The hydraulic horizontal metal baler is primarily designed for compacting various types of light, thin plastic, as well as ferrous and non-ferrous metal waste into dense rectangular blocks. It can process nearly 10 tons of scrap metal each hour, making the baled materials more convenient for storage and transportation. This equipment is ideal for steel mills, non-ferrous metal factories, and smelters that need to manage metal scrap efficiently.
Safety is our top priority for all metal balers, incorporating features like safety interlocks, emergency stop buttons, and guards to help prevent accidents. Shuliy manufactures a variety of scrap metal balers, each designed to handle different weights of materials per batch.
What materials can be processed by a metal pressing baler?
Our horizontal metal baler is commonly utilized in steel mills, the metal products sector, metal recycling, and processing, as well as in metal casting and smelting operations.
It effectively compresses various types of scrap metal up to 10mm thick, including steel, aluminum, copper, brass, waste oil cans, old steel windows, and discarded bicycles.
Whether you’re managing automotive scrap, manufacturing leftovers, or construction debris, our balers are equipped to handle everything, turning large scrap pieces into compact, manageable bales.

Structure of a horizontal metal baler
A scrap metal baler is usually composed of a hydraulic system, packing room, operation control system, and safety device.
- The hydraulic system provides the pressure and power required in the baling process.
- The packing room is the area where the metal materials are placed and baled.
- The operation control system is used to control the operation of the baler and adjust the system of operating parameters.
- Safety devices ensure the safety of the operator and the equipment.
Scrap metal press machine working principle
A scrap metal press machine is to apply pressure through a hydraulic cylinder. Then the metal materials are compressed into tight blocks in the packing chamber.
First, put the metal materials into the packing chamber.
Then, by manipulating the hydraulic system, the hydraulic cylinder exerts pressure to compress the material and finally form a strong package.
Finally, when the baling is completed, the packing chamber can be opened and the baled material can be removed.
Advantages of scrap metal baler machine
- Small footprint: Our horizontal metal baler machines have a small volume, are lightweight, have a small print, and space-saving.
- The smooth operation of the metal baler: A horizontal metal baler is characterized by low inertia of movement, low noise, flexible operation, etc.
- Convenient operation: The metal recycling machine we produce is controlled by liquid-electric integration. This can stop and run at any working position, and it is easy to achieve overload protection.
- Wide range of applications: In addition to scrap metal. Hydraulic metal balers can be used as processing equipment for scrap plastic film baling and as a similar product baling, compaction, and other functions of processing equipment.
Hydraulic metal baler repair and maintenance
- Users need to check the various lines of the hydraulic horizontal metal baler promptly—for example, the power steering valve, motor, electromagnetic reversing valve, etc.
- Regularly clean the hydraulic metal baler screen and relief valve and make appropriate adjustments.
- Timely in the oil tank to add clean hydraulic oil. And the oil pump for the necessary repair or replacement.
