Hydraulic vertical metal balers apply vertical downward force and pressure to compress various materials. They can effectively bale a range of items, such as cardboard, paper, textiles, cans, plastics, and non-ferrous metals. The materials are cold-baled into dense rectangular blocks, making them easier to store and transport.
Among the different types of balers, vertical balers are the most cost-effective, occupy the least space in a facility, and are straightforward and safe to operate. They can produce bales in sizes of 24, 30, 36, 48, 60, and 72 inches. The production process involves the operator loading the material, cycling the piston, and tying the bales.
What material can you process in hydraulic metal balers?
This baler is recognized for its versatility and can manage a diverse range of materials, such as corrugated cardboard, newsprint, PET plastic bottles, HDPE plastics, aluminum cans, tin cans, steel cans, automotive scraps, manufacturing trimmings, construction debris, shrink-wrap, plastic films, fabrics, and textiles.
Who will benefit from vertical metal scrap balers?
A vertical hydraulic baler is primarily designed for compressing and baling various types of loose, fine, or waste materials. This equipment finds extensive application across multiple industries, including waste paper, plastics, metal scraps, and fabrics.
Key users include large retail stores, kiosks, schools, warehouses, hospitals, pharmacies, distribution centers, grocery stores, home retailers, recyclers, manufacturing plants, non-ferrous scrap yards, municipal recycling facilities, shopping plazas, supermarkets, and hotels.
Benefits of industrial waste baling and recycling
- Cut costs – save money by lowering disposal expenses.
- Optimize space – decrease clutter and lessen trip hazards.
- Boost revenue – earn money by selling paper bales to paper mills.
- Energy savings and reduction – for instance, recycling aluminum products can save around 95% of energy.
Components of scrap baling machine
The scrap baling machine is mainly composed of the following components:
- Hydraulic system: provides strong pressure to achieve the compression force in the metal baling process.
- Frame and hopper: support and fix the metal material so that it can be baled and compressed.
- Hydraulic cylinder and piston: push the piston to the frame by hydraulic pressure. Also, apply pressure to bale the metal material into a compact form.
- Control panel: used to control the operation and parameter setting of the vertical metal baler, adjusting parameters such as pressure and baling time.
Vertical metal compactor working principle
Preparation
Recyclable items are loaded into the baler chamber to ensure safe and proper placement.
Start the baler
The hydraulic system is started through the control panel so that the hydraulic cylinders and pistons of the vertical metal baler start to operate.
Compression process
The hydraulic cylinder pushes the piston downward to apply pressure. A platen at the end of the hydraulic cylinder compresses the material until the desired bale size is reached.
Finish baling
Once the preset baling state is reached, the hydraulic system stops working and baling is finished. The bales are then tied together with wire or strapping.
Discharge method
According to the demand, the vertical metal baler discharges the baled metal pieces through different discharge methods. You can choose manual or automatic discharge mode.
The size and weight of the blocks of recyclables that come out of a baler varies, depending on the size of the baler you use.
Discharge methods of scrap sheet balers
Vertical scrap balers have different discharge methods, customers can choose the required mode according to their needs.
- Manual discharge: the operator manually removes the baled metal blocks from the baler, which is suitable for smaller production scale and operation space.
- Automatic discharge: the baled metal blocks are automatically transported to the designated location through the automatic conveying system, which is suitable for mass production and continuous operation.
Hydraulic sheet metal baler advantages
- Compared with horizontal balers, vertical scrap baling machines are more compact in terms of space occupation, and suitable for limited space.
- Made from high-strength steel and hydraulic parts, it offers excellent load-bearing capacity and durability.
- According to the demand, you can choose manual or automatic discharge methods, have high flexibility, and adapt to different working environments.
- The material box features a rotary closed lid design, providing a large opening area that makes it particularly easy to feed in large, empty, and thin materials.
- All moving components operate using hydraulic pressure, ensuring stable performance, high packing pressure, secure bundling, and efficient packing.
