A 250-ton steel scrap baler is a heavy-duty industrial machine designed to compress and compact large volumes of steel scrap into dense, manageable bales for easier handling, transportation, and recycling. These balers are commonly used in scrap yards, metal recycling facilities, and steel manufacturing plants.

Here’s an overview of key features, specifications, and applications of a 250-ton steel scrap baler:

Key Features & Specifications

| Feature | Description |

|--------|-------------|

| Baling Capacity | Up to 250 tons (250,000 kg) of compressive force |

| Bale Size | Typically 1.2m x 0.8m x 0.6m (L×W×H), adjustable based on material and customer needs |

| Material Type | Steel scrap (e.g., shredded steel, cut-off sections, automotive scrap, rail tracks, etc.) |

| Hydraulic System | High-pressure hydraulic system with variable speed pumps and advanced controls |

| Control System | PLC-based automation with touch-screen HMI interface for precise operation |

| Bale Density | Can achieve up to 70–80% density (compared to loose scrap), maximizing transport efficiency |

| Safety Features | Emergency stop buttons, interlocks, pressure sensors, and safety barriers |

| Frame Construction | Reinforced steel frame with high-strength alloy components for durability |

| Operating Speed | Cycle time: ~30–60 seconds per bale (depending on material type and size) |

Applications

- Scrap Metal Recycling Plants

- Automotive Shredding Facilities

- Steel Mills & Foundries

- Railway & Infrastructure Scrap Recovery

- Industrial Waste Management Centers

Benefits of Using a 250-Ton Steel Baler

- Space Saving: Reduces volume by up to 70–80%.

- Cost Reduction: Lower transportation and storage costs.

- Improved Handling: Uniform bales are easier to load/unload and stack.

- Higher Resale Value: Dense, clean bales fetch better prices in the scrap market.

- Automation & Efficiency: Minimizes manual labor and increases throughput.

Maintenance Tips

- Regularly check hydraulic fluid levels and replace filters.

- Inspect wear parts (e.g., ram seals, side plates, guide rails).

- Lubricate moving components weekly.

- Calibrate pressure sensors and safety systems periodically.

- Train operators on safe operating procedures.

Notes

- A 250-ton baler is typically not suitable for small-scale operations—ideal for medium to large recycling facilities.

- Some models offer automatic tie-wrapping systems using steel wire or polyester straps.

- Customization options include different feeding mechanisms (e.g., conveyor-fed, crane-fed).

Example Manufacturers

- Krebs Industries (USA)

- SCHMIDT Group (Germany)

- CME Group (China/Global)

- Baling Systems Inc. (Canada)

FAQ

> What is pump flow of Aluminum Cans Baling? 

The pump flow of the baler machine is diffent depending on different models, in a word, small models baler machine will have small pump flow, and bigger baler will use bigger pump flow accordingly.    

> Are the interchangeable wear plate installed on Scrap Iron Baling press machine? 

Yes, the wear steel plate is changeable, you can easily change it when which wear plate is going to change, and we also can weld the wear plate directly, because this way, it is durable ans stable.    

> What is the delivery time of Automatic Scrap Compress Hydraulic Machine? 

The delivery time of the baler is different according to different models, and also according to our production plan, any way, we will try our best to finish the machine as early as possible.    

> What is pressing force of France Scrap metal Baler Press? 

The pressing force of the briquetting or baler machine is different depends on different models, smaller machine has small pressing force, and bigger machines has big pressing force; and it is also determined by the material charastics and bale or briquette density.    

> What bale size does the How To Scrap Compressor For Recycle Matels produce? 

We can customize the bale size per your requirement, also you can tell us your requirement, we can suggest you suitable bale size accordingly.    

> How much pressing force of Heavy Metal Scrap Press Machine? 

The pressing force of the baler machine is different depends on which model will you need, if you have small capacity, and small bale size and bale weight, then small baler is Ok for you, and the pressing force is small accordingly, such as 100tons or 125tons.    

> Where to find cheap Y81-63 Hydraulic Scrap Metal Press Balers? 

You can search the metal scrap baler machine which you want in the Google Search, then you will find many suppliers who have this kind of baler machine, then you need to make some comparisons of these suppliers, then you can find good supplier with lower prices.    

> What is trade term of Scrap Baling Recycling Prices In Pakistan? 

Trade term of the baler machine are FOB, CIF, CNF, these 3 terms, and we also can per your requirements.
