High Density 160Ton Hydraulic Metal Baler Scrap Compaction Solution 22kw For Efficient Recycling
High Density 160Ton Hydraulic Metal Baler Scrap Compaction Solution 22kw For Efficient Recycling
Product Overview
The 160-ton hydraulic metal baler is designed for medium-scale scrap processing operations that require stable performance, consistent bale density, and cost-efficient operation. It is widely used in recycling stations, metal processing workshops, and scrap collection yards where materials such as steel scrap, aluminum profiles, copper, and light structural metals need to be compressed into compact, transport-friendly bales.
This model strikes a practical balance between capacity and investment. With a nominal force of 1600 kN and a compact chamber design, it is particularly suitable for customers handling 2–3 tons of scrap per hour. Compared to larger models, it offers lower power consumption while still achieving high-density bales above 1800 kg/m³, which directly reduces transportation and melting costs.
Key Features & Advantages
High Bale Density for Better Profit Margins
The machine produces tightly compressed bales with density exceeding 1800 kg/m³. This ensures higher furnace efficiency and reduces logistics costs, making it especially valuable for export-oriented scrap businesses.
Optimized Chamber Design for Versatile Materials
The 1450×600×600 mm compress chamber is engineered to handle mixed scrap materials, including sheet metal, turning scraps, aluminum profiles, and light steel structures. It minimizes pre-cutting requirements and improves operational efficiency.
Stable Hydraulic System with Reliable Output
Equipped with a robust hydraulic system, the machine maintains consistent pressure throughout the compression cycle, ensuring uniform bale shape and quality even during continuous operation.
Cost-Effective Power Configuration
With only 22 kW power consumption, this model delivers strong performance without excessive energy usage, making it ideal for regions with higher electricity costs or limited power supply.
User-Friendly Manual Operation
The hand valve control system provides simple and reliable operation, especially suitable for markets where maintenance simplicity and operator control are preferred over complex automation.
Forward-Out Bale Discharge Design
The forward-out system allows quick and efficient bale ejection, reducing downtime and improving workflow continuity.

Application Scenarios
Recycling Industry + Mixed Scrap Metal + Loose Material Handling + High Density Baling Improves Transport Efficiency
Metal Processing Plants + Aluminum & Copper Scrap + Volume Reduction Needs + Compact Bale Output Enhances Furnace Loading
Scrap Collection Centers + Light Steel & Sheet Scrap + Storage Constraints + Dense Bales Save Space and Cost
Export Scrap Traders + Multi-Material Scrap + Shipping Cost Pressure + High Density Reduces Freight Expenses
Why This Model Stands Out
Unlike larger fully automatic balers, this 160-ton model is built for practicality. It delivers consistent performance without requiring complex infrastructure or high investment. For buyers who need reliable daily operation around 2–3 tons/hour, this machine offers one of the best cost-performance ratios in its class.
FAQ
Q1: What type of materials can this baler handle?
It is suitable for steel scrap, aluminum, copper, stainless steel, and light mixed metals. For oversized or heavy structural steel, pre-cutting is recommended.
Q2: Is this machine suitable for continuous operation?
Yes, it is designed for stable daily operation with consistent cycle times under 150 seconds, suitable for medium-duty workloads.
Q3: What is the typical bale weight?
Depending on material type and feeding method, bale weight typically ranges between 80–150 kg.
Q4: Can the machine be upgraded to automatic control?
Yes, PLC control can be customized based on customer requirements for higher automation.
Q5: What about installation and after-sales support?
We provide detailed manuals, remote technical guidance, and optional engineer support. The machine comes with a 12-month warranty and lifetime technical service.
Q6: What voltage options are available?
The machine can be customized to match local voltage standards such as 220V, 380V, 415V, or 440V, 50/60Hz.
