A professional scrap metal recycling company in Zimbabwe recently purchased three units of 160-ton scrap metal balers from Jiangsu Wanshida Hydraulic Machinery Co., Ltd. After installation and commissioning, the customer reported very positive feedback, confirming stable operation, high baling efficiency, and excellent performance in daily scrap processing.

Main Applications in the Zimbabwe Scrap Recycling Market:

Zimbabwe’s scrap recycling sector is mainly supported by mining-related industries, construction activities, infrastructure maintenance, and manufacturing workshops. Large volumes of ferrous scrap such as steel plates, pipes, rebar, sheet metal, and mixed industrial offcuts must be processed efficiently to meet the requirements of local steel producers and regional export markets.

The 160-ton scrap metal baler is primarily used to compress loose and irregular scrap into dense, uniform bales. These bales are easier to store, transport, and sell, making the equipment well suited for scrap yards operating under cost-sensitive and efficiency-driven market conditions in Zimbabwe.

Direct Economic Benefits for the Customer:

By introducing three 160-ton scrap metal balers, the customer achieved several clear and measurable benefits:

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

2. Higher Scrap Value – Compact and standardized bales are more attractive to buyers, supporting more stable and competitive pricing.

3. Improved Processing Efficiency – Faster baling cycles increase daily throughput and shorten scrap turnover time.

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.

Durable Equipment for Challenging Operating Conditions:

Wanshida’s 160-ton scrap metal balers feature robust machine structures, reliable hydraulic systems, and wear-resistant components. Designed for continuous operation in demanding environments, the equipment ensures long service life and consistent performance, even under tough working conditions common in Zimbabwe.

Supporting Sustainable Recycling and Resource Utilization:

According to the customer, the new balers have significantly improved operational efficiency and overall profitability. Efficient scrap compression supports Zimbabwe’s efforts to promote metal recycling, reduce industrial waste, and improve resource utilization across the local economy.

Strengthening Our Presence in the African Market:

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 throughout Africa and worldwide.
