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.

Market Background In the United States, scrap operations are under steady pressure from freight costs, labor availability, and tighter loading schedules. When loose scrap accumulates—especially light mixed scrap and sheet offcuts—it quickly expands across the yard, blocks equipment routes, and slows dispatch. Many recyclers are now prioritizing standardized bale output to reduce “air gaps” in trucks/containers, improve stacking stability, and keep shipping windows predictable. As a result, demand is rising for automatic hydraulic metal balers that can densify scrap quickly while keeping operation consistent across shifts. Customer & Application Scenario A US-based scrap recycler needed to improve its “sort → ship” efficiency for daily inbound batches of loose, light steel scrap. Their workflow challenge was familiar: loose material created yard congestion and required repeated re-handling before loading. The customer wanted a solution that could: Produce uniform bales for easier stacking and faster truck loading Reduce manual handling and stabilize shift performance Maintain consistent output with reliable automation Scale capacity by adding multiple identical machines Our Solution To match these needs, Jiangsu Wan Shida Hydraulic Machinery Co., Ltd. supplied 2 units of a 200-ton side push-out hydraulic metal baler, featuring PLC automatic control with remote operation. This configuration is designed to convert loose scrap into consistent bales with a repeatable cycle, helping the yard build a cleaner, more predictable dispatch routine. The side push-out discharge supports fast bale ejection and smoother staging into the stacking/loading zone, which is especially useful when inbound volume surges. Key Technical Parameters (Included for selection and planning) Below are the key specs the customer referenced for capacity planning and layout design: Item Specification Product Hydraulic Metal Baler (Side Push-Out Type) Quantity 2 units Nominal force 200 ton class (2000 kN) Control PLC automatic control + remote Press room size (L×W×H) 1600 × 1200 × 800 mm Bale size (L×W×H) (250–500) × 400 × 400 mm Cycle time ~60 seconds Output capacity ~3500–5000 kg/h Bale density ~2.0 t/m³ System pressure 25 MPa Cooling Air cooling system Customer Feedback After commissioning, the customer reported that the first improvements were operational, not cosmetic: Cleaner yard flow: converting loose scrap into standardized bales reduced stockpile sprawl and made equipment routes clearer. Faster, more consistent loading: uniform bales stacked tighter, helped reduce voids during loading, and shortened truck turnaround time. More stable daily rhythm: PLC automation with remote operation improved shift-to-shift consistency and reduced repeated manual re-handling. Conclusion This US project shows a practical trend: when freight costs and dispatch timing matter, improving results often starts with standardizing the product form. By deploying two 200-ton PLC-controlled side push-out hydraulic metal balers with a 1600×1200×800 mm press room, the customer strengthened a reliable “sort → bale → stack → load” workflow. With ~60-second cycles, ~3500–5000 kg/h capacity, and 400×400 mm bale output, the yard gained a more predictable operation that supports faster shipping and better space utilization.

1) Project Background: Why Turkish yards are pushing for “standard bales + faster loading” In Turkey, scrap handling is often closely tied to tight trucking schedules, limited yard space, and consistent feedstock requirements from downstream steelmaking and trading channels. Mixed scrap—light structural pieces, workshop offcuts, and irregular loose material—can quickly create bottlenecks when it remains uncompressed: stockpiles spread out, handling time increases, and trucks leave with avoidable “air gaps.” That’s why more Turkish operators are prioritizing standardized bale output to improve stacking, storage order, and dispatch speed. In this environment, upgrading to a reliable hydraulic metal baler becomes a practical step toward smoother daily yard flow. 2) Customer Profile & Application Needs A Turkey-based scrap processing customer wanted a straightforward capacity and workflow upgrade without adding complexity. Their goals were: Produce consistent bales for cleaner stacking and more efficient truck/container loading. Reduce repeated re-handling of loose scrap to ease yard congestion. Maintain stable cycle performance to support predictable dispatch timing. Keep operation and maintenance simple for shift teams. 3) Solution Delivered: Y83-250 (Turn-Out) Metal Baler To match these requirements, the customer purchased 1 unit of Y83-250 (turn-out) metal baler. As a hydraulic scrap baling press, this model is designed to compress loose scrap into uniform bales, supporting a more repeatable “sort → feed → bale → stack → load” routine. For Turkish yards seeking operational clarity, a well-sized metal hydraulic baler machine can deliver visible benefits quickly: better yard order, easier loading, and more consistent outbound shipments. 4) Specification Table (Quotation Configuration) Item Specification Model Y83-250 (turn-out) Metal Baler Nominal Force 2500 kN Hydraulic System Pressure 25 MPa Press Box Size (L×W×H) 2000 × 1400 × 900 mm Bale Size (L×W×H) (–800) × 500 × 500 mm Cycle Time Approx. 120 sec Capacity About 4.5–5.0 ton/h Hydraulic Pump 160YCY14-1B; nominal pressure 31.5 MPa; nominal outflow 160 ml/r; 2 sets Motor Y200L2-6; 970 rpm; 22 kW; 2 sets Main Cylinder YG340/220-1000; stroke 1000 mm; 1 pc Side Cylinders YG240/160-1580; 1200 kN × 2; stroke 1580 mm; 2 pcs Top Cover Cylinder YG200/140-1350; 800 kN; stroke 1350 mm; 1 pc Bale Turn-Out Cylinder YG125/80-395; 80 kN; stroke 395 mm; 1 pc Overall Size About 5900 × 2250 × 2200 mm Weight About 19.5 ton 5) On-Site Workflow: Where the upgrade changed the rhythm first After commissioning, the customer positioned the industrial scrap baler at the key handoff point between sorting and shipping: Loose scrap is staged near the press box for quicker feeding. The baling cycle stays predictable, helping operators plan loading windows more accurately. Uniform bales move to a dedicated stacking zone, making forklift/crane routes clearer and reducing traffic conflicts near the loading bay. In practice, this layout helps Turkish yards reduce “stop-and-go” movement caused by loose scrap piles and makes outbound logistics easier to execute. 6) Customer Feedback: What improved first in daily operations Early operational feedback typically focuses on practical, visible improvements: Cleaner stacking and smoother loading: consistent bale dimensions make it easier to build stable stacks and load trucks with fewer voids—exactly what a hydraulic metal baler is meant to achieve. Less internal congestion: fewer re-handling steps and clearer material flow reduced traffic conflicts during busy hours. More predictable dispatch planning: with an ~120-second cycle and stable output rhythm, scheduling trucks became simpler and more reliable. 7) Key Takeaway for Turkey & Nearby Markets This project reflects a common upgrade logic: when yard space and loading efficiency matter, investing in a single, properly sized hydraulic metal baler can unlock better order, faster dispatch, and more consistent bale quality. For operators who want standardized output without building a complex processing line, the Y83-250 metal hydraulic baler is a strong reference point.
