Y83 / F-1600 1600 kN Turn-Over Type Hydraulic Metal Baler for Scrap Steel & Aluminum Recycling

The Y83 / F-1600 Turn-Over Type Hydraulic Metal Baler is a heavy-duty scrap metal baling solution designed for medium to large-scale recycling operations that require high bale density, flexible material handling, and reliable long-term performance.

With a 1600 kN (160-ton) hydraulic pressing force, this machine efficiently compresses loose and irregular metal scrap into compact, high-density bales, significantly reducing material volume. This directly helps recycling companies lower transportation costs, improve storage efficiency, and increase profit margins.

Unlike standard side-push balers, the turn-over (front discharge) structure allows bales to be discharged forward after compression. This design is especially suitable for heavy scrap, mixed metal materials, and operations where forklifts or conveyors are positioned in front of the machine, improving workflow efficiency and site layout flexibility.

The Y83 / F-1600 supports customizable chamber sizes and bale dimensions, enabling the machine to adapt to different scrap types such as steel scrap, aluminum profiles, metal off-cuts, and light structural scrap. Combined with manual valve or PLC control options, the machine meets the operational habits and automation requirements of different markets.

1. ✔ 1600 kN High-Pressure Hydraulic System

   The powerful hydraulic system ensures strong and stable compression, producing dense, well-shaped bales that meet the requirements of scrap traders, smelters, and downstream processing plants.

2. ✔ Turn-Over (Front Discharge) Bale Design

   The turn-over discharge structure allows bales to be ejected forward, making it ideal for heavy scrap handling, continuous production lines, and forklift-assisted operations. This design also reduces side-space requirements.

3. ✔ Customizable Chamber & Bale Sizes

   Available compression chamber sizes such as 1600 × 1000 × 800 mm and 1600 × 1200 × 800 mm, with bale sizes including 350 × 350 mm or 400 × 400 mm, allow the machine to be tailored to different materials and customer requirements.

4. ✔ Flexible Power Configuration

   Equipped with 22 kW or 30 kW motor options, the Y83 / F-1600 balances strong output with controlled energy consumption, suitable for regions with different electricity conditions.

5. ✔ Manual Valve or PLC Control Options

   Users can choose manual hydraulic valve control for simplicity and cost efficiency, or PLC control for safer, more automated, and standardized operation.

6. ✔ Robust Structure for Long Service Life

   Heavy-duty steel construction and a mature hydraulic design ensure high durability, low failure rate, and reduced maintenance costs, making the machine suitable for long-term overseas operation.

Q1: What materials can the Y83 / F-1600 process?
A: It is suitable for scrap steel, scrap aluminum, aluminum profiles, metal off-cuts, light structural steel, and mixed metal scrap.

Q2: What is the advantage of the turn-over discharge type?
A: Turn-over discharge allows bales to be pushed out forward, which is ideal for heavy scrap, front-side forklift handling, and streamlined production layouts.

Q3: Can chamber and bale sizes be customized?
A: Yes. Both compression chamber size and bale dimensions can be customized according to material type and customer requirements.

Q4: Is PLC control necessary?
A: PLC control is optional. Manual valve control is simple and cost-effective, while PLC control offers improved safety, automation, and operational consistency.

Q5: Is this machine suitable for overseas markets?
A: Yes. The Y83 / F-1600 is designed with a simple, robust structure and reliable hydraulic components, making it easy to maintain and operate internationally.
