Market Background: Why Senegal’s scrap market is moving toward “standard bales” Senegal’s recycling and scrap trading ecosystem is becoming more structured year by year. More metal flows are being collected from urban construction, infrastructure projects, workshops, and import-related industrial activity. At the same time, logistics costs remain a major variable, and buyers increasingly prefer cleaner, more consistent scrap formats that are easier to handle, stack, and transport. For many yards, the competitive gap is no longer only “who can buy more scrap,” but who can process it into a more shippable, standardized product. This is why the market outlook strongly favors baling and densification: when loose scrap is turned into uniform bales, yards gain better control of space, safety, and shipping schedules. Standard bales also improve commercial efficiency—because consistent size and stable density reduce disputes, reduce rework, and speed up dispatch. In short, Senegal’s market is trending toward operators who can deliver predictable output with repeatable workflows, not ad-hoc handling. Customer & Application Scenario: The pain points that triggered the upgrade A Senegal-based recycling operator processing mixed scrap metal was facing several classic bottlenecks that directly affected profit per ton: Loose scrap “eats” space fast: stockpiles spread out, block lanes, and reduce the effective working area of the yard. More re-handling = more cost: cranes/forklifts spend time repositioning material instead of loading outbound trucks; labor intensity rises and productivity drops. Loading inefficiency (“air gaps”): when scrap is not densified, trucks leave with unused volume, which increases freight cost per ton and makes shipping less predictable. Unstable stacking and safety risk: irregular piles are harder to stabilize, increasing the risk of collapse and slowing down daily operations. Dispatch rhythm becomes chaotic: when loading takes longer than expected, trucks queue, the yard gets congested, and daily shipment plans slip. The customer needed one reliable station that could convert bulky loose scrap into uniform bales and restore a predictable “sort → ship” rhythm. Our Solution: Y83-250A push-out hydraulic metal baler (PLC + remote) To match these needs, Jiangsu Wanshida Hydraulic Machinery Co., Ltd. supplied 1 unit of the Y83-250A push-out type hydraulic metal baler. The push-out discharge design supports faster bale ejection and cleaner staging into the stacking/loading zone, helping build a repeatable routine: sort → feed → compress → push-out → stack → load. With PLC automatic control and remote operation, the customer aimed to simplify shift execution and reduce operator variability. Summary (Key Technical Parameters Included) The customer’s selection focused on measurable parameters that support output planning, yard layout design, and shipping efficiency: Item Y83-250A (Push-Out) Hydraulic Metal Baler Quantity 1 unit Nominal force (main cylinder) 2500 kN (250-ton class) Hydraulic system pressure 22 MPa Press box size (L×W×H) 2000 × 1400 × 900 mm Bale size (L×W×H) (200–1000) × 500 × 500 mm Max scrap thickness 6 mm Cycle length Approx. 120 sec Hydraulic pump 160YCY14-1B, 31.5 MPa, 160 ml/r, 2 sets Motor Y225M-6, 980 rpm, 30 kW, 2 sets Wear plates material Hardox 500 Weight About 21 ton Customer Feedback: What improved first in daily operations After commissioning, the customer reported improvements that were immediately visible on the yard floor: More orderly stockpiles: bales replaced scattered piles, freeing lanes and making equipment routes clearer. Tighter truck loading: standardized 500×500 bales stacked more efficiently, reducing voids and improving loading discipline. Less repeated re-handling: faster bale discharge and cleaner staging reduced “pick-move-reposition” time. More predictable dispatch: once output became standardized, shipment planning became simpler and daily schedules were easier to control. Conclusion: Why this matters for Senegal’s next stage of recycling growth This Senegal project reflects a broader market direction: as volumes increase and logistics pressure stays high, standardization becomes profit. A single, properly sized 250-ton push-out hydraulic metal baler can shift a yard from reactive handling to a controlled workflow. With a 2000×1400×900 mm press box, adjustable bale length (200–1000 mm), 500×500 mm bale cross-section, and an ~120-second cycle, the customer gained a more predictable “sort → bale → ship” process—supporting better yard flow, tighter loading, and smoother dispatch as Senegal’s scrap market continues to mature.

Market Background In Senegal, scrap yards and metal recyclers are increasingly focused on reducing transport cost per ton, improving yard organization, and shipping more consistently. Loose scrap takes up valuable space, slows handling, and often loads inefficiently—leaving “air gaps” in trucks. As volumes grow and dispatch schedules tighten, operators are upgrading from manual, stop-and-go handling to standardized baling, so materials become easier to stack, store, and ship. Customer & Application Scenario A Senegal-based recycling operator needed a practical solution for daily processing of mixed scrap metal. Their key challenges were familiar: bulky loose scrap created congestion, and loading cycles were inconsistent. The customer wanted one reliable machine to: Produce uniform bales for clean stacking and tighter truck loading Improve workflow at the “sort → ship” handoff point Reduce repeated re-handling and stabilize daily dispatch Operate with PLC automatic control and remote operation to simplify shift performance Our Solution To match these requirements, Jiangsu Wanshida Hydraulic Machinery Co., Ltd. supplied 2 units of the Y83-250A push-out type hydraulic metal baler. The push-out discharge design supports faster bale ejection and cleaner staging into the stacking/loading zone. This helps the customer build a repeatable routine: sort → feed → compress → push-out → stack → load, turning loose scrap into consistent, shippable bales. Customer Feedback (Early Operation) After commissioning, the customer reported that improvements showed up quickly in daily handling: Better yard order: bales replaced scattered piles, making equipment routes clearer. Faster loading: standardized bales stacked more tightly, reducing voids during truck loading. More predictable dispatch: a stable operating rhythm made planning shipments easier across shifts. Summary (Key Technical Parameters Included) The customer’s selection focused on measurable parameters that support output planning and layout design: Item Y83-250A (Push-Out) Hydraulic Metal Baler Quantity 1 unit Nominal force (main cylinder) 2500 kN (250-ton class) Hydraulic system pressure 22 MPa Press box size (L×W×H) 2000 × 1400 × 900 mm Bale size (L×W×H) (200–1000) × 500 × 500 mm Max scrap thickness 6 mm Cycle length Approx. 120 sec Hydraulic pump 160YCY14-1B, 31.5 MPa, 160 ml/r, 2 sets Motor Y225M-6, 980 rpm, 30 kW, 2 sets Wear plates material Hardox 500 Weight About 21 ton Customer Feedback (What mattered most) The customer’s main takeaway was that standard bale output simplified everything downstream—stacking became cleaner, loading became tighter, and dispatch timing became easier to control.

Conclusion This Senegal project shows how a single, properly sized 250-ton push-out type hydraulic metal baler can upgrade a yard’s shipping discipline. With a 2000×1400×900 mm press box, 500×500 mm-class bales with adjustable length, and an ~120-second cycle, the customer gained a more predictable “sort → bale → ship” workflow—supporting better yard flow, tighter truck loading, and smoother dispatch.

Market Background In the US scrap recycling market, operators are constantly balancing freight cost per ton, labor efficiency, and tight truck loading schedules. When mixed scrap remains loose—light structural pieces, workshop offcuts, and irregular bundles—it quickly expands across the yard, blocks equipment routes, and forces repeated re-handling. The result is predictable: slower loading, more “air gaps” in outbound trucks/containers, and a dispatch rhythm that becomes harder to control. That’s why many US yards are shifting toward standardized bales: consistent bale size improves stacking stability, increases loading density, and makes shipping plans easier to execute day after day. Customer & Application Scenario A US-based scrap processor wanted a practical upgrade for daily processing of loose mixed scrap. Their goal was not to build a complex line, but to add one reliable station that could: Produce uniform bales for easier stacking and tighter loading Reduce repeated re-handling and improve yard organization Support predictable truck loading windows with stable cycle performance Run with PLC automatic control with remote, while keeping hand valve control as a practical backup for operators Our Solution To match these requirements, Jiangsu Wanshida Hydraulic Machinery Co., Ltd. supplied 1 unit of the Y83-250 turn-out type hydraulic metal baler. The turn-out discharge style helps operators clear finished bales efficiently and keep the working zone clean, supporting a smoother “sort → feed → bale → stack → load” workflow. By converting bulky loose scrap into consistent bales, the yard can reduce stockpile sprawl and improve outbound loading density—without changing the rest of the site layout. Customer Feedback (Early Operation) After commissioning, the customer highlighted three practical improvements: Cleaner stacking and faster loading: standardized bales made it easier to build stable stacks and load trucks with fewer voids. Less internal congestion: fewer “pick-move-reposition” steps reduced traffic conflicts near the loading bay. More predictable dispatch planning: consistent cycle timing helped the team align baling output with truck arrival windows. Summary (Key Technical Parameters Included) To support selection, layout planning, and ROI evaluation, the customer focused on these core specifications: Item Y83-250 Turn-Out Type Hydraulic Metal Baler Quantity 1 unit Nominal force 2500 kN (250-ton class) Press box size (L×W×H) 2000 × 1400 × 900 mm Bale size (L×W×H) (≤800) × 500 × 500 mm Cycle length Approx. 120 seconds Capacity About 4.5–5.0 ton/h Hydraulic system pressure 25 MPa Hydraulic pump 160YCY14-1B, 31.5 MPa, 160 ml/r, 2 sets Motor 22 kW, 970 rpm, 2 sets Overall size About 5900 × 2250 × 2200 mm Weight About 19.5 ton Customer Feedback (What mattered most) The customer’s takeaway was simple: standard bale output improved shipping discipline. Once bales were consistent in size and easier to handle, the site spent less time “managing piles” and more time moving product out—especially during peak inbound days. Conclusion This US project shows why a properly sized turn-out type hydraulic metal baler remains a strong choice for yards focused on standardized bales and smoother dispatch. With a 2000×1400×900 mm press box, (≤800)×500×500 mm bale size, ~120-second cycle, and 4.5–5.0 ton/h throughput, the Y83-250 helps convert loose scrap into a more loadable, stackable product form—supporting higher loading density, clearer yard flow, and more predictable daily shipping.
