Y81QF-800-1 Hydraulic Scrap Metal Baler – High-Density, Automated Metal Compression with HMI

Product Overview

The Y81QF-800-1 hydraulic scrap metal baler is a high-capacity industrial solution for steel mills, scrap recycling plants, and large-scale industrial facilities. Featuring 800-ton hydraulic power, dual side cylinders, a cover door cylinder, and a door lock cylinder, it produces uniform high-density bales from mixed scrap metals.

Equipped with PLC-controlled automation and HMI human-machine interface, the baler allows operators to monitor the entire machine status, track bale counts, and reduce manual intervention. It handles all types of scrap metals, from light to heavy, in any shape or size, and converts them into compact, transportable bales, optimizing storage and logistics for daily scrap volumes of 50–120 tons.

Applications

• High-volume metal compression in steel mills and recycling plants
• Industrial plants processing mixed scrap metals, including structural steel, pipes, channel steel, sheets, aluminum, and other industrial scrap
• Preparing scrap for export packaging and transport
• Optimizing storage and workflow in mid-to-large scale metal processing facilities

Core Advantages

• High Compression Force: 800 tons hydraulic power ensures uniform bale density (2200–2600 kg/m³ depending on material thickness)
• Automated Operation: PLC-controlled system with remote operation reduces manual handling and enhances safety
• High Throughput: Single cycle of 110 seconds delivers predictable output for large daily volumes
• Bale Length Flexibility: Width and height fixed at 700×700 mm; length varies automatically based on scrap quantity, producing consistent dense bales
• Energy Efficiency: Optimized hydraulic system (148 kW) minimizes energy per ton of scrap
• HMI Human-Machine Interface: Provides real-time machine status, enables operators to track bale counts, and simplifies workflow monitoring

How It Works

The Y81QF-800-1 applies high-pressure hydraulic compression through the main cylinder, supported by dual side cylinders. The cover door cylinder and door lock cylinder secure the press box during compression, ensuring safe and uniform bale formation. Scrap metal is fed into the press box, and the PLC system regulates stroke, cycle timing, and hydraulic pressure, producing high-density, uniform bales.

The bale turn-out cylinder automatically ejects completed bales, reducing manual handling and maintaining consistent throughput. The HMI interface allows operators to monitor machine status and track the number of bales produced.

How To Choose

To select the most suitable hydraulic scrap metal baler, consult with our team to determine:

• Daily scrap volume and material type (light vs. heavy metals)
• Required bale size and density
• Space and layout of your facility

Available models:
250-ton, 315-ton, 400-ton, 630-ton, 800-ton, 1000-ton, 1250-ton, 1400-ton, and 2000-ton, suitable for small, mid, and large-scale operations. Bale length is automatically generated based on the amount of scrap fed, ensuring consistent and dense bales.

What Problem It Solves

• Inconsistent bale density: Dual shear and side cylinders with cover door and door lock cylinders produce uniform, high-density bales
• Labor-intensive operation: PLC and HMI automation reduce manual handling
• Low throughput in high-volume facilities: 110-second cycles support 50–120 tons/day
• Storage and transport inefficiency: Fixed width and height, variable length bales optimize space and logistics
• Operational monitoring: HMI allows tracking of bale counts and machine status for better workflow management

FAQ

Q1: What types of scrap metals can this baler handle?
A: It can process all types of scrap metals of varying shapes and sizes, including round bars, square and rectangular sections, I-beams, channel steel, pipes, sheets, and mixed industrial scrap, whether light or heavy, ferrous or non-ferrous.

Q2: What is the typical bale density?
A: Bale density typically ranges from 2200–2600 kg/m³, depending primarily on the thickness and type of the scrap metal fed into the baler. Thicker or heavier sections naturally produce higher-density bales.

Q3: How does the automation system help operators?
A: The PLC-controlled system with HMI and remote operation enables safe, repeatable operation, tracks bale counts, monitors overall machine status, and reduces operator fatigue.

Q4: What is the maximum daily throughput?
A: The baler can process 50–120 tons per day, depending on scrap type, size, and feed rate, supporting continuous operation in mid-to-large scale recycling plants and steel mills.
