A 250 Ton Steel Scrap Compactor Machine is a heavy-duty industrial equipment used in recycling facilities to compress loose or bulky steel scrap into dense, manageable bales or blocks. This machine significantly improves the efficiency of transportation, storage, and subsequent melting processes in steel mills.

Here’s a detailed overview of a 250-ton steel scrap compactor:

Key Features & Specifications:

| Feature | Details |

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

| Press Capacity | 250 tons (250,000 kg) |

| Compaction Force | Up to 250 tons (approx. 2,450 kN) |

| Bale Size (Typical) | 1.2 m (L) × 0.8 m (W) × 0.6 m (H) – adjustable |

| Bale Density | Up to 4.5–5.0 tons per cubic meter |

| Power Source | Hydraulic system (electric motor + hydraulic pump) |

| Drive System | Servo-controlled or variable frequency drive (VFD) for precise control |

| Control Panel | PLC-based with HMI touchscreen interface |

| Safety Systems | Emergency stop, light curtains, door interlocks, pressure sensors |

| Material Handling | Conveyor feeding system (optional), hydraulic ram for ejection |

How It Works:

1. Feeding: Loose steel scrap (e.g., shredded metal, auto parts, construction debris) is fed into the chamber via a conveyor or manual loading.

2. Compression: A powerful hydraulic ram pushes down on the material, compacting it into a dense block.

3. Baling: Once compressed, the machine locks the bale using clamps or a tie system (if equipped).

4. Ejection: The finished bale is pushed out by a rear ram or ejector system.

5. Repetition: The cycle repeats for continuous operation.

Benefits:

- Reduces volume by up to 70–80%, saving space and transport costs.

- Increases scrap value due to higher density and cleaner, uniform bales.

- Improves safety by minimizing loose, sharp scrap.

- Enhances efficiency in downstream processing (melting, smelting).

Applications:

- Automotive shredder residue (ASR)

- Construction and demolition (C&D) steel

- Industrial scrap from factories

- Recycling centers and scrap yards

Optional Add-ons:

- Automatic feeding system

- Bale tying machine (wire or strap)

- Dust extraction system

- Remote monitoring & diagnostics

- Customized bale size and shape

Considerations When Purchasing:

- Site Space: Ensure enough room for installation and operation.

- Power Supply: Typically requires 3-phase 380–480V, 50/60 Hz.

- Maintenance: Regular hydraulic fluid changes and wear part inspections (rams, seals, dies).

- Certifications: Look for ISO, CE, or other regional compliance marks.

If you're looking to buy, lease, or customize a 250-ton steel scrap compactor, it's recommended to:

- Request a site visit or video demo.

- Discuss capacity and throughput needs.

- Confirm after-sales support and spare parts availability.

FAQ

> Does 2 Ram Baler Scrap Metal Press machine have PLC control? 

Yes, the machine has PLC automatic control, easy to operate and more efficient, and also has manual control, easy to debug and maintain the baler machine.    

> What is the weight of 630Ton Heavy Duty  metal Scrap Recycling Baler? 

The weight of the machine is different, different type of baler machine is differetn, for small vertical baler machine, the weight is small, and for metal scrap baler machine, the weight is heavy and big.    

> What is warranty term of the Scrap steel Wire Press Machine?

Within the guarantee period, in the event of any malfunction caused by the quality of the commodity, we provide free components for replacement. Wear parts are exclusive from this warranty. We also provide technical support for the whole lifespan of the machine.    

> How much is the shipping cost of Scrap Baling Press Machines For Steel Scrap? 

The shipping cost is varying over time,and different models of baler machine will need different containers to hold, if peak season and bigger models, the shipping cost will be higher, and on the contrary, the cost will be lower.    

> What are all the skills required to operate a Scrap Steel scrap Baler Machine manufactured by Diloya? 

No special skills, just read the user manual carefully before operating the baler machine, if you have any questions, feel free to contact with us, we can help you at any time.    

> What is after-services of Metal Scrap Crusher With Baler? 

We provide training and installation services, we can guide you how to install, test, use, operate and maintain the baler machine for free, which also include video support, email services, and in a word, we can get everything done.    

> Before shipment, can you take testing video of Aluminium Scrap Baling Machine? 

Yes, of course, we not only can take a video of machine running before shipment, we also can take videos, photos of the process of manufacturing the baler for you.  

> How much would Automatic Baler Stainless Steel scrap press , its installation, and training cost me? 

The price of baler machine is different according to different bale size, bale weight and output capacity as for the installation, training cost, the machine is very easy, just put it on horizontal ground, adding hydraulic oil, connect to power supply, then operate per user manuals.    

> Is it possible to change the wear plate on 200 Ton Metal Baler press? 

We have two method to fix the wear steel plate, one is welding the wear plate on the baler machine, and another type is changeable, whichever type of fixing, we can do it per your special requirement.
