A brief introduction to waste metal pressing baler

A horizontal metal baler is a kind of equipment using a hydraulic system. Used for metal scrap, scrap, and other materials for extrusion baling. It compresses the material into a tight package by applying hydraulic pressure. The baled scrap is easy to store, transport and recycle. Shuliy produces scrap metal balers in different models that can handle different weights of materials per batch.

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.

Working principle of scrap metal press machine

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.
