High Production Scrap Metal Press With PLC Control And Grab Feeding For Heavy Scrap Recycling

High Production Scrap Metal Press With PLC Control And Grab Feeding For Heavy Scrap Recycling

Product Overview

The Y83/D-5800A1 Scrap Metal Press is a heavy-duty hydraulic baling machine designed for scrap metal recycling yards, steel recovery centers, demolition projects, and industrial waste processing sites. With a 240-ton cylinder pushing and shearing force, 20MPa standard working pressure, and maximum pressure up to 25MPa, this machine provides strong and stable compression performance for loose scrap materials.

The machine is equipped with a large 5860×3100×1070mm compression chamber, allowing operators to process bulky scrap metal more efficiently. It is suitable for pressing light and medium scrap materials with a maximum thickness of 4mm, including steel sheets, car body scrap, metal offcuts, appliance shells, aluminum scrap, and mixed recyclable metal waste. After compression, the scrap is formed into compact 500×650×650mm bales, which are easier to stack, transport, load into trucks, and sell to steel mills or downstream recycling plants.

Powered by an 86kW diesel engine, the Y83/D-5800A1 can operate independently in outdoor yards and remote recycling sites where stable electricity may not be available. The PLC control system improves operating convenience and helps maintain consistent baling performance. Grab feeding and grab discharging reduce manual handling, improve site safety, and make the whole recycling process more efficient.

With a production capacity of 5–7 tons per hour and a theoretical dry cycle time of 130 seconds, this scrap metal press is a practical choice for customers who need reliable output, flexible outdoor operation, and lower labor dependence. For recycling businesses dealing with bulky loose scrap, the Y83/D-5800A1 helps reduce storage pressure, improve transport density, and increase the commercial value of processed scrap.

Cause

Loose scrap metal creates several common problems for recycling companies. It occupies too much yard space, makes truck loading inefficient, and increases transportation costs. When scrap is moved without compression, trucks often carry a large volume but relatively low actual metal weight, which reduces profit.

Many recycling yards also handle materials from different sources, such as demolition sites, vehicle dismantling centers, manufacturing workshops, and metal collection points. These materials are often irregular in shape and difficult to stack. If workers need to handle them manually or move them several times before processing, labor cost and safety risks increase.

For outdoor or remote yards, another challenge is power supply. Traditional electric balers require stable industrial electricity and fixed installation conditions. For customers who need flexible operation and independent power, a diesel-driven scrap metal press is often more suitable.

Solution

The Y83/D-5800A1 Scrap Metal Press provides an efficient solution by combining strong hydraulic compression, diesel power, PLC control, grab feeding, and grab discharging in one machine.

The 240-ton pushing and shearing force compresses loose scrap into dense rectangular bales, reducing volume and improving transportation efficiency. The large compression chamber accepts bulky scrap materials more easily, while the PLC control system makes operation more stable and convenient.

The grab feeding system allows operators to load scrap directly into the chamber, reducing manual labor and improving working safety. After baling, the finished bale can be discharged by grab, making the entire process smoother for continuous yard operation.

For scrap recycling businesses that need to process large-size loose metal materials and improve overall logistics efficiency, this machine offers a strong balance between capacity, mobility, power independence, and operating reliability.

Specifications

Application

The Y83/D-5800A1 Scrap Metal Press is suitable for recycling companies and industrial users who need to reduce scrap volume before transportation or melting.

Typical application areas include:

Scrap metal recycling yards

Steel scrap collection centers

Demolition and construction waste recycling sites

Automobile dismantling yards

Metal processing workshops

Industrial waste recovery stations

Remote outdoor recycling operations

Suitable materials include:

Light steel scrap

Sheet metal

Car body scrap

Appliance shells

Aluminum scrap

Stainless steel offcuts

Metal profiles

Thin plate waste

Mixed recyclable metal scrap

This machine is especially suitable for scrap materials with thickness up to 4mm. By pressing loose material into compact 500×650×650mm bales, customers can improve yard management, reduce transport frequency, and increase loading density for trucks and containers.

How It Works

The operator first uses the grab to feed loose scrap metal into the compression chamber. The large 5860×3100×1070mm chamber provides enough space for bulky and irregular materials, reducing feeding difficulty and improving operation efficiency.

After feeding, the PLC-controlled hydraulic system starts the baling process. Under the action of the 240-ton pushing and shearing force, the scrap material is compressed step by step into a dense rectangular bale. The working pressure is normally 20MPa and can reach up to 25MPa when required.

Once the bale is formed, the finished bale is discharged by grab. This method reduces manual handling and makes the machine suitable for continuous outdoor recycling work. The diesel engine provides independent power, allowing the machine to operate in yards without stable industrial electricity.

How To Choose

The Y83/D-5800A1 is suitable for customers who process light and medium scrap metal with a maximum thickness of 4mm and require a capacity of around 5–7 tons per hour. If your material is bulky, scattered, or difficult to stack, the large compression chamber and grab feeding system can greatly improve handling efficiency.

If your working site does not have reliable electricity, the diesel engine design is a practical choice. It allows the machine to work independently in outdoor yards, demolition sites, and remote recycling locations.

If your main concern is reducing transport cost, the 500×650×650mm bale size can help increase loading density and make scrap easier to store and sell. For customers processing heavier scrap, thicker materials, or requiring higher output, a larger gantry shear, container shear, or customized hydraulic baling system may be more suitable.

Before choosing this model, buyers should confirm scrap type, maximum material thickness, hourly capacity target, available working space, feeding method, discharge method, and local transportation limits.

FAQ

Q1: What materials can the Y83/D-5800A1 Scrap Metal Press process?
