Hydraulic Metal Baler Selection Guide (Construction and Demolition Industry)

In the construction and demolition (C&D) industry, hydraulic metal balers are used to process various types of scrap metal. Below is a table with key points to consider when choosing a hydraulic metal baler for C&D waste:

Waste Type	Selection Points
Scrap Steel (Beams, Rebar, etc.)	Requires high compression force, typically 250 tons or more to handle large metal volumes.
Scrap Iron (Cast Iron Parts, etc.)	Needs strong compression; suitable for higher tonnage balers (250 tons or more).
Scrap Aluminum (Window Frames, Aluminum Alloys, etc.)	Can be handled by balers with lower compression force, to reduce energy consumption.
Scrap Copper (Copper Pipes, Wires, etc.)	Requires lower compression force, making medium-sized balers ideal for copper materials.
Scrap Car Bodies	Needs high compression force, typically requires large tonnage balers to handle large metal parts.
Construction Metal Waste (Steel Pipes, Metal Sheets, etc.)	Choose a baler based on the size of the waste, usually requiring high tonnage balers (250 tons or more).

Selection Recommendations:

Compression Force: For heavy scrap metal from construction and demolition, choose a baler with a compression force of 250 tons or more.

Bale Size: Choose an appropriate bale size (e.g., 500x500mm or 600x600mm) based on storage and transport needs.

Control System: If the working environment is complex, consider a PLC-controlled system for greater automation and less manual intervention.

This approach will ensure that the hydraulic metal baler efficiently handles construction and demolition metal waste.
