Metal scrap hydraulic balers


Product Overview


The Y81Q-160 Double Directions Extruding Bale Forward Discharge Baling Machine is a professional hydraulic metal baler designed by Dongfangsheng to transform loose scrap metal into dense, regular bales. This machine addresses a key challenge in recycling: bulky scrap takes up too much space and is costly to transport. By pressing materials like steel shavings, scrap aluminum, scrap copper, and stainless steel scrap into uniform cuboid bales, it reduces volume by up to 70%, making storage and transportation far more efficient. With a nominal force of 1600kN and a production rate of 2.0-3.0 tons per hour, the Y81Q-160 is ideal for businesses looking to optimize scrap metal recycling workflows and maximize profits from recycled materials.

Key Features


Powerful & Stable Hydraulic Drive

The Y81Q-160 uses a high-pressure hydraulic drive system that delivers consistent extrusion force, ensuring bales are dense and uniform—even for tough materials like thick steel shavings. The system’s smooth operation minimizes vibration and noise, creating a more comfortable working environment for operators.


Dual Control Modes

Operators can switch between manual control (for small-batch, precise processing) and PLC automatic control (for high-volume, continuous operations). The PLC mode automates compaction, bale forming, and discharge, reducing human error and cutting down on labor intensity.


No Foundation Bolts Required

Unlike traditional balers, the Y81Q-160 needs no foundation bolts for installation. This saves time and labor during setup and allows the machine to be relocated within a facility—perfect for businesses with changing scrap storage or processing layouts.


Versatile Power Options

For sites without access to electricity (e.g., remote scrap yards), an optional diesel power supply is available. This ensures uninterrupted operation regardless of power infrastructure, making the machine suitable for both urban and rural applications.


Forward Bale Discharge (Y81Q Series Advantage)

As part of the Y81Q series, the machine features forward discharge of bales—a design that simplifies collection. Bales are pushed out from the front, allowing easy loading onto trucks or conveyors without complex retrieval systems. This speeds up workflow and reduces the need for manual handling.


Uniform Bale Specifications

The Y81Q-160 produces bales with dimensions of 800×280mm (W×H) and a weight range of 60-90kg. These standard sizes fit perfectly into shipping containers and smelting furnaces, eliminating the need for secondary processing of bales.

Applications


The Y81Q-160 is a versatile tool for industries involved in scrap metal collection, processing, and recycling, including:


Steel machining workshops: Compacts steel shavings and turnings generated during machining, turning waste into sellable feedstock.



Scrap aluminum recycling facilities: Presses loose scrap aluminum (e.g., beverage cans, window frames) into dense bales for cost-effective transportation to smelters.



Scrap copper businesses: Handles scrap copper wires, pipes, and components, reducing volume to lower shipping costs and improve storage efficiency.



Non-ferrous metal smelting plants: Prepares stainless steel scrap and other non-ferrous metals into furnace-ready bales, streamlining the smelting process.



End-of-life vehicle dismantling plants: Compacts small metal parts (e.g., bolts, brackets) left after car dismantling, ensuring no recyclable material goes to waste.



Construction companies: Recycles metal waste from building sites (e.g., rebar cuttings, old pipes) to support sustainable construction practices.



Customization Options


Dongfangsheng offers personalized upgrades to make the Y81Q-160 fit specific operational needs:


Custom mobile wheels: Adds portability, allowing the machine to be moved between different processing areas.



Return hopper: Prevents scrap from piling up at the feed inlet, ensuring smooth, continuous feeding—ideal for lightweight materials like aluminum cans.



Elevated operation platform: A raised platform for operators to monitor and control the machine comfortably, especially in large facilities.



Conveyor belt system: Automates scrap feeding into the baler, reducing manual labor and increasing processing speed by up to 30%.



Multiple power sources: Beyond electric and diesel, custom options (e.g., dual-fuel systems) are available for sites with unique power needs.



UBC cans baler accessory: A specialized attachment for compacting aluminum beverage cans, expanding the machine’s use to consumer scrap recycling.



FAQ


What is the nominal force of the Y81Q-160?

The Y81Q-160 has a nominal force of 1600kN (equivalent to ~163 tons), providing enough pressure to compact even tough scrap metals into dense bales.


Can the machine handle wet scrap metal?

It can process moderately wet scrap (e.g., slightly damp steel shavings), but regular checks of the hydraulic oil filtration system are recommended to prevent water contamination. For heavily wet scrap, a custom drying accessory can be added.


How long does it take to form one bale?

On average, the Y81Q-160 forms one bale in 2-3 minutes, depending on the scrap type and density. With the optional conveyor belt, this time can be reduced further by ensuring continuous feeding.


What is the difference between the Y81Q, Y81F, and Y81T series?

The three series differ in bale discharge methods: Y81Q uses forward discharge (front push-out), Y81F uses turn-out discharge, and Y81T uses tilt-out discharge. The Y81Q is best for facilities where front-side loading (e.g., onto trucks) is most efficient.


Does the Y81Q-160 come with a warranty?

Yes, Dongfangsheng provides a standard 12-month warranty on the Y81Q-160, covering defects in materials and workmanship. Extended warranties and maintenance contracts are also available for additional peace of mind.
