Case Study (Poland) — Reducing “Touches per Ton”: When Re-handling Costs More Than Power

Case Study (Poland) — Reducing “Touches per Ton”: When Re-handling Costs More Than Power

2026-02-09

Market Background 

In Poland’s recycling operations, productivity is increasingly measured by flow—not just force. Many yards learn that their real cost is not the machine rating; it’s how many times scrap gets moved before it leaves the site. Re-handling consumes equipment hours, adds labor, and creates congestion near loading lanes. Meanwhile, buyers favor tidy, consistent bale output because it speeds storage and downstream handling. The market direction is clear: convert loose scrap into manageable units early, then move those units with fewer internal steps.

Customer & Application Scenario 

This Polish customer was seeing daily losses from repeated handling:

  • Scrap was moved multiple times before it became loadable

  • Staging areas overflowed during peak inbound days

  • Inconsistent packing created unstable piles and slower loading
    The customer wanted a baling station that could “lock in” a consistent output form and reduce internal movement.

Our Solution (Workflow + Selection Logic)

Jiangsu Wanshida Hydraulic Machinery Co., Ltd. delivered 1 set Y83-250A push-out scrap metal baler to stabilize output and simplify the yard routine. The design intent was operational: produce consistent bales with predictable cycle timing so the yard can build a repeatable system rather than improvising daily. The push-out discharge supports smooth staging, and the press box size helps accept loose scrap batches efficiently. Workflow:
Sort → Feed → Compress → Push-out → Stack → Load.

Product Specification Table (Key Technical Parameters)

Item Specification
Model Y83-250A (Push-out) Metal Baler
Quantity 1 set
Main Cylinder Force 2500 kN
Side Cylinder Force 1220 kN × 2
Top Cover Cylinder Force 848 kN
Small Door Cylinder Force 542 kN
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

The customer reported fewer internal moves: once scrap became a bale, it stayed a bale—easier to stage and faster to load. They also noted that operators spent less time “fixing piles” and more time producing shippable output. Over time, dispatch planning became calmer because bale output rhythm provided a predictable daily baseline.

Key Takeaway 

In real yards, profitability improves when you reduce touches per ton. A 250-ton push-out scrap metal baler helps convert loose scrap into a repeatable unit that stacks, stores, and ships with fewer internal moves.

FAQ (3)

Q1: What bale size range can this model produce?
Length is adjustable from 200–1000 mm with a 500×500 mm cross-section.
Q2: What determines real output stability?
Consistent feeding and staging discipline, plus stable cycle operation.
Q3: How do I choose between different tonnages?
Match scrap type and max thickness to press force and press box size.

CTA: Share your scrap stream and loading method (forklift/crane). We’ll recommend the best baler layout to reduce re-handling.
