efficiency, and storage organization.

Documented operating rhythm

With an empty-load cycle time of about 130 seconds and steel scrap throughput of about 6–10 tons/hour, the machine can be described with measurable operating data instead of broad efficiency claims.

Hydraulic and control configuration

The machine uses two A4V-200 hydraulic pumps, each rated at 31.5 MPa, plus a 3500 L oil tank and 12 m² water cooling effect. It also uses PLC automatic control with remote controller and side push-out bale discharge. These are practical specification points for technical buyers.

How It Works

Loose metal scrap is fed into the compression chamber measuring 3000 × 2000 × 1200 mm. The hydraulic system then uses the main cylinder, side pressure cylinders, and cover door cylinder to compress the material into a denser form. After compression, the finished bale is discharged through the side push-out method. The control system is listed as PLC automatic control with remote controller, which supports more standardized machine operation.

The final bale size is specified as (600–1000) × 600 × 600 mm, which means the machine forms bales with a fixed cross-section and variable length within the stated range.

How To Choose

This model is more suitable when you need a baler with a clearly defined 315-ton class compression level, a large chamber, and measurable bale density rather than an entry-level compaction solution. Buyers comparing scrap balers can use the 3150 kN main force, ≥2000 kg/m³ bale density, 130-second cycle time, and 6–10 tons/hour steel scrap output as the main evaluation points.

It is also worth checking whether your site power supply, material type, bale size target, and required operating rhythm match the listed configuration of 74 kW total power, 380V / 50Hz / 3-phase, and the specified bale format.

What Problem It Solves

This machine addresses a common problem in scrap handling: loose steel scrap takes up space, is harder to stack, and is less efficient to load and transport. By compressing material into bales with a specified density of not less than 2000 kg/m³, the baler helps turn irregular scrap into a more manageable output format.

It also helps buyers looking for a machine that can be described with real parameters rather than vague claims. The PDF provides force, density, chamber size, cycle time, throughput, hydraulic pressure, and cooling data, which are the kinds of values buyers actually use when evaluating industrial equipment.
