A Scrap Metal Press Machine (Heavy Duty) is a powerful industrial machine used to compress and compact scrap metal into dense, manageable bales or blocks for easier handling, transportation, and recycling. These machines are essential in scrapyards, recycling facilities, and metal processing plants.

Here’s a detailed overview of Heavy Scrap Metal Press Machines:

Key Features:

1. High Compression Force

- Typically ranges from 50 to 300 tons (or more), depending on the model.

- Capable of compacting ferrous and non-ferrous metals like steel, aluminum, copper, and iron.

2. Robust Construction

- Made from high-strength steel and reinforced frames.

- Designed for continuous operation under heavy loads.

3. Hydraulic System

- Uses hydraulic cylinders for smooth, powerful pressing.

- Often includes variable speed control and pressure monitoring.

4. Automatic Baling/Compaction

- Some models feature automatic ejection and bale tying (with wire or straps).

- Reduces manual labor and increases throughput.

5. Safety Features

- Emergency stop buttons.

- Safety guards and interlocks.

- Anti-jam systems and overload protection.

6. Adjustable Die Cavity

- Allows customization of bale size and shape (e.g., rectangular, square, or cylindrical).

7. Control Panel & Automation

- PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) for automated cycles.

- Touchscreen interface for easy operation and diagnostics.

Common Types:

| Type | Use Case |

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

| Vertical Press | Ideal for small to medium scrap yards; compact design. |

| Horizontal Press | High-capacity; used in large-scale recycling plants. |

| Baler Press | Specifically for thin metals like aluminum cans, car shells, etc. |

| Twin-Press / Multi-Station | For high-volume operations with multiple compaction zones. |

Typical Applications:

- Recycling of auto shredder residue (ASR)

- Compacting shredded aluminum, steel, and copper

- Preparing scrap for resale to smelters or mills

- Reducing storage space and transportation costs

Specifications (Example – Heavy Duty Model):

- Press Capacity: 150 tons

- Maximum Bale Size: 1.2 m x 1.0 m x 0.8 m (LxWxH)

- Power Supply: 3-phase 380V, 50/60 Hz

- Motor Power: 30–75 kW

- Cycle Time: ~45–90 seconds per bale

- Weight: 15,000–30,000 kg (depending on size)

Benefits:

- Increases scrap value by reducing volume (up to 80% reduction).

- Improves safety and reduces workplace hazards.

- Saves space in storage and transport.

- Lowers logistics and handling costs.

- Supports sustainable recycling practices.

Maintenance Tips:

- Regularly check hydraulic fluid levels and filter condition.

- Lubricate moving parts weekly.

- Inspect dies and ram for wear or damage.

- Calibrate sensors and safety systems monthly.
