Y81QF-800-1 Hydraulic Scrap Metal Baler – Versatile Solution for Light and Heavy Mixed Scrap

Product Overview

Engineered for industrial scrap facilities, the Y81QF-800-1 efficiently processes mixed ferrous and non-ferrous metals into high-density bales. Its 800-ton hydraulic system, supported by dual main and side cylinders along with cover and double door lock cylinders, ensures reliable compression. The PLC and HMI with remote control allow real-time monitoring and control over operational parameters. Capable of handling steel, aluminum, copper, and other scrap metals, it supports daily processing of 50–120 tons for continuous industrial operations.

Applications

• Steel mills handling structural steel, I-beams, pipes, channel steel, sheets, aluminum, and industrial scrap, and many other scrap metals of different shapes
• Scrap recycling plants processing mixed metals for reuse
• Demolition companies handling construction and industrial waste
• Preparing scrap for efficient transport, furnace feed, or export
• Optimizing storage in mid-to-large scale metal processing facilities

Core Advantages

• High Compression Force: 800 tons hydraulic system ensures consistent high-density bales (2200–2600 kg/m³ depending on material thickness)
• Automated Operation: PLC + remote control reduces labor and ensures safe operation
• High Throughput: 110-second cycles enable predictable output for large daily volumes
• Bale Length Flexibility: Width and height fixed at 700×700 mm; length varies automatically based on scrap quantity
• Energy Efficiency: 148 kW hydraulic system minimizes energy per ton
• Reliable Power Supply: Four 45 kW motors and four hydraulic pumps ensure continuous operation under heavy loads
• Spacious Material Chamber: 3000 × 2500 × 1300 mm press box allows efficient bulk feeding and uniform bales
• HMI Interface: Provides real-time monitoring, tracks bale counts, and displays status of solenoid valves, hydraulic cylinders, and limit switches, while allowing operators to monitor system pressure and set operational parameters

How It Works

The dual double main cylinders generate high-pressure compression, supported by dual side cylinders. The cover door cylinder and double door lock cylinders secure the press box during operation, ensuring safe and uniform bale formation. Scrap is fed into the material chamber (3000 × 2500 × 1300 mm), and the PLC system with remote control manages stroke, cycle timing, and hydraulic pressure, producing high-density, uniform bales of mixed light and heavy metals.

The bale turn-out cylinder automatically ejects finished bales, minimizing manual handling. Operators can monitor performance, system status, and bale counts via the HMI interface, ensuring safe and efficient operation.

How To Choose

Consult our team to select the right hydraulic scrap metal baler:

• Daily scrap volume (50–120 tons/day)
• Scrap type: light, heavy, or mixed metals
• Desired bale size and density
• Facility layout and floor space

Available models: 250-ton, 315-ton, 400-ton, 630-ton, 800-ton, 1000-ton, 1250-ton, 1400-ton, and 2000-ton. Bale length is automatically generated according to the amount of scrap fed, ensuring consistent and dense bales.

What Problem It Solves

• Mixed scrap handling: Efficiently processes scrap of all shapes, types, and weights, including steel, copper, aluminum, and aluminum alloys
• Manual labor reduction: PLC + HMI automation minimizes operator workload
• Throughput consistency: 110-second cycles maintain stable production for 50–120 tons/day
• Storage & transport optimization: Fixed width and height, variable length bales improve stacking efficiency
• Operational visibility: HMI tracks bale counts, displays valve, cylinder, and limit switch status, and monitors system pressure for precise control

FAQ

Q1: Can this baler process both light and heavy metals?
A: Yes, it handles all types of mixed metals, including steel, copper, aluminum, aluminum alloys, pipes, I-beams, channel steel, sheets, and many other scrap metals of different shapes.

Q2: What determines bale density?
A: Bale density (2200–2600 kg/m³) depends primarily on the thickness and type of scrap metal. Thicker or heavier material naturally produces denser bales.

Q3: How does HMI improve operations?
A: The HMI provides real-time machine status, tracks bale counts, and displays the status of solenoid valves, hydraulic cylinders, and limit switches. It also allows operators to monitor system pressure and set operational parameters, ensuring safe, efficient, and precise operation throughout the baling process.

Q4: What daily throughput can be achieved?
A: The baler supports 50–120 tons per day, depending on scrap type and feed rate, suitable for mid-to-large scale recycling facilities, steel mills, and demolition companies.
