The Y83-250 Hydraulic Metal Baler is a robust and efficient scrap metal compression solution designed for medium to large-scale recycling operations. With a powerful nominal force of 2500 kN, this machine is engineered to handle a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials, including steel scrap, aluminum, copper, and mixed light metal waste.

In today’s recycling industry, one of the biggest challenges is reducing transportation and storage costs while maintaining high operational efficiency. Loose scrap materials take up excessive space, are difficult to handle, and increase logistics expenses. The Y83-250 directly addresses these issues by compressing scrap into high-density bales (>1800 kg/m³), significantly improving handling, storage, and shipping efficiency.

Its optimized compress chamber size of 2000 × 1400 × 900 mm allows for processing bulky and irregular scrap materials with ease. The turn-out bale discharge system ensures smooth and quick ejection of finished bales, making it especially suitable for facilities with limited auxiliary equipment. Combined with a reliable hand valve control system, the machine offers stable performance, easy maintenance, and long service life—ideal for markets where simplicity and durability are key priorities.

Key Features & Advantages

1. High Compression Force for Dense Bales

With 2500 kN of pressing force, the Y83-250 produces compact and uniform bales, improving furnace efficiency for downstream steel mills and reducing melting losses.

2. Optimized Chamber Design

The large chamber (2000 × 1400 × 900 mm) accommodates oversized and irregular scrap, minimizing pre-cutting requirements and saving labor costs.

3. High Throughput Capacity

Processing 3500–4500 kg/h, this machine supports continuous operation in busy scrap yards, ensuring consistent output during peak working hours.

4. Flexible Bale Size Output

Bale length can be adjusted between 400–700 mm, allowing users to meet different transportation and furnace feeding requirements.

5. Reliable Turn-Out Discharge System

The turn-out mechanism ensures smooth bale ejection without the need for additional pushing devices, reducing equipment complexity and maintenance.

6. Durable & Low Maintenance Design

Hand valve control offers simple operation and lower failure rates, especially suitable for regions with limited technical support resources.

Technical Specifications

Applications

The Y83-250 metal baler is widely used in:

• Scrap metal recycling stations
