Y83Q-4000C 400 Ton Metal Baler Shear with PLC Automatic Control

1. Product Description

The Y83Q-4000C 400 ton metal baler shear is designed for scrap metal processing operations that need compression and cutting in one machine. It is suitable for scrap yards, recycling plants, and ferrous scrap handling facilities that want to reduce loose metal scrap into compact bale sections and then cut the material into manageable output lengths for easier storage, transfer, and downstream recycling.

Compared with a standard baler, a baler shear combines two working functions in one machine. It first compresses loose scrap inside the press room and then applies shearing force to reduce the material into more practical output size. This integrated process helps improve handling efficiency and reduces the need for separate baling and cutting equipment in the same line.

The Y83Q-4000C uses 4000 kN cutting force, 3200 kN left cylinder force, and 3200 kN right cylinder force, supported by a 5000 × 1350 × 680 mm compress room. The bale section is 460 × 460 mm, with bale length adjustable within 300–700 mm. With 2–3 cutting cycles per minute, 74 kW installed power, and PLC automatic control, this model is suitable for medium-to-heavy scrap metal processing tasks where compacted output and controlled cutting are both required.

2. Product Positioning

The Y83Q-4000C is best positioned as a 400 ton metal baler shear for integrated scrap compression and cutting. It is suitable for:

1. Scrap metal baling and cutting in one machine
2. Ferrous scrap preparation before transport or resale
3. Scrap yard volume reduction and size control
4. Recycling plant workflow simplification
5. Medium-to-heavy scrap processing operations

This model is more suitable for buyers who want a combined baling and shearing solution than for those looking for a baler-only or shear-only machine.

3. Suitable Materials

This model is generally suitable for:

1. Steel scrap
2. Ferrous scrap
3. Mixed metal scrap suitable for compression
4. Light-to-medium bulky scrap requiring size reduction
5. Recyclable metal materials needing bale formation and cut length control

Because this machine combines baling and cutting, it is especially suitable for scrap that is loose before feeding but still needs controlled output size after compression.

4. Recommended Application Scenarios

4.1 Scrap Yard Integrated Processing

Suitable for scrap yards that need to compress and cut metal scrap in one machine to improve storage, loading, and yard organization.

4.2 Recycling Plant Material Preparation

Suitable for recycling plants that want to simplify scrap preparation by combining bale formation and cutting in one workflow.

4.3 Transport Volume Reduction

Loose scrap often occupies too much loading space. This model helps reduce volume through compression and then controls output length for easier transport.

4.4 Medium-to-Heavy Scrap Handling

With 4000 kN cutting force and a large 5000 mm compress room length, this model is suitable for medium-to-heavy scrap handling where both compaction and cutting are needed.

6. Core Product Advantages

6.1 Compression and Cutting in One Machine

The main advantage of this model is that it integrates baling and shearing in one system, helping reduce equipment duplication in scrap processing.

6.2 4000 kN Cutting Force

The machine uses 4000 kN cutting force, providing practical cutting capability for compacted scrap output.

6.3 Large Compress Room

The 5000 × 1350 × 680 mm compress room gives the machine a practical working chamber for loading and compressing loose scrap before cutting.

6.4 Compact Bale Section Output

The bale section size of 460 × 460 mm helps produce more regular and manageable output for storage and transport.

6.5 PLC Automatic Control

PLC automatic control supports more stable and repeatable daily operation, especially in continuous scrap handling work.

7. Working Process

7.1 Scrap Feeding

Loose metal scrap is loaded into the compress room for preparation.

7.2 Hydraulic Compression

The machine compresses the scrap inside the chamber to form a more compact bale section.

7.3 Bale Formation

The compressed material is formed into a bale section of 460 × 460 mm, with output length controlled in the 300–700 mm range.

7.4 Hydraulic Shearing

After compression, the machine applies 4000 kN cutting force to shear the output into more manageable lengths.

7.5 Output and Transfer

The processed material can then be stored, loaded, transferred, or prepared for downstream recycling and melting.

8. RFQ

8.1 What information should buyers provide before quotation?

1. What type of scrap metal do you mainly process?
2. What is the maximum feeding size and material form?
3. What hourly or daily output do you expect?
4. Do you need bale-only output or both bale formation and cutting?
5. What are your local power supply and site layout conditions?

8.2 Why is this information important?

1. It helps confirm whether the Y83Q-4000C fits your scrap type.
2. It helps determine whether the compress room size is suitable for your feeding material.
3. It improves quotation accuracy and configuration recommendation.
