Market Background

Azerbaijan’s steel and recycling chain is increasingly focused on stable furnace feed preparation, faster yard turnover, and predictable shipment quality. As scrap intake grows from construction, manufacturing offcuts, and mixed light-to-medium scrap streams, many mill-side recycling operators face the same bottleneck: bulky scrap occupies space, loading becomes inefficient, and inconsistent scrap sizing slows downstream handling. At the same time, labor and logistics costs push operators to standardize output and reduce repeated re-handling. In this environment, integrated baling + shearing equipment is gaining traction because it compresses loose scrap into manageable bales and cuts to delivery-ready lengths—helping yards and mill-prep sites run on a repeatable, high-throughput rhythm.

Customer & Application Scenario

A steel mill recycling company in Azerbaijan needed to improve its front-end scrap preparation for regular processing and shipment. Their key pain points were:

• Yard congestion caused by loose, irregular scrap stockpiles

• Slow preparation during peak inflow, creating queues and dispatch delays

• Non-standard scrap sizing, making stacking, loading, and downstream handling less efficient

• Too many “touches” per ton (extra moves to reposition, trim, or re-sort material)

The customer’s goal was clear: one machine that could densify and shear scrap in a single workflow, producing consistent output and keeping daily throughput stable.

Our Solution

To match the customer’s targets, Jiangsu Wanshida Hydraulic Machinery Co., Ltd. supplied 1 unit of the Y83Q-6300C 630-ton scrap metal baler shear. The project focused on building a clean, repeatable processing loop: feed → compress → bale → shear → stack/load, reducing time lost to secondary handling. With a large press room, defined bale dimensions, and a stable cutting rhythm, the baler shear supports mill-side preparation where throughput and consistency matter more than “one-off cutting.”

Customer Feedback (Early Operation)

In early operation, the customer reported improvements that showed up quickly on-site:

1. Smoother yard flow: loose scrap piles reduced faster, freeing lanes and improving equipment routing.

2. More predictable output: compressed and sheared material became easier to stack and load with fewer oversize pieces.

3. Higher processing confidence: a stable operating rhythm reduced peak-day backlogs and improved dispatch planning.

Summary (Key Technical Parameters Included)

Below are the core parameters used for selection, layout planning, and throughput expectations:

Customer Feedback (What Mattered Most)

The customer’s main takeaway was process predictability. Once the site could produce consistent bales and shear them at a stable pace, yard organization improved and truck loading became easier to schedule. Fewer secondary moves and fewer “problem pieces” meant less disruption during busy intake periods.

Conclusion

This Azerbaijan project shows why integrated baling-shearing is increasingly chosen for mill-side recycling and high-throughput yards. With a 6000×2500×795 mm press room, 15–20 t/h capacity, 2–3 cuts/min, and consistent bale dimensions, the Y83Q-6300C 630-ton scrap metal baler shear helps convert loose scrap into a more standardized, delivery-ready form—improving yard flow, loading efficiency, and daily dispatch stability.
