A professional scrap metal recycling company in Turkey recently purchased two units of 250-ton scrap metal balers from Jiangsu Wanshida Hydraulic Machinery Co., Ltd. After installation and continuous operation, the customer reported excellent performance, highlighting high baling density, stable operation, and reliable results in daily scrap processing.

Main Applications in the Turkish Scrap Recycling Market:

Turkey has a well-developed steel industry and is one of the major scrap-consuming countries in the world. Large volumes of scrap metal are generated from construction demolition, manufacturing plants, shipbreaking activities, and industrial maintenance. Scrap recyclers must process mixed ferrous scrap efficiently to meet the strict quality standards of domestic steel mills and export markets.

The 250-ton scrap metal baler is mainly used to compress loose and irregular scrap such as steel plates, pipes, rebar, sheet metal, and structural offcuts into dense, uniform bales. These bales are suitable for direct charging into electric arc furnaces (EAF) or for export, helping recyclers improve material handling efficiency.

Direct Economic Benefits for the Customer:

By introducing two 250-ton scrap metal balers, the customer achieved several clear and direct benefits:

1. Lower Transportation Costs – High-density bales significantly improve truck and container loading efficiency, reducing logistics expenses.

2. Higher Scrap Value – Compact and standardized bales are more attractive to steel mills, supporting better and more stable pricing.

3. Improved Processing Efficiency – Fast baling cycles increase daily throughput and shorten material turnover time.

4. Reduced Labor Dependency – Automated hydraulic baling reduces manual handling and labor intensity.

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

Reliable Equipment for Heavy-Duty Industrial Use:

Wanshida’s 250-ton scrap metal balers are engineered with heavy-duty frames, high-quality hydraulic components, and stable control systems. Designed for continuous operation in busy scrap yards, the equipment ensures long service life and consistent baling performance under demanding working conditions.

Supporting Sustainable Steel Recycling:

According to the customer, the new balers have significantly improved operational efficiency and profitability. Efficient scrap compression supports Turkey’s strong focus on steel recycling, reduced carbon emissions, and sustainable industrial development.

Strengthening Our Presence in the European and Middle East Markets:

This successful project further demonstrates Jiangsu Wanshida Hydraulic Machinery Co., Ltd.’s strong manufacturing capability and reliable product quality in the global scrap recycling equipment market. With nearly 30 years of experience, Wanshida continues to provide hydraulic metal balers, scrap shears, gantry shears, and complete scrap processing solutions to customers across Europe, the Middle East, and worldwide.
