Scrap Metal Baler for Reducing Transport Cost and Increasing Bale Density 1600kN Hydraulic Baling Machine

If you are dealing with loose scrap metal such as aluminum, light steel, or mixed metal waste, you may already face common challenges: low bale density, high transportation costs, and inefficient handling. The Y83-160 hydraulic metal baler is specifically designed to solve these problems.

With a powerful 1600 kN pressing force, this machine compresses scrap into high-density bales exceeding 1800 kg/m³, making storage, loading, and furnace feeding much more efficient. It is widely used in scrap yards, recycling centers, and metal processing facilities where consistent output and cost control are critical.

The turn-out bale discharge system ensures quick unloading, while the hand valve control provides a simple and reliable operation method, ideal for businesses seeking a cost-effective and low-maintenance solution.
