The Y81Q Used Metal Baler is a type of industrial compaction machine designed to compress scrap metal (such as aluminum, steel, copper, and other ferrous or non-ferrous metals) into dense, manageable bales for easier storage, transportation, and recycling.

Here’s a general overview of what the Y81Q model typically includes:

Key Features of the Y81Q Used Metal Baler:

- Type: Horizontal or vertical metal baler (commonly horizontal for higher throughput)

- Capacity: Typically handles materials like shredded metal, auto scrap, aluminum cans, or sheet metal

- Bale Size: Variable depending on model; often produces bales around 30–60 cm in width and height

- Compression Force: Ranges from 50 to 100 tons (depends on configuration)

- Power Source: Electric motor (usually 3-phase, 380V/50Hz), some models may have hydraulic systems

- Automation Level: Semi-automatic or fully automatic with PLC control

- Safety Features: Emergency stop, safety guards, pressure sensors, and interlocks

Common Applications:

- Scrap yards

- Recycling facilities

- Automotive dismantling centers

- Metal fabrication shops

- Manufacturing plants (for waste metal management)

Why Consider a *Used* Y81Q?

- Cost-effective compared to new balers

- Still capable of high performance if well-maintained

- Ideal for small to medium-sized operations

- Lower entry barrier for startups or budget-conscious recyclers

Things to Check When Buying a Used Y81Q:

1. Maintenance History – Ask for service records.

2. Hydraulic System – Look for leaks or worn hoses/seals.

3. Electric Motor & Controls – Ensure PLC and electrical components are functional.

4. Wear on Compression Plates & Ram – Excessive wear reduces efficiency.

5. Test Run – Request a demonstration before purchase.

6. Compatibility – Confirm it handles your specific material types and desired bale size.

Pro Tips:

- Always buy from reputable suppliers or certified dealers.

- Consider hiring a technician to inspect the machine before purchase.

- Factor in shipping, installation, and potential spare parts costs.
