1) Project Background: Why Egypt yards are scaling “standard bales + faster yard flow”

In Egypt, many scrap yards sit close to dense industrial zones where inbound scrap volume can swing sharply by week. Mixed steel offcuts, light structural scrap, and workshop returns often arrive loose—taking up space, slowing forklift/grapple movement, and making truck loading less efficient. As competition increases, more Egyptian recyclers are focusing on one practical upgrade: producing standardized bales so stacking, storage, and shipping become predictable. In this environment, a reliable metal baler is not just a machine—it becomes the foundation of yard order and daily throughput.

2) Customer Profile & Application Needs

This Egypt-based customer wanted a scalable solution to handle daily inflow with less bottleneck risk. Their key requirements were:

• Increase capacity without over-complicating the workflow—hence choosing three units instead of one oversized line.

• Produce consistent bale dimensions for easier stacking and smoother dispatch.

• Keep operation simple for shift teams and maintenance planning.

• Ensure stable cycle performance for routine truck loading.

3) Solution Delivered: 3 × Y83-160 Metal Baler (Turn-out Type)

To match the yard’s expansion plan, Jiangsu Wanshida Hydraulic Machinery Co., Ltd. supplied three units of Y83-160 metal baler (turn-out type). With multiple identical machines, the customer can run parallel baling stations, balance shifts, and keep production moving even if one unit is offline for routine service—an important advantage for busy yards that can’t afford stoppages.

Just as importantly, the Y83-160 metal baler is designed to produce repeatable bale output, helping the customer standardize internal handling and shipping routines. In day-to-day practice, the Y83-160 metal baler supports a cleaner “sort → feed → bale → stack → load” flow with fewer interruptions.

5) On-Site Workflow: Why three metal balers changed the rhythm first

After commissioning, the customer organized the layout into multiple parallel “mini-lines”:

• One area for sorting and staging loose scrap

• Three baling points running the same operating logic

• A dedicated stacking zone for uniform bales ready for loading

With three metal baler stations, the yard can allocate different scrap streams to different machines (or run the same material across all three during peak days). This reduces internal waiting time, minimizes traffic conflicts, and keeps trucks moving on schedule.

6) Customer Feedback: What improved first in daily operations

Early feedback focused on practical, visible changes:

1. Smoother dispatch and stacking: uniform 400×400 bales stack more neatly, making loading plans easier to execute.

2. Less congestion during peak inflow: three Y83-160 metal baler units reduced queueing at the baling step and helped stabilize the yard’s daily rhythm.

3. More predictable production: consistent cycle timing made shift planning and truck scheduling easier, especially when inbound scrap spikes.

7) Key Takeaway for Egypt & North Africa Scrap Yards

This project reflects a common scaling strategy: instead of relying on one single station, adding multiple standardized metal balers can increase throughput, improve operational resilience, and simplify training and maintenance. For yards targeting consistent bale output and a stable shipping rhythm, the Y83-160 metal baler is a practical reference—especially when deployed as a multi-unit capacity upgrade.
