A professional scrap metal recycling company in Iraq recently purchased four units of 250-ton scrap metal balers from Jiangsu Wandhida Hydraulic Machinery Co., Ltd. After installation and commissioning, the customer reported excellent operating results, highlighting high baling density, stable performance, and strong reliability in daily scrap processing.

Main Applications in the Iraqi Scrap Recycling Market:

Iraq’s scrap recycling industry is closely linked to post-war reconstruction, infrastructure development, oil & gas projects, and urban renewal. Large quantities of scrap steel are generated from demolition works, pipeline replacement, industrial maintenance, and construction activities.

The 250-ton scrap metal baler is mainly used to compress loose ferrous scrap, including steel plates, pipes, rebar, sheet metal, and mixed steel offcuts, into compact and uniform bales. These bales are suitable for transportation, storage, and direct supply to local steel mills or export markets.

Direct Economic Benefits for the Customer:

By introducing four units of 250-ton scrap metal balers, the customer achieved several direct and measurable benefits:

1. Significantly Increased Processing Capacity – Multiple balers operating in parallel greatly improve daily scrap handling volume.

2. Lower Transportation Costs – High-density bales maximize truck and container loading efficiency, reducing logistics expenses.

3. Improved Scrap Value – Compact, uniform bales are more attractive to steel mills and help secure better pricing.

4. Reduced Labor Intensity – Automated hydraulic baling minimizes manual handling and lowers labor requirements.

5. Better Yard Organization – Compressed bales save storage space and improve overall site management.

Designed for Heavy-Duty and Harsh Environments:

Wanshida’s 250-ton scrap metal balers are built with heavy-duty frames, high-quality hydraulic components, and reliable control systems. The equipment is well suited for continuous operation in Iraq’s high-temperature, dusty working environments, ensuring long service life and stable performance.

Supporting Efficient and Sustainable Recycling:

According to the customer, the balers have significantly improved operational efficiency and overall profitability. Efficient scrap compression reduces material waste, improves metal recovery rates, and supports Iraq’s efforts to promote recycling and sustainable use of steel resources during reconstruction.

Strengthening Our Presence in the Middle East Market:

This successful cooperation once again demonstrates Jiangsu Wanshida Hydraulic Machinery Co., Ltd.’s strong manufacturing capability and proven equipment quality. With nearly 30 years of experience, Wanshida continues to supply hydraulic metal balers, scrap shears, gantry shears, and complete scrap processing solutions to customers across the Middle East and worldwide.
