Case Study (Poland) — Standard Bales as a Shipping Tool: Turning Loose Scrap into Predictable Loads

Case Study (Poland) — Standard Bales as a Shipping Tool: Turning Loose Scrap into Predictable Loads

2026-02-09

Market Background 

Poland’s scrap and steel supply chain is becoming more “schedule-driven.” As recycling volumes grow and transport pricing stays sensitive, yards increasingly compete on how efficiently they can move material out. Loose scrap is a common margin killer: it expands across the yard, blocks travel lanes, and loads poorly—leaving “air gaps” in trucks. Downstream buyers and traders also prefer consistent bale formats because they are easier to stack, store, and re-handle with standard equipment. This is why the market outlook favors standardized baling: a consistent bale is a repeatable unit that improves yard order, loading density, and dispatch reliability.

Customer & Application Scenario 

A Polish scrap operator processing mixed light steel scrap and workshop offcuts was facing three bottlenecks at the “sort → ship” stage:

  • Loose scrap took up too much space and created yard congestion

  • Truck loading was slow and inconsistent due to irregular material shape

  • Too many re-handling steps (“touches per ton”) consumed machine hours and labor
    The customer wanted a practical way to convert irregular scrap into uniform bales that stack cleanly and ship on schedule.

Our Solution (Workflow + Selection Logic)

Jiangsu Wanshida Hydraulic Machinery Co., Ltd. supplied 1 set of the Y83-250A push-out metal baler with a focus on stable daily operation and standardized bale output. The push-out discharge supports a clean “bale → stack → load” rhythm by ejecting the finished bale efficiently into the staging area. The selection logic was straightforward: match pressing force, press box size, and cycle timing to the customer’s scrap stream so the yard can run a repeatable loop:
Sort → Feed → Compress → Push-out → Stack → Load.

Product Specification Table 

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 that the first improvement was yard order: loose piles were replaced by consistent bales that were easier to stack and stage. Next, truck loading became more predictable because bale size consistency reduced last-minute reshuffling. Finally, daily dispatch planning improved—once output became standardized, the yard could schedule loading windows with less buffer time and fewer delays caused by oversize or awkward pieces.

Key Takeaway

For Polish yards trying to protect margin under logistics pressure, standardized baling is a practical upgrade. A push-out scrap metal baler helps reduce re-handling, improves loading density, and stabilizes dispatch rhythm—especially when bale size and cycle timing match the real scrap mix.

FAQ (3)

Q1: Why choose push-out discharge?
Push-out discharge supports faster bale ejection and cleaner staging for stacking and loading.
Q2: What scrap is best suited for this model?
Mixed light steel scrap and offcuts within the 6 mm thickness guideline.
Q3: What do I need to confirm before ordering?
Scrap type, max thickness, daily tonnage, target bale length, and site layout.

 

CTA: Send your scrap type + max thickness + daily tons + target bale size/length + power supply. We’ll recommend the best configuration and layout.
