Y83F-1600 160 Ton Hydraulic Metal Baler (Turn Over Type) with 1600kN Nominal Force, 1600×1200×800mm Chamber and 400×400mm Bale Size for High-Volume Scrap Yard Processing

The Y83/F-1600 hydraulic metal baler is a 160-ton class turn-over type compaction machine engineered for high-volume scrap yard operations and regional metal recycling centers.

With a nominal force of 1600 kN and customizable large chamber configurations up to 1600 × 1200 × 800 mm, this model is designed to process mixed light-to-medium scrap efficiently while maintaining strong bale density and consistent output.

It serves as a core production machine for recycling facilities that require higher throughput and larger bale sections compared to 125-ton systems.

The 160-ton hydraulic system delivers stronger compression capacity than entry-level models, enabling:

• Stable compaction of mixed scrap

• Improved bale integrity

• Higher material density

• Better transportation efficiency

It bridges the gap between mid-level and heavy-duty scrap balers.

The extended chamber allows:

• Efficient feeding of mixed scrap

• Reduced pre-cutting requirements

• Compatibility with crane feeding

• Higher batch volume per cycle

This configuration supports growing scrap yards handling increased daily volume.

The larger bale cross-section offers:

• Higher single-bale mass

• Better stacking efficiency

• Improved export logistics

• Suitability for medium furnaces

The 400×400 mm bale option is particularly preferred for export-oriented scrap processing.

The motor options provide flexibility depending on operational intensity, supporting continuous production with stable hydraulic output.

The turn-over type bale discharge offers:

• Reliable bale ejection

• Stable mechanical structure

• Reduced downtime

• Simplified maintenance

The machine can be configured with:

• Manual valve control for cost-efficient operation

• PLC automatic control for higher automation and productivity

This flexibility allows adaptation to different operational scales.

The Y83/F-1600 is suitable for:

• Mixed light and medium steel scrap

• Sheet metal

• Aluminum scrap

• Structural offcuts

• Industrial metal waste

It is not intended for ultra-heavy structural beams or high-density bundled scrap.

The 160-ton class baler significantly increases compaction capacity, reduces scrap storage space, improves transportation efficiency, and enhances resale value.

It is commonly selected by recycling businesses upgrading from 125-ton machines to handle growing material volume.

The Y83/F-1600 can operate as a standalone high-output baler or integrate into scrap sorting, conveyor feeding, and regional recycling systems.

Its larger chamber and bale options support scalable operation growth.

The machine is widely installed in:

• Large regional scrap yards

• Export-oriented metal recycling facilities

• Growing scrap processing businesses

• Industrial waste recovery centers

Its performance makes it suitable for facilities transitioning to higher production capacity.

How does 160-ton differ from 125-ton?
The 160-ton model offers stronger compaction force, larger chamber options, and larger bale cross-sections, making it suitable for higher daily output.

Is PLC control necessary?
Manual valve control is sufficient for many yards, but PLC improves automation and cycle consistency.

What bale size should I choose?
350×350 mm is suitable for general handling; 400×400 mm is preferred for higher-density export scrap.

Can it handle heavy structural scrap?
It is designed for light to medium scrap. Heavier materials require higher-tonnage models.

The Y83/F-1600 is supplied with a one-year warranty covering hydraulic, structural, and electrical components under normal industrial operation.

Technical support, spare parts supply, and commissioning assistance are available.

If your scrap yard requires a reliable 160-ton hydraulic baler to increase output and improve bale size flexibility, the Y83/F-1600 provides a stable and scalable compaction solution.
