Technical Specifications

Working Principle

The Y83-160 metal baler operates through a hydraulic system that applies strong pressure to compress loose scrap metal inside the chamber. The material is compacted from multiple directions to form high-density bales. After compression, the bale is discharged using a turn-out mechanism, allowing for quick removal and preparation for the next cycle. This process improves handling efficiency and reduces labor intensity.

Applications

Scrap metal recycling yards
Aluminum and copper processing plants
Steel mills and foundries
Manufacturing facilities with metal waste
Automotive and metal fabrication industries
